Troupe members Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones helmed this feature, bringing to it a visual style that is both cinematic and outrageously surreal.

Thirty-one years after its release, this remains my favorite Python feature, and you probably already know if it's yours as well.

This innovative and hilarious spoof on the Arthurian tales is a laugh riot from start to finish; best of all is the pacification program for the Knights who say "Ni!"

Uma comédia repleta de momentos clássicos do gênero – e este longa-metragem foi apenas o primeiro do inesquecível Monty Python.

Perhaps the most original comedy - or at least the most ridiculously funny historically semi-accurate comedy spoof - of all time

Holy Grail suffers from the same syndrome that afflicts many of these restored classics: It is better remembered than actually seen.
