Having purchased the Monty Python box set from Amazon I couldn't wait for the legends of British comedy to arrive at my door. Luckily this wasn't too much of a wait because as always the purchase to door delivery service offered by Amazon is always one of speed!
Now I could review each film from start to finish in detail covering all the comedic genius of John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle etc... however this would be very unfair to the perspective buyer and take the enjoyment and thrill of owning such a fantastic collection of films away from you.
All I will say is the battle for the holy grail is a tough one, I now know the meaning of life, I without a doubt experienced something completely different and soon realised that he's not the messiah, oh no, he's a very naughty boy!
This box set contains the genius that created a blueprint for many of the comedy shows we see today and will always remain intelligent, classic British comedy at its very best!
WARNING: This collection may split your sides with laughter!

It would be useful to have at least a brief description of what's included, such as the names of the films! A brief plot summary of each, and your opinions on each one, would be helpful to people such as younger people who have only heard of Python but not actually seen the TV series or the films.
