Summary: My absolute favorite movie EVER!
Comment: For mindless entertainment I love to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There is no rhyme or reason to the movie, just a bunch of people doing stupid stuff and making it hilarious. There's no need for neverending flatulance jokes (which is overplayed in almost every comedy of today) or a need to make fun of different races and cultures just to get a cheap laugh. What it is is pure stupidity that makes you practically wet yourself when you watch it. I couldn't tell you how many times I have watched this movie and laugh hysterically every time (as if it's the first time I'm seeing it and hearing the jokes). This movie is perfect for those who feel like today's comedy's are overdone. It's full of fresh comedy (which no one since has even tried to copy) and doesn't bore you with repetitiveness
This movie, however, is NOT for everyone. ESPECIALLY OVERANALYZERS!! You need to watch the movie for what it is.....a silly comedy. There is no need to analyze why there's coconuts and no horses or why a woman is getting weighed. If you want something to ananlyze watch a documentary or a serious movie and go to a coffee shop afterwards to swap notes. Don't do it while watching the movie and definitely DON'T WATCH THIS ONE!

Summary: I got the Special Edition vs. the "foo foo" version ...
Comment: Listening to previous reviewers here on Amazon, I ordered only the "special edition" vs. the "foo foo" version that came with the book and other thing.
I'm glad I did.
The quality is fine, and it's so wonderful to be whisked away into Python-land once again!
I still remember the dialog word for word - my fellow "Rhebo's" from HCHS would be proud ... !
Python is silly and irreverent, which makes it such a nice aside from the "dumbness" of reality TV. Makes me want to keep it loaded in the DVD player so on a moment's notice I can escape the ridiculosity of now into the silly of then.
If you're thinking of getting it, just do it. You'll be glad you did when it's been discontinued and you DO have your copy ... !

Summary: Great movie, all sorts of extras
Comment: Holy Grail is a classic and a must-own. This version has good video and audio quality. I haven't watched the extras yet, but there is all sorts of good stuff for DVD-extra-junkies.
