Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This is like the Bible of Cult Films. These men are geniuses! Honestly, who would've thought that such a great movie would come from such a low budget? An estimate from the Internet Movie Data Base was £229,575 which is only about $371 016.16, in today's dollar. That's a very small budget.

My favorite moments in this film are frequent. How does a person weigh the same as a duck? It doesn't, quite simply. Unless it's a very newborn baby and a very heavy duck. Also, the names of some of the characters. I mean, really. An enchanter named Tim? I love how they use coconuts as horses.

I don't think I need to say much more about this movie, because if I do I would just ruin the experience of the first time you see it. If you haven't seen it, DO SO! I highly recommend the special edition version so you can watch all the special features.
