Monty Python - The Beatles of Comedy
"Bring out your dead!" Monty Python and the Holy Grail will go down in my personal history, as my favorite comedy of all-time. I doubt very seriously if it will ever be topped, though Caddyshack is a close second. I can think of no other film that I can recite verbadum -- much to the dismay of my family. Fortunately a love for all things Python has been passed on to my son, so Monty Python will live on for generations to come in the Smythe household.
Most likely, my facination with Monty Python orginated during my formative years when "The Holy Grail" was first released in theaters. I had not heard much about this comedy troupe from the UK before. After seeing "The Holy Grail" I began to seek out everything I could about Monty Python including watching each and every episode of "Monty Python and The Flying Circus".
For my generation, there were two entertainment events that made a life long impact. "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" in 1975 and "Star Wars" in 1977. Ask anyone who was a teenager during that period of time and you will hear much agreement.
This fan lens is my way of sharing my love for Python with you. I certainly hope you enjoy it. I've still got a lot to do so come back and check it out often. Now, go find me a shrubery, one with a nice path...
