Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Is this the most well known comedy film of all time? It's at least the most looked-up-to. Unfortunately, for every good, solid laugh, there's an uncomfortable scene. Think of the three headed man, or the killer rabbit. Laugh, and then think of the "bring out your dead" scene or the old lady who has "ni" said to her.

All in all, it's quite a funny movie, I won't deny anyone the ability to say that about it. But, it does work better as a series of remembered scenes, when you've seen it and filtered out all the buffer material.
