Everyone likes jokes about the government but what is better is when those jokes are made in a time period when that government didn't even exist. My favorite movie that involves that is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Whether accurate or not that movie makes you laugh. From galloping coconuts, to Trojan horses, to deadly rabbits and the Knights Who Say Niiii, you can't quit laughing. Shot on a shoestring budget, comes great sets, great colors and again great laughs. Following King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table through pitfalls, promiscuous favors, annoying musicians, and witches.
When God says to go after the Holy Grail, you go after it. Even if you have to go over a dangerous bridge and find a shrubbery (Gasp). If you can sword fight without any limbs go for it, but if your opponents leave, don't curse at them. Also the more you try to explain something, the more confusing your simple instructions turn out to be. And it IS okay to sing, just don't sing about Camelot, or else no one will want to go there. Or maybe it's because Camelot was "only a model." Either way this was a great way for Monty Python to bring themselves to the masses. Way to go!
Also if you can watch the musical version called Spamelot.
