@@ForceMaximus84 Technically yes, but in my country for example it's been on tv always as full movie, around 3 hours long. They used to broadcast during christmas days between 2000 and 2010.
Still the best movie done about King Arthur and the sword, Excalibur. More credit needs to be given to Nigel Terry for the nuanced way he played Arthur as a teen, an adult and an older man. Lots of depth and emotion in his eyes. Some great acting by him and the rest of the cast, who many later became very successful actors. The set, locations, and tone were terrific. The music was outstanding. Scenes that were already good became great with the music enhancing it. Definitely a fave film of mine. I have an original poster framed having on my wall. 😎
Truly. It was cheesy and sometimes even silly, but nevertheless it was epic and wonderful. Almost like a stage-play, the way it was so hammy, but that actually worked. Unbelievable that to this day there still aren't any other good Arthurian movies. Several high-budget efforts, and Guy Ritchie's should have been good, but they are all useless. There could be some wonderful potential, like if HBO did a 10 part/hour miniseries with the kind of quality and gritty realism (plus 'realistic' magic) like they did with Game of Thrones.
@@c3bhm I was saying the same to my friend who hadn’t seen this epic film at first he kept saying ahh not a nerd film but I told him this movie inspires me to be king and be of joy with who I am and he ended up seeing the power this gem hold
You can't really go wrong with Richard Wagner. This film got me into Wagner. Watching the opening scenes with Siegfried's Funeral Music had all the hairs on the back of my neck standing up.
Too bad Hollywood today can't put any kind of thought into an Arthurian film the way Boorman did. Today; we're plagued by forced diversity, forced changes in character sexes, grunge rock soundtracks and so much more
@@sadlobster1 Ha. I'm reading your comment 3 years later and everything you've said has come true to a cartoonish degree. Look at Rings of Power, etc. Clown-world.
I watched this movie when I was little, I hardly remember anything, much less understanding the plot. Now I could understand and also appreciate this cult work.
Merlin and king arthur are my two favorite characters, they bond together like father and son. Merlin was the teacher and Arthur was the student learning wisdom from him.
Remember seeing Excalibur in 1981 aged 18 and not knowing whether I liked or hated it. Forty years on, I categorically love it. And so much better than the 'realistic' take on King Arthur in 2004 - even sorry I mentioned that turkey. Excalibur 1981 is trippy, weird and embraces the lunacy of the original medieval legends.
Curious to see how this movie would be received today. When it was new, it was regarded as a disappointment, too dark and violent. But it does have that early 1980s magic to it. I haven't seen it in ages, so I couldn't say either way.
There have other movies about Camelot and The Knights of the Round Table, but I believe "Excalibur" is truly the best. Nigel Terry was the greatest King Arthur and Nicol Williamson was the coolest Merlin.
Man.....I had this on VHS and wore it out. The best king Arthur movie by far. There is nothing close to it. ( I guess that mini series Merlin was a close 2nd ).
By far the best drama made about King Arthur. The best King Arthur movie of all time is of course Monty Python’s Holy Grail. 😂 The movie is known as the Boorman family project as it was directed by John Boorman, has two of his children in it, and was filmed not too far from where Boorman lived in Ireland. The only flaw is it’s a bit too long at 2:20, but it’s so well made you really don’t notice.
Thanks very much and keep posting. I am the reincarnation of One of the kings who formed the legendary King Arthur And I am also the reincarnation of Presidents Kennedy and Lincoln.
Green Arrow I recently saw King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword and it really isn't as bad as critics said it was. I don't really trust rotten tomatoes. I make up my own mind about movies.
@@Wolfsheim23 Agreed, Wolven; compared to Excalibur, Legend of the Sword was garbage in a number of ways. The ironic thing is...this film, one made in the 80's, stands the test of time far better than LotS. With LotS, everything feels forced and dated
A very interesting film, kind of bonkers, an awful lot of shouting the set designs are very striking and different, the armour here is very shiny and medival. I liked the older versions of the characters too. You get a real sense of magic and spectacle. The 2004 King Arthur is worth seeing for cotrast going for a much more gritty earthy take with worn and faded costumes dark colours, a late roman setting and none of the magic or supernatural elements. Merlin is just a druid leader not an actual wizard, no Morgana either, no Modred.
0:31- I can see why audiences flocked to this...because the trailer is awesome. 1:13- And the movie is quotable as Hell. 2:19- For some reason, I also wanna watch Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical aquatic ceremony! You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!! I mean, if I went 'round, saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
Well that’s how it works in at least several anime I knew growing up, but at least the “king” proved himself with Combat skills, not because he had the sword
@@TheMcGrath2001 I think the OP is mainly talking about the trailer and the old voice overs. I could be wrong. The movie though is still EPIC and holds up to this day. It's one of my favorites. I actually have a replica of that Excalibur hanging on my wall in my house.
Imagine if they remade this now? A black lesbian King Arthur, climate change the cause of destruction of the kingdom and an English Utopia with open borders to Sudan.
Everyone's love for this pos movie is the absolute worst case of nostalgia goggles I've ever see

