King Arthur, accompanied by his squire, recruits his Knights of the Round Table, including Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot and Sir Galahad the Pure. On the way, Arthur battles the Black Knight who, despite having had all his limbs chopped off, insists he can still fight. They reach Camelot, but Arthur decides not to enter, as "it is a silly place".

    The grim reality of the dark middle ages, but make it hilarious. Is it the perfect movie? No. Is it absurd? Yes. Do i use the phrase "TIS BUT A FLESH WOUND" more than I should? Also yes. It's not a question of should you see it, but WHY haven't you seen it already. And if you have...what's your favorite line to quote?

    So funny and clever. I don’t know why but hearing the different types of UK accents cracks me up.

    Pardon my recalcitrance! But is this film 'Scary Movie' of old people? If yes, then Marlin's Beard.

    Delicious humour, but the pace slows down a bit here and there. Still, ‘Brian’ is the best.

    God the comedy is so so good I was laughing so hard. Like it's so smart and silly with all the skits and jokes I love it. Shout out to the teacher in middle school who would show us clips of this all the time but refused to show the full thing.

    This movie is legendary, from the dozen quotable lines, and an extra half a dozen quotable scenes. This is the peak of British humor! However it feels like they used up all of the best lines in the first half of the film, and forgot that they were writing for a movie and not a show. The film’s second half drags on, and makes you wonder what’s happening. Then ends suddenly.

    An all time favorite. When I discovered that my mother had never seen it, concluded--along with my sister--that there were likely whole years of the 70s and 80s that she couldn't have possibly understood what we were laughing about without having watched the movie. And we then began reciting, word for word, whole passages from it. Most Gen xers can do the same.
