The Album Of The Soundtrack Of The Trailer Of The Film Of Monty Python And The Holy Grail [Original recording remastered] [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com essential recording
More than a soundtrack, this CD collects the best moments from the classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, many of which are just as funny to hear as to watch. The scene between King Arthur and the peasant, here titled "A Lesson in Anarcho-Syndicated Commune Living," is still hilarious long after its initial silver-screen appearance, as are "A Witch" and "The Bridge of Death." The CD also contains several segments that don't appear in the film but which contribute to the overall flow of the material. If this CD has any failing, it's that you don't get to have fun spotting the recurring scene of the woman smacking the cat against a wall. --Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews:

Rather Disappointing.......2005-09-08

I was very upset with this disc. I know that the bits from the movie are classic, but I was hoping to have more of the incidental music from the film, most notably the mock heroic theme that accompanies our "heroes" through their journey.

The additional material can be funny, but it is also extremely raunchy, more so than the actual film which is my faovrite Python film because it is the cleanest.

All in all, don't bother.

The Executive CD Edition of the Monty Python Soundtrack.......2005-06-02

There was an actual need for the "soundtrack" album to "Monty Python & The Holy Grail," which allowed us to help memorize key bits of dialogue while waiting for the movie to finally be released on DVD (which was worth the wait just to have the LEGO version of the "Camelot" song). Now, of course, this album can serve as a companion to the original Broadway cast album for "Spamalot," the current hit musical inflicted upon the masses by Eric Idle on behalf of the Pythons.

To be clear, this soundtrack includes much more than what you heard in the original film. After all, this is the Executive CD Edition, a fact that you are reminded of at both the beginning and the end of each "side." Then, before the movie actually "starts" you have a tour of the classic Silbury Hill Theater and a live broadcast from the premier of the film, including a narration of the film's opening and the "You're Using Coconuts" routine. Then they finally shut up and get to the bits from the film. My favorite remains "King Arthur and the 'Old Woman': Lesson in Anarcho-Syndicated Commune," which I tried without success to work into several papers in graduate school. The episode involving "A Witch" is followed by a "Lesson in Logic," which proves, unless you are using intuition, that just because a woman weighs as much as a duck does not prove she is a witch. Not everything is here, with the encounter with the Black Knight being the most obvious omission. But you do have the songs for "Camelot" and "The Tale of Sir Robin," and the almost song from the sequence regarding Sir Lancelot at Swamp Castle.

There are intrusions from the Python gang throughout the album, including a "Bomb Scare" and "A Shakespearean Critique" provoked by the appearance of Tim, the Enchanter. None of these are as good as the sarcastic French soldiers at the "Castle of Louis de Lombard," the instructions for the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch from Armaments, Chapter 2, Verses 9 to 21, for dealing with "A Foul-Tempered Rabbit," and the exchange at the "Bridge of Death" that inspired the message on my brother's answering machine. Fortunately, now I have my DVD of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and can watch what I want, when I want, without resorting to this audio version. However, I must commend this album for sounding like the movie and not for sounding like a movie on a record, which is what we were saddled with in the old days.

better to just rent the film.......2005-03-28

do love Monty Python and i do love Monty Python and the Holy Grail but there's only too much that i can take listening to this movie as a soundtrack...

i just remember going to camp with my classmates and having them repeat the dialog to this movie over and over all night long verbatim... and i thought... god... get a life...

but it's not to say that i don't like Monty because i did listen to this a few times and still got a few laughs...

i actually wish that they did more extra stuff on the soundtrack then just the dialog... because i can hear my dorky camp mates recite all the dialog or i can just rent the movie... but to have the movie being played with John Cleese giving a play by play sports commentary is priceless..

plus there are few new bits like Lesson in Logic and Story of the Film So Far that i really thought were funny...

the extra stuff on this album is not really worth the money so i say just rent or buy the film!

Long Live Monty Python.......2002-08-12

As laugh-out-loud funny as it's always been, this soundtrack is a must have for any Monty Python fans. With sound clips from some of the most hilarious points of the film, this album is guaranteed to make even the saddest man roll over in a fit of laughter. With tracks like "Castle Aaargh", it's a wonder more psychiatrists dont recommend this as a mild anti-depressant. Side effects may include split sides.

Better if it was limited to the Soundtrack.......2002-03-05

Indeed, when this recording first appeared as a vinyl record album, it was the only source for sound clips from the movie. Some of the more famous HOLY GRAIL bits are on this CD, but the recording is cluttered with other superfluous routines and supposedly funny commentary. This CD would be much better if it contained the whole movie soundtrack as Python fans need no explaination of what is going on at any given moment in the recording. If you buy this CD, be prepared to skip the unrelated comic bits to get to the pure GRAIL dialogue.
