Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Monthly Movie Marathon

[diebitter]

I let my 11 year-old son watch this tonight, though I insisted on skipping the castle Anthrax bit. Too much to explain to him in that little scene.

He laughed his head off. Loved it. Though I still got one awkward question: 'Dad, what does it mean to have your "nostrils raped"?'

Definitely the most quotable comedy I know of.

The scene where the nights cross the bridge and have to answer the three questions truthfully is comedic genius.

Look, strange women lying on their backs in ponds handing out swords ... that's no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I think this is quite possibly the funniest line from any movie, ever.

You can't expect to wield SUPREME executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you! If I went 'round, saying I was emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
