IMHO, the second funniest movie in the history of cinema is Monty Python And The Holy Grail. (The first is Blazing Saddles. As Gene Wilder said in the film, what is a dazzling urbanite like you doing in a rustic setting like this? It's a question I have sometimes asked myself in the mirror since landing in STL.) Anyway, in one of Holy Grail's most famous scenes, King Arthur and his knights have been denied access to a French castle. They devise a trick to gain entrance. It is a variation on The Iliad's Trojan horse, but this one is a rabbit. The results are disastrous. At the Renaissance Faire its only purpose was amusement. I wonder how many people get the reference these days.

j'adore (une superbe version du celebre cheval), une bonne note d'humour
Now I'm going to have to watch them again.
(I have no clue what that bird is.)
I am glad somebody else rates Blazing Saddles as highly as I do because thus far everybody has argued with me about it. You know....Morons. ;)
For Narnia!!!!!
I love that movies and I would like to watch a Trojan rabbit at work...
I'm with you Bob, Blazing Saddles and Monty Python and the Holy grail are two of the funniest movies EVER! I also like Young Frankenstein and Raising Arizona. There should be a little film festival somewhere where people could watch these films - a summer night on a lawn, popcorn, lemonade - sharing guffaws and knowing snickers with like-minded fans.
Mel Brooks is a genius. As is Woody Allen.
"Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!"
I love that movie.
Classic! and totally hilarious, thanks for that Bob!
Love the photo and those movies as well. I have them both...and watch them from time to time; never tire!
Great Trojan rabbit ! Definitely worth a shot.
