"Behold! The sword of power! Excalibur! Forged when the world was young, and bird and beast were at one with man....and death was but a dream....".

A true classic.

Favourite scene: When Percival falls into the water when searching for the Grail.

The music comprises of mainly Karl Orff and Richard Wagner compositions, the latter from the Ring Cycle. You should definitely watch this. It doesn't matter if, like so many other films about Arthur Pendragon, feature unrealistic dialogue and armour, this is a classic anyway.
