Because King Arthur wants to build a table of some of the greatest knights in the world, the king decides that he has to search around the land, trying to find the bravest, mightiest knights around. After finding a good handful of these knights, King Arthur leads them on an incredible quest to find the Holy Grail. On the quest, they are faced with challenges left and right, including a strange castle, a magical guard, a deadly rabbit, a mighty three-headed giant, rude Frenchmen, and so much more as they attempt to discover a prize that might not truly exist. 
 Even though Monty Python and the Holy Grail came out over forty years ago, most of the movie is not outdated and is still hilarious. Although certain aspects of the movie, like certain movie quotes and the actual concept, it is actually quite a tremendous feat for the movie to be able to be appreciated in this modern day and age. The dialogue between the characters is extremely ironic and so are the characters' actions, which makes the movie quite clever and substantially more interesting.
