Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Where would comedy be without Monty Python? Well, we wouldn't have had South Park, The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, Tim and Eric, Arrested Development, Saturday Night Live, Anchorman, The Office, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, Airplane!, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Invader Zim, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and every stupid internet meme ever made. That's quite a lot of things. To the troupe of bloaks who revolutionized comedy by not giving a single F about making sense, we are forever in your debt.

This brings us to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. One of the classic comedy movies of the 20th century every film lover must see before they die. You'll either get it, or you won't. You'll either laugh uproariously or scratch your head. Whatever you think of it, you can't argue that it represented an important moment in cinema, comedy, acting and the entire art of storytelling. The world was introduced to absurdism and this film crashes it down on you with it's bare feet.. *Python fans will understand that reference*. What you've got is the entire Monty Python gang dressed up in horrible medieval costumes, prancing about the countryside of England, making a farce of 6th century British history and loving every minute of it. The guerrilla nature of how they put this film together is a total inspiration. By today's standards, this film could have easily been made during a long weekend by a bunch of high school kids on their phones. Monty Python made it all possible. They taught us that jokes don't even necessarily have to be funny in order to be funny. If your sense of humor is as broad as mine, you will love it. If it isn't, you should see it just once and appreciate it if nothing else.
