(1975)Directed by Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam91 min · PGAdventure, Comedy, Fantasy

“And now! At Last! Another film completely different from some of the other films which aren't quite the same as this one is.”

King Arthur (Graham Chapman) rides across England with no horse, only a squire banging two coconut halves together behind him, and every knight he recruits for the Round Table has a longer title than the last. Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam, directing for the first time, let the quest pile up in the Black Knight's refusal to stop fighting after losing his limbs. Arthur keeps riding, the coconuts keep knocking, and the squire trudges after him through the mud.
