Excalibur

Starring: Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren, Liam Neeson, Patrick Stewart

It may be well worth it just to see “Excalibur” written in the shiny Excalibur font in the beginning of the movie! This is actually one of my favorite films, even though it looks like a big-budget 2+ hour Fleetwood Mac video. We see the birth of King Arthur, his early reigning years, and his death, all bathed in an odd greenish light, like he’s perpetually standing under a neon 24-hour dry- cleaning sign.

There are lots of drawn-out battle scenes involving guys in heavymetalesque suits of armor, and even a dismemberment or two. Lots of naked boobs, as well, if you’re into that sort of thing. With dialogue out of a D & D manual, this movie is sure to please! trivia: this was Liam Neeson’s first film. We also see that Captain Picard didn’t have any hair in 1981, either!
