Excalibur

An All Time Classic
Norrin - wrote on 11/11/13

Still the definitive motion picture regarding King Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin and company, this is also one of the best fantasy movies ever made. Great acting across the board (look for many future big stars like Liam Neeson, Helen Mirren, Gabriel Byrne and Patrick Stewart) along with a tour de force performance from the late, great Nichol Williamson as Merlin. John Boorman creates a stunning visual look to the movie and covers every important aspect of the Arthurian legends from the birth of Arthur through the quest for the holy grail. At all times Boorman shows utmost respect for the legend, but also delivers realistic violence and sex. Just an outstanding movie on every possible level and a true classic. Not to be missed by fans of historical epics or fantasy.
