    The only movie that is even close to this one is Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000.

        can't think of a single one, sorry. This is the single greatest comedy ever to have existed.

          Line for line, Holy Grail has got to be the funniest movie. Very clever and refreshingly original humor in almost every piece of dialogue.
          The closest contenders after Holy Grail IMO:

          • Blazing Saddles
          • The Big Lebowski
          • Raising Arizona
          • Dumb and Dumber
          • Hot Fuzz
          • Shaun of the Dead
          • The Princess Bride
          • Team America: World Police
            @OP shame on you for comparing Borat and Hangover to Holy Grail. Neither of those has any lasting appeal, the humor is mostly situational shock value (often more offensive than directly funny) and after one or two watches (if that) they become very stale. Holy Grail, if anything, gets stronger with more watches. Very few movies have that quality of humor/writing. I think all of the movies I listed above share that quality though.

            Thank you for that last part. I totally agree. And it's also about time someone mentions The Princess Bride.

              What is considered funny can vary a lot from one person to another.
              There are some very funny movies mentionned in this thread. Young Frankenstein is one that hasn't been mentionned yet.

                        I believe Holy Grail is the one with the funniest dialog and lines, and probably the best comedy overall.
                        Some other notable funny movies:
                        Airplane
                        Anchorman
                        South Park (movie)

                          In my opinion, the only movie I find to be even close to making me laugh as much as his movie is Anchorman.
                          Other than that, everything else falls short. (Though I do believe The Life Of Brian is brilliant as well).

                            There would be um .. ahah well there's no not really..perhapsnaw..not quite.
                            No this IS the funniest movie I've ever seen or expect to. Only Blazing Saddles is close enough to vie for the funniest ever. Holy Grail, when I saw it when it was new, was the only time I ever literally saw people fall down in the theater aisles rolling in laughter. It holds up over the years.
                            The next funnist films for me would be:
                            Duck Soup
                            Young Frankenstein
                            The Life of Brian
                            Animal House
                            [

                              I think this is one of the top but I would add 'Animal House' and I don't think anybody mentioned 'Airplane'.

                                    Funnier than this one?
                                    None.
                                    Saw it in the theatres on original release, and it still cracks me up today.
