One of the most beloved comedies of all time (and arguably the most quoted), "Holy Grail" is nothing short of a masterpiece. Clocking in just under 90 minutes, it makes for one of the tightest and most enjoyable spoofs you'll ever see. It is a collection of exuberant, ludicrous vignettes that have themselves become as recognizable and venerable as the events they ostensibly depicted. While it's relatively tamer than "Monty Python's Life of Brian" and "The Meaning of Life" (both great comedies in their own right), I consider "Holy Grail" the crowning achievement (pun intended) of Graham, Eric, Terry, Terry, Mike and John. Think back and remember the first time you saw the 'Black Knight' scene. Tell me you didn't end up describing it to all your friends the next day. ("...and the King cuts off his LEGS and the Knight is still fighting! Blood's pouring out of his bloody stumps and he's hopping around kicking King Arthur!!") (Editorial Reviews)
