King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his servant Patsy (Terry Gilliam) encounter The Black Knight (John Cleese)

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The movie was created on a shoestring budget by British comedy troupe Monty Python: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin.

It’s now considered one of the greatest comedy films of all time, and it has inspired generations of comedians. To celebrate, NPR wants to know the impact Monty Python and the Holy Grail has had on you.
