Stam Fine Reviews pulls out John Boorman’s 1981 film Excalibur from the library, though it wasn’t that hard to do. It’s a brilliant, if flawed film. However, I can’t for the life of me think of a better film about King Arthur, at least one that I would rate ahead of Excalibur.
It’s the story of King Arthur’s birth; him pulling out the sword of power and becoming king; the love triangle between himself, Guinevere, and Lancelot; his sister Morgana and their son Mordred; and of the search for the Holy Grail.
Stars Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren, Nichol Williamson, Patrick Stewart, Gabrielle Byrne, Liam Neeson, Cherie Lunghi, Nicolas Clay, Ciaran Hinds, Paul Geoffrey.
