Can it be topped?

why isnt it more known? its literally a masterpiece

wish they had used more than just the same three Wagner pieces over and over though, perfect otherwise

>>86708888
>King Arthur
>Wagner
What did he mean by this?

>>86709393
because of the graphic sex & violence?

I'd wager most kids even back then were traumatized by Uther's death & Merlin's imprisonment

>>86709393
It's relatively well known, but
1) critics claim it has aged like milk;
2) normies find it long and tedious.

It's Carl Orff not Wagner. Right?

>>86709713
It's both.

>>86709713
>>86709810
They're the same person.

>>86709713

It uses Carmina Burana, but the rest is mostly three pieces of Wagner played over and over again... Seigfried's funeral march from Gotterdamerung, the overture to Tristan & Isolde, and the overture to Parsifal.

John Boorman needs to grow young again and just do Der Ring complete

Literally capeshit of its time.
Back to your BvS thread now.

I love the way its shot. Very beautiful looking film.

>>86709366
For a King Arthur tale? Hell no.

>>86710125

I liked it, too, but for completely different reasons than I liked Excalibur. King Arthur was more like pure fantasy. Excalibur exists in a weird mid-point between fantasy and reality.

>Excalibur exists in a weird mid-point between fantasy and reality
It's called low fantasy or sword and sorcery

>>86710790
It's weird to say this, but I disagree. It's presented in such a way as to make it feel like their world is ours, like magic is more something that once existed but went to sleep. Merlin even says something to that effect.

Technically, you're right. It's low fantasy, but it's like low fantasy set in our own world's past instead of a distinctly different setting.

That's low fantasy

>>86710101
it's a very 80's film

>>86710947
Dragonslayer is in the same vein

>>86709366
the actor who played merlin is dead

so is the one who played arthur ;_;

>>86708888
Yeah. Perhaps the greatest fantasy film ever made. Truly a masterpiece.

And their like shall not be seen again.

>>86708888
I watched it a week ago and i thought the pacing and dialogue was very chaotic.

What's up with all the red and green lighting?

Galahad was hot as fuck and had a very nice ass.

that's literally the King Arthur myth
since actual medieval it's presented as something that 'happened' in the mists of time and of course in the more romantic and chivalric depictions it's a time when men were built more hardy loyal and noble, ladies fair and pure, the sky bluer and grass greener but all that is lost to us now but could one day come again.

Why can't we have more films about knights and chivalry? Are they too toxic and masculine?

The look on Arthur's face when Lancelot arrives in the final battle is so wonderful. He's so happy to fight alongside his friend one last time.
