STORYLINE
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) is a satirical take on the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The film follows Arthur and his knights as they embark on a hilarious and absurd quest to find the Holy Grail. Along the way, they encounter a series of bizarre and comical obstacles, including killer rabbits, the Knights who say "Ni," and a taunting French castle guard. The film's unique blend of slapstick, surreal humor, and witty dialogue has made it a beloved classic in the comedy genre.
