The thing that makes Excalibur special is that its really the only film version of the King Arthur story that actually took the medieval legends seriously, rape and incest included, and to present the entire legend in a single movie. No other version has even dared to attempt that.

"the only film version of the King Arthur story that actually took the medieval legends seriously" _Perceval le Gallois_ (1978) took it way, way more seriously. It's far more literal in its Medievalism than _Excalibur_ . I still like _Excalibur_ best.

I've always said Nicol Williamson's turn as Merlin is one of the greatest acting performances of all time. Just his voice alone is absolutely perfect for the role. Doesn't hurt that nearly every line he has is completely epic. ""Family, hearth and home. They are not for you, Uther:" "What is for me? To kill and be king? Is that all?" "Maybe not even that." "Your words are like knives, Merlin." "You killed the Duke, you stole his wife, you took his castle. Now, nobody trusts you."-----

I never noticed as a kid, but watching it as a grown up, I learned that there was even more to that scene; Percival saying to Arthur "You and the land are one! Drink and you shall be reborn and the land with you!" wasn't just a cool-sounding line, it was the culmination of the narrative. It was foretold by Merlin in Arthur's youth, it was the secret Arthur had lost and was thus the 'Test' for the Knights of the Grail on their quest and we see it all through the movie, without really thinking about it. The land is prosperous throughout Arthur's reign. After he's wounded, the land grows stagnant and bleak and when he's finally healed, the land is healed with him. When we witness their ride through the cherry blossoms, it's the realisation of that narrative, come full circle. The part that always got my blood pumping was a bit earlier. When his 'brother' announces to the castle "Guards! Knights! Squires! Prepare for battle!!!" As he says those last few words, the music for Oh Fortuna starts to swell... It's such a wonderfully uplifting scene! It's such a wonderfully crafted movie!! People may object to the anachronistic armour and things like stirrups, which simply didn't exist at the time (certainly not in Britain). To me, however, it all adds to the pageantry of the movie and it would suffer without such things. Jon Boorman created a perfect movie and if he had to take artistic licence in the process, then I have no objections.

I don't think it's underrated, I think it's just not prevalent enough as part of classic cinema. Perhaps because it isn't really suitable for children to see, even though I read L'Morte D'Arthur in middle school, it's not really something that most kids would handle well...there's rape (though not really forcibly), incest (even though not voluntarily), various degrees of nudity, ultra-violence, adultery, and adult subject matter in general. You know your children and what they are mature enough to handle, but I will forever love this film and the score/soundtrack. Adults should at least be aware of this movie as a masterpiece and check it out when they are ready for a real movie that will last within your mind.

STAND BACK! Be silent! Be still! That's it... and look upon this moment. Savor it! Rejoice with great gladness! Great gladness! Remember it always, for you are joined by it. You are One, under the stars. Remember it well, then... this night, this great victory. So that in the years ahead, you can say, 'I was there that night, with Arthur, the King!' For it is the doom of men that they forget.

This movie, this story the way it was told, with the music, is beyond beautiful. The actors and actresses are amazing.

This was my first exposure to Orff (CB shows up in many soundtracks) - which led to my viewing of a combined choral/ballet performance many years later. Which led to many years of season ballet tickets... Still my 1st and favorite performance.

My favorite move, ever! I can pretty much quote it from start to finish! I have literally worn out 2 VHS tapes and currently have the DVD, which I watch regularly. I can't get enough of it.

Even after all this time, Excalibur is still the best version of this timeless legend 😍

I was completely blown away when I saw this movie for the first time.

I remember the first time I travelled abroad, went to visit my sister who lives in Germany. I visited the monastery where Carl Orff is burried which is half an hour walk through a forest from where my sister lives. I didn't know he was layed there in eternity. I got very touched because he is my favourite composer.

Watch this movie as a teenager and till this day is one of the best King Arthur movie!!! . from the knights of the round table, merlin, sir lancelot, to mordred, oh yes the epic song with king arthur riding with the knights he have left against he son mordred and his army classic.

Boorman's visual epic, the Excalibur story has never been told better than this and the soundtrack is suberb.🤩👌

Such an incredible piece of music. To go with an incredible film based on the Legend of King Arthur. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨

Still can't believe my dad took me to watch this at the cinema when I was 12.. I have the best dad ever.

Fantastic movie, with an equally amazing cast. Too many scenes but one of the scenes that still hits me, is during the end, right before the great battle with Mordred's army, Arthur calls out to Merlin. Merlin appears to Arthur..."Where have you been, these many years"...and after some dialogue, Merlin says, "You brought me back, your love brought me back"...amazing.

Love this song.it's got such a great feel

The Classic and only greatest King Arthur movie ever made, plus the Excalibur O fortune played by the orquéstese is the best soundtrack I ever seen.

this masterpiece is definitely on my mount Rushmore of epic films!!!!
