Nearest location is 3,443 miles away. Tis but a stroll.

The good news here is you're much less likely to be injured, when some moistened bint lobs a scimitar at someone.

5,609 miles away for me!

6090 miles from here!

Is that by the way the swallow flys my good man?

I still laugh myself stupid when I watch it. But I don't know anyone under 40 that would find it funny. I can't quite wrap my brain around that.

I'm 31 and love it

You now know a 36yo who enjoys it. :)

I polled my kids. All of them down to the youngest (19) enjoyed Holy Grail a lot. My 24-year-old says his friends reference it in conversation regularly. We’re not totally out of touch yet!!

I'd suggest meeting more people

Very effective website. It already knew my location (yay surveillance) and would have made it very easy to buy tickets for a showing right down the street from my house.

Meh, just IP geotagging. The site thought I'm in Enumclaw, WA ("Renton is closest cinema? I'm not driving to Renton. Hey, wait a minute..."). Take a look at a map and you'll realize that's a bit of a hike from Redmond. Browser should block anything more precise with a permission dialog.

I'm in Wellington NZ, and this shows the closest screening to me is 5609 miles away in Hawaii.

No shows in Camelot? Outrageous

On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

I wanted to argue this, then thought it through.

The Leiden international Film Festival (my old hometown) actually played it a few weeks ago I believe. They showing was at the old natural history museum, wish I couldve gotten a ticket

The holy grail is a comedy masterpiece, right up until the ending. The ending was a disappointment.

There I said it. The holy grail has a bad ending.

It was a real cop-out.

The word "knight" was mispronounced in this movie.
