Starring: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle
An instant cult classic, Monty Python and the Holy Grail helped define "irreverence." With the knights who say "Ni," non sequiturs, one-liners and plenty of slapstick silliness, the Python comedy clan skewers King Arthur and his knights on a quest for the Holy Grail. John Cleese stands out as the Black Knight, who suffers gory, slow dismemberment at the hands of the mighty king himself. Rabbits are a particular obsession of the writers.
