Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a 1975 comedy that is often referred to as one of the greatest comedies of all time. It was written, directed, and stars the same British comedy group behind the Monty Python's Flying Circus show. The movie is a parody of the famous story of King Arthur's quest for the holy grail.
This movie is hilarious and constantly making fun of something from medieval lifestyle to the film's low budget in real life. This film does not take itself seriously as there is multiple fourth wall breaks like the movie stopping when the police stepped in and the countless comedic exchanges like the black knight's sword fight. The film's low budget just adds so much to it's humor as they make it so obvious they had a low budget from the fourth wall breaks making fun of the cheap and reused sets and characters, to the fact that they couldn't afford horses so they had to use someone clapping coconuts together to emulate the sound of a horse. Despite the film trying to adapt the story of the holy grail, it quickly dismisses that goal as the characters just end up not wanting to find it in the start of the movie and spend the rest of the movie doing their own thing.
I rate this film a 5 star as is it hilarious and one of my favorite comedies ever made. The emphasis on it's low budget and it's fourth wall breaks make the film so memorable.
