Yes, it's completely overrated. Life of Brian is far superior.

Soylent Green. The revelation of this movie doesn't make any sense; it seems the whole movie is set up for the revelation, including abandoning logic or realism for it.
GAH!Holy Grail is awesome!But I must admit I do prefer Life of Brian.
Agreed.

That's what happens to people who've never tried drugs
(I'm totally joking Lore...)

To be honest, I never really liked the ending of Holy Grail. It's patchy overall, but funny enough to get away with it. Brian is a far superior film.

At the risk of losing my geek status (actually I may have already done that...): I cannot follow or even stand The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen, or however it's spelled. It's supposed to be a "cult" fav, but I just don't get it...

I heartily agree.

Grail is OK...nowhere near as good as most of the rest though. Danlo's right...it's better after a fat spliff.
Life of Brian is my favourite Monty Python though.
As for von Munchausen...awful. Also historically the biggest movie flop ever (adjusted for inflation) IIRC.

Holy Grail is the only Python I've enjoyed.

I thought Wayne's World 2 was funny....I could have been biased by the gremlin limo and the Aerosmith cameo though....

Ok, so I'm banning Loremaster, Cail, dlbpharmd, Avatar, ... anyone else?
I don't know what you all are talking about. Holy Grail is my bible. I've literally seen that movie a hundred times, and laugh each time.
It was nice to know you all, but yes, I do have to ban you all now.-jay

You can't ban me, Jay. I'll take my 'This Day all Cods Die' Pic with me if you do!

Hey! I'm a Holy Grail fan! I'm one of the Knights who say "Ni!"

Hahaha!
Goddammit, I laugh EVERY single time I look at that picture.
It must be because I think the original book title is the best title ever, so by the transitive property, a joke of that title would have to be the funniest joke ever.
Ok, you can stay...for now.
Oh, and Ni!-jay

Oh, and I didn't mean to take anything away from the joke at all. Even without it being a pun of the best book title ever, it's still a damn funny joke.
Hahaha! Bah, there I go again.
I'm never going to be able to ban you.-jay
