Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, 1975 (suom. "Monty Pythonin hullu maailma")

Comedy doesn't get much wilder and better than this... this comedy is for the witty out there. I've noticed the film is particularly appreciated among "nerds", and this is obvious... behind all the Pythonian absurdity there's a large amount of intelligent and philosophical jokes addressing e.g. idealistic differences between a monarchy and anarcho-syndicalism and if a carved inscription on the wall reading "Castle Aaaaaaarrrggghhh..." is a result of a man dying while carving the inscription. Monty Python's "Life of Brian" is generally very highly appreciated but for some reason I find it rather dull since its theme of attacking biblical themes doesn't really shock me in itself. But about every single scene in "The Holy Grail" is an immortal classic... and this is due to the wit and darkness of the humor, not due to them attacking any particular sacred subject.
