Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

The film begins out with Arthur, King of the Britons, finding knights to live with him at Camelot. He meets many knights such as Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the silence Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. They do not nomading on horses, but pretend they do and have their servants bang coconuts to make the sound of horse's hooves. Through satire of certain performs in history (witch trials, the black plague) they meet Camelot, but after literally a fast song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to seek the Holy Grail.




They agree and start their seeking. While they seek for the Grail, scenes of the knight's stories appear and why they have the name they have. Throughout their search they meet interesting people and knights along the way. Most of the characters passaway; some through a killer rabbit (which they defeat with the holy hand grenade), others from not answering an ask right from the bridge of Death, or passaway some other ridiculous way. In the end, King Arthur and Sir Bedevere are left and meet the Castle Arrrghhh where the Holy Grail is.
