I watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail yesterday for the first time. My thoughts on the movie:

You didn't love it? Why sir, I fart in your general direction!

 

It was just weird is all. :p 

 

There were a few scenes that stood out. The God scene I enjoyed. The coconut discussion at the beginning. The flesh wound. And the song about how he ran away and retreated from whatever that three-headed dude was. There were basically individual scenes that I enjoyed more than others, like a skit show.

 

The ending being a literal copout was weird and apparently John Cleese didn't like it and that they couldn't afford to finish the story.

Yeah it's an insanely quotable movie, and of course the influence of Monty Python is huge, but as a standalone film I guess it's not likely to be everyone's cup of tea. :p It was an absolute favorite as a kid, and I watched this and all of Flying Circus pretty regularly. I love absurdist humor. :daydream:
