This classic Monty Python comedy, directed by Pythons Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, is a hilarious send-up of the grim circumstances of the Middle Ages as told through the story of King Arthur and framed by a modern-day murder investigation. When the mythical king of the Britons leads his knights on a quest for the Holy Grail, they face a wide array of horrors, including a persistent Black Knight, a three-headed giant, a cadre of shrubbery-challenged knights, the perilous Castle Anthrax, a killer rabbit, a house of virgins, and a handful of rude Frenchmen. In addition to the set pieces, the film also includes the same kind of surreal animation that Gilliam contributed to the television series. Throughout the irreverent adventures, the Python crew eschews realism in favor of anachronistic social satire, a recipe it later returned to in the 1979 biblical farce MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN. Melding the ridiculous with the sublime, the film quickly inspired a cult following, generated a host of quotes, and even inspired a computer game 20 years after its release. The numerous songs and hysterical vignettes are sidesplittingly unforgettable.

"...A marvelously particular kind of lunatic endeavor....The gags are nonstop..." -- Vincent Canby , (New York Times)

"...One of the funniest films ever made..." -- Ty Burr , (Entertainment Weekly)

"...This King Arthur spoof is the final comic word on the legend..." -- Mike Clark , (USA Today)

"[A]mid all the silliness...the dialogue is often surprisingly erudite." -- Premiere Staff , (Premiere)

"[A] strong showcase for the Pythons' versatility as performers....Rich in laughs and lunatic invention -- Matthew Leyland , (Sight and Sound)

I had never heard of J&R music and computer world, but I'm glad I know about them now. I purchased a Cooler Master CM Storm Trooper computer case from them for less than any other retailer offered. I also was able to find a $5 coupon for my order which was applied with no problem on top of the great price. The shipping process was great, my order came undamaged in pristine condition and I also got free shipping on something that weighs over 30 lbs! The item on the product page appeared as sold out a day after I ordered and was curious if I had placed my order in time the night before. When I called their customer service department the woman I spoke to was courteous and quickly informed me that a unit had been allocated for me and would be shipped out later that day. My experience with J&R Music and Computer World was a positive one and would definitely order from them again.
