Not all, though. Some are really odd or just not so great. [/ QUOTE ] definetly. I went on a few dates a few years back with a girl that had lived in birmingham, and well, yea, I just wanted to shove a sock in her mouth so I wouldn't have to listen to her voice |

Re: Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Monthly Movie Marathon
<u>This</u> is a funny movie. I laughed from the 'Swedish' subtitled credits right through till the end. And when I say end, I mean after the music and blackness have both stopped and the realization hits me that it's over and that they actually chose to end it like that (or maybe they finally did run out of money).
The total absurdity of Python is magic. |

Re: Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Monthly Movie Marathon
The "Help help, I'm being repressed" scene is easily in my top five scenes in a comedy. I remember watching this when I was 14 or so. I had never heard of the movie before in my life, and it was on PBS. You can only imagine what watching it totally cold was like.

Re: Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Monthly Movie Marathon
My favorite, from Life of Brian:
Crucifixion? Ah, no. Freedom. What? Eh, freedom for me. They said I hadn't done anything, so I could go free and live on an island somewhere. Oh. Oh, well, that's jolly good. Well, off you go, then. Naa, I'm only pulling your leg. It's crucifixion, really. |

Classic.
But, does the ending make sense in any way? |

In the end they rounded up the whole crew and shut down the filming. It was a sad day in the history of Britain in that King Arthur was arrested for complicity. |

Re: Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Monthly Movie Marathon
um... you want me to explain Monty Python? It was a series of skits based on a common theme committed to film in a nudge nudge wink wink sort of fashion whereby the audience is part of the joke. There were severe budget restraints that precluded the use of actual horses in the horse scenes, it was made clear that Camelot was not an actual castle and evidentally the film ran out when the money ran out. There was enough left for the sound track to go on for another minute or so but then there wasn't even enough money to even say 'The End' so I'll say it for them. The End.

Re: Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Monthly Movie Marathon
I had never heard they had budget problems, I just figured the horses part was a joke, as was the Camelot part.
