I don't have any DVD of this so may get it

Worth seeing definitely but I liked Holy Grail better.

never been a big fan of the Pythons,this movie has some laughs but is no classic imo.be interesting to see the blu-ray transfer,as this movie has never looked great on home video.

Ta Grim. Might get it, the Criterion has always looked crusty judging from the DVDbeaver comparison.

I found a 2 disc SE "The Immaculate Edition" on Play, is it the same as the R1 SE?

Ported extras! Maybe they will use the improved transfer from the previous R2 DVD.

I have the Criterion already, but im not complaining I got it for cheap at CD-wow.

I much prefer this to the holy grail which is great too but is more random.

Isnt the transfer (of LOB) remastered on this one?
