The path to the Grail takes Arthur and crew through a very determined knight, a particular cave troll, and many knights who say “Ni.” After deciding that Camelot is a silly place, Arthur and his legendary knights of the round table accept a quest from God to go seek the Holy Grail. Monty Python and the Holy Grailfinds the boys telling the story of King Arthur in their own, peculiar way. But T he Holy Grail really may be Monty Python’s masterpiece…and Holy Grail. Legendary British comedy troupe Monty Python is not a lacking in masterpieces. Life of Brian has a lot to say about religious dogma and just happens to be completely hilarious in the process. The Life of Brian tells the story of Biblical era Jewish man named Brian (Chapman), who just happens to be born on the same day as Jesus and is mistaken for the Messiah. Monty Python’s Life of Brian is a religious satire written and starring every member of the Monty Python comedy troupe (John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin). Monty Python‘s film offerings are always a good time and Life of Brian may be the best one. It has a ton of heart and in a perverse way captures the joy of movie making. Zack and Miri Make a Porno is probably writer/director Kevin Smith’s best post Jay and Silent Bob era works. That something is to produce a porno in the coffee shop that Zack works at. After attending their high school reunion they realize they’re sick of their paycheck-to-paycheck lives and decide to do something about it. Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are childhood friends living together in Pittsburgh. Rarely are movie titles more descriptive than “Zack and Miri Make a Porno.” Take a quick guess what it’s about! It’s also a very funny film, thanks to its cast of mostly bit players who are granted an opportunity to shine. Ibizais a largely conventional story of throwing risk to the win in pursuit of a life-well lived. There Harper reluctantly falls in love with a DJ (Game of Thrones’ sexiest Stark Richard Madden). While there Leah and Nikki (mostly Leah) convince her to ditch work and fly to Ibiza. Gillian Jacobs (Britta on Community, Gary Marshall’s wife on Comedy Bang! Bang!) stars as Harper, who brings her two best friends Nikki (Vanessa Bayer), and Leah (Phoebe Robinson) on her work trip to Barcelona. Ibiza is your classic “woman flies to Barcelona for a work event and then decides to divert her path to the island Ibiza to fall in love with The King in the North” romantic comedy. What if The Omen were a comedy? Adam Scott stars as a man named Gary who loves his new wife Samantha (Evangeline Lily). The premise is just so killer that you can’t conceive of why it’s taken so long to get here. Little Evil is one of the original movies that Netflix seems to excel at identifying and picking up. Don’t Think Twice is both funny and an uncomfortably realistic saga about the limitations of dreams. It features an amazing cast that includes Gillian Jacobs, Keegan Michael-Key and about a half-dozen other “hey, I know that actor(s).” It’s about members of a comedy troupe who are all vying or have vied for an appearance on an SNL-like comedy show. Don’t Think Twice is the second film from stand-up comedian and filmmaker Mike Birbiglia. Don’t Think Twice is one of the great exceptions. Still we don’t get enough movies about the inner-workings of comedy as a profession and an industry as we deserve. Our culture’s appetite for comedy has never been more voracious. But anyway, here is our list of the best comedy movies on Netflix.
