Excalibur

The all-time greatest adaptation of 'King Arthur'. A dark fantasy titan with mythical aesthetics. I watched this 6 months ago and have non-stop thought of it ever since. So much so, I bought a Blu-ray exclusive. The cinematography, score, costumes, sets, casting, practicality, locations, editing, effects, dialogue, action, storytelling, and more all feel legendary. Technical things like lighting can change the entire atmosphere of a scene, and John Boorman proves it. People say it's aged poorly, but I have to disagree. Cinema in 1981 is almost inimitable today with decades between audiences, rules, technology, etc. The older it gets, the more fairytale-like the lore and fantasy feel. Can't believe that's Neeson, Mirren and Stewart.

Been a minute but great 80s, medieval, fantasy gold! If I remember correctly, a VERY YOUNG Liam Neeson.

This film holds a special place in my heart, probably because I watched it when I was way to young to! The fight scenes weren’t as good as I remember. Once they all ride out of Camelot to “O Fortuna”, it’s pure cinema! I’m still glad it will be in my collection forever.

Some cool medieval elements but it fell kind of flat imo and dragged on a bit too long, couldn’t get all the way through it.