Yes of course, ı love fantastic realms and worlds,ı like Merlinand goblins,elves,fairies and flyin' dragons in blood red skies, ı feel myself as a knight sometimes, but a knight as a defender of the peace and love. Perhaps ı's a templar in one of my previous reincarnation lives searching for the holy grail in the anicent remnants of Jerusalem underbeneath the deep dark corriodors.And perhaps ı had seen once the shining mighty sword of The King Arthur while butchering and slaughtering some young teenager lives, perhaps ı had seen king Richard the lion heart while riding his white horse for a new crusade to the far east.I understand the nobility,ı can sense the fearness,proud,dignity,royalty,heroism and victory. But on the other hand what do we have at the end of the day? So many lost innocent young lives,some new lands and territories,colonies to exploid that sooner or later most likely we will give back to their real owners,the indiginous people and so loose. One land but no king.There is no sort of sword in this world which is sharper and more powerful than love including Excalibur, the real Excalibur is love,peace and harmony, brotherhood,sisterhood, noone is our enemy, we don't have no rivals,foes, we shoudn't have normally. Wherever we go it's our land, it's the god's land. Whoever we meet in the far dinstance he is still our brother or she's still our sister. We don't need swords,wepaons,guns, killer machines,nuclear bombs,nuclear reactors so on and so forth dear grandma, enough war,enough violence,enough blood.🌍
The more you watch this movie the more you will appreciate it. A true masterpiece .
I can’t count the times. Simply the best.
Una joya!
Probably the best King Arthur movie ever made.
In my eyes, yes
In everyone's eye, I'm afraid.
In everyone's eye, I'm afraid.
No probably about it 😁👍🏻
By far the best.
My favourite film. Pure energy and exhilarating fantasy. Nicol Williamson was the best ever Merlin.
Andrew de Mowbray i totally agree! He was absolutely electric!
there has never been anyone who got close. Not just the best merlin, the best wizard
GOTTA lOVE all the Shakespeain YELLING
It's also Zack Snyder's favorite film.
Which basket we using? And what we going to do with the fences 😭
The only King Arthur movie you’ll ever need!
HUZZAH!
merlin 1998 is better
Tristano Pavon Cespedes Wasn’t that a miniseries?
@@ForceMaximus84 Technically yes, but in my country for example it's been on tv always as full movie, around 3 hours long. They used to broadcast during christmas days between 2000 and 2010.

That's one of the best films from the 80's.
Not really, you should watch transformers the movie. 1986
I LOVE this movie.
The cinematography was way before its time. And was spectacular..
A true GEM ! A movie as good as this will never be made again
the best King Arthur movie EVER made nothing comes remotely close
What about 2004?
@user-pq4fc1mc7q I don't follow. Could you elaborate?
Probably the best trailer for a movie ever. Carmina Burana and everything fits so well. The film is a work of wonder too
RELEASE THIS ON 4K PLEASE!
Yes but no as it’s grain gives it a power of magic but I would love to own in 4K tooo ahhh
I got it on vhs till then
I just can't believe how good this film actually is! It really does hold up!

The 40th anniversary this month. Still impressive and epic!
greatest trailer ever made? i know o fortuna was used in the music itself to great effect, but this is just brilliantly composed
my favorite movie of all time. i continue to watch again and again. nothing like it. what a fantastic feat of filmmaking.
I saw this in the theater when I was a kid. Massively underrated gem
If you haven't seen this movie yet ...... You don't know what you missing
I watched this movie when I was little, I hardly remember anything, much less understanding the plot. Now I could understand and also appreciate this cult work.
I just found this trailer, and now must watch the epic movie that goes with it
Liam, even back then, had a particular set of skills
Merlin and king arthur are my two favorite characters, they bond together like father and son. Merlin was the teacher and Arthur was the student learning wisdom from him.
Excalibur & The Green Knight. The two best Arthurian lore based movies as of yet.
The Green Knight was disappointing... to be honest

A great idea, theaters today should re-release this movie to the public; without altering anything, of course
It's magic. The visuals are brilliant. They are a relief in a cgi age.
It's seen as a masterpiece now.
It was always a masterpiece. Epic movie. Legendary.
I’m in college now but my dad showed me this movie around high school. It’s one of my favorite of all time.
There have other movies about Camelot and The Knights of the Round Table, but I believe "Excalibur" is truly the best. Nigel Terry was the greatest King Arthur and Nicol Williamson was the coolest Merlin.
One of my All Time Favorites!!!
5 star movie. Top notch!
One land, one king!!!!
40 years ago.
The best cinematic retelling of the arthurian legend ever.
#MedievalEpic⚔🛡✨
"The future has taken root in the present..." I see what you did there, Snyder.
Also the line where Bruce Wayne says big round table at the end of justice league. I think it’s a nod to this. Snyder really loves this film
Man.....I had this on VHS and wore it out. The best king Arthur movie by far. There is nothing close to it. ( I guess that mini series Merlin was a close 2nd ).

Need a 4K disc of this.
Absolutely.
Yes but the grain is magic but yes 4K or a movie theater re-release in 4k :.) ahhhh!!!
@@protoman2134 the old blu-ray doesn’t do justice to the movie. This begs for a proper remaster.
Helen Mirren, Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne, Patrick Stewart and Ciaran Hinds 40+ years ago? Just wow 🙌
The best there ever was and will be
Absolutely epic film. Attention to detail here is incredible.
The best Arthur movie.
Merlin come back in dream to say: release the digital copy!!
Merlin told me to torrent it
“Any man who would be a knight and follow a king... follow me!” From boy to king instantly
I could watch this movie once a week..
Good moive,, I'm living it..buddy!!!
I love Nicol Williamson!
Maravillosa. La mejor película sobre la leyenda Artúrica. Carmina Burana la hace aún más espectacular.
And Wagner's exceptional music as well👍
Beautiful film. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.
