14 of 1001 Monty Python and the Holy Grail

This film changed my life literally.

Growing up in Colorado I had never heard of something called British Comedy. So my parents sat me down and made me watch old episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus. It wasn't until I was in High School when some of the upperclassmen in my classes would go around clapping their hands and pretending to be on a horse. I remember asking them what they were doing and they had this look that said "you need to go see this film."

So I went to the local store and rented this gem.

This film is still a classic today. It's Monty Python in their finest. The premise is King Arthur and his Knights of the Roundtable must find the Holy Grail. Along the way they meet some interesting characters, Knights who say "Nit", as well as a diabolical vampiric bunny, and something called a Holy Hand Grenade.

Even though this film came out in 1975 it's still a classic to this day.
