Advantages: 3 Movies!!!! All Great!
Disadvantages: Too Heavy

...witty, stupid, crazy comedy of monty python's brain. Each movie revolves mainly around the same group of famous british actors and are now very well known to the public and to everyobody really. There are extras in the movies as well which is very good, such as cuts, behind the scenes and more. The movie is also digitally enhanced abit so the movie is more bearable visually for people who cannot stand older films. Very good film! Must get now! ... Read review

Advantages: A hilariously funny film
Disadvantages: Some might still find it offensive

...first time I ever saw Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) was when Channel 4 showed it as part of their banned season when I was at school (it would have been late 80s/early 90s). I sneaked a video tape in to the machine to record it as coming from a very Christian family I didn't want to upset anyone but I really wanted to see what all the fuss was about and if this film really did contain all the blasphemous content that had earned it a ban. Imagine ...
...Unlike their previous film Monty Python and The Holy Grail where each of the main characters has a section of the film to themselves, this film follows events and scenes which either include or directly involve Brian and it is this focus on the central character that stops this film from becoming a series of silly/funny episodes. The scenes and scenarios are beautifully crafted with the majority of the humour coming from exaggerations of everyday ... Read review

Advantages: no brainer, just pure fun
Disadvantages: none

What is the air speed velocity of an un-laden swallow? This is just one of many life changing questions that are answered in this rediculously funny film. Does it make any sense, whatsoever? well, no, but neither does anything that the pythons have done. Written and performed by the pythons way back in 1975, this is a take on camelot, and the knights of the round table. If they need introducing, the pythons are Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry ...
...happen to be some of the funniest men ever to have graced the earth. The plot can only be described loosely, as there isn't really one. But i'll do my best. Arthur, king of the britains, is visited by god, who sends him on a quest, to find the holy grail. On the way, arthur rounds up some knights to help him. he meets up with Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Galahad the Pure (also called "the Chaste"), and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot. ...

Advantages: Will make you cry laughing
Disadvantages: May offend some people

...the comic genious of the monty python team. Lines such as "He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy" and "welease wodger" have become instantly recognisable catchphrases associated with the film. What i love about this film is that everyone who has seen it has an opinion on it and that there are so many talking points and funny moments in the film it would be difficult for people to agree on the funniest or best part of the film. All in all ...
...watch (at least once). The next paragraph has been added days after writing my original review. ***This was my first effort at a Ciao review and although it is completeley rubbish and i have had bad ratings (including a harsh off topic) I am not going to update or improve it in any way. I will use this as a bench mark for my efforts. If people think this is somewhat helpful then so be it. Hopefully my reviews will improve as time goes on*** PS. ... Read review

Advantages: Hilarious, great extras, funny everytime you watch it
Disadvantages: Nothing!

I have loved Monty Python since seeing Monty Python's flying circus years ago, so when I saw this collector's edition dvd box set of 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' for sale in HMV I couldn't resist buying it. (and I love it even more now that Michael Palin was an honorary graduate at my graduation and I stood about five feet away from him! He also did his Knights of Ni impression) The collector's edition dvd set comes in a cardboard casing which ...
...this film. All of the Monty Python cast are hilarious. It is not a serious film in the slightest and I find it very easy watching. There are also some songs throughout the film which are really well written with silly lyrics and catchy tunes. My favourite bit in the film is when all of the knights pretend to be riding along on their horses whilst their servants make horse noises with coconuts. It's so ridiculous. On disc 2 there are five extra ... Read review
