The Best King Arthur Movie ?

There is no equal.

Hands down.

Excalibur is a 1981 American epic medieval fantasy film directed, produced, and co-written by John Boorman that retells the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, based on the 15th-century Arthurian romance Le Morte d’Arthur by Thomas Malory. It stars Nigel Terry as Arthur, Nicol Williamson as Merlin, Nicholas Clay as Lancelot, Cherie Lunghi as Guenevere, Helen Mirren as Morgana, Liam Neeson as Gawain, Gabriel Byrne as Uther Pendragon, Corin Redgrave as Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall, and Patrick Stewart as Leondegrance. The film is named after the legendary sword of King Arthur that features prominently in Arthurian literature. The film’s soundtrack features the music of Richard Wagner and Carl Orff, along with an original score by Trevor Jones.

Yeah, I’d say Excalibur too.

It should’ve been a trilogy though as it always felt too condensed even as a kid. It could’ve been our R rated Star Wars. Same with Conan the Barbarian but Milius left Conan cause he was burned out but I think he was riding high on his success at the time in part as well .

Spot on there! I love what Oliver Stone said of Conan saying it should have been like Bond Arnold coming back every few years to reprise the role! Ah the possibilities!

I preferred Gabriel Byrne’s Uther to Nigel’s weakling Arthur . I thought Byrne stole the movie but was hardly in it,lol. Has the best line too, “Nobody shall wield Excalibur but ME! “
