Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Twilightfa

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Yes this is the movie with the Gawain-Lady Ragnell marriage in it. I hunted high and low for it online and finally found it here. This is not a great adaption of the Arthurian legend but parts of it are certainly worth seeing.The idea of an American falling through a hole 'ala Alice In Wonderland was completely ridiculous but many of the actors do a fine job in this movie. Add it to your list and spend some time watching it. It's definitely a good romance between Gawain and Lady Ragnell (cursed to look like a boar/pig until kissed by her true love).McDowell gives a fair performance. Edward Woodward is outstanding as usual.I was surprised that I actually like the view of Mordred. Let's face it, it's tough to top Excalibur but eventually someone will!

I remember seeing this movie a long time ago when I was young. And I remember liking it, of course I was a youth. But, still, what I liked about it was the fact that it had the Arthurian element of fantasy to it. I like that in any movie, so-called "good" or "bad." By the way, does anybody know where I can find this movie to either rent or buy so I can make a wiser judgment for myself?Thanks for any info, my email address should be available after the comment.

I saw this movie years ago on the late show - was switching channels and came across Dyan Cannon in Stonehenge... that piqued my interest... and then there was Malcolm McDowell and Liam Neeson... and Edward Woodward as the great wizard Merlin... this movie is Grade Z, but the cast is fantastic... this is one to invite friends over, crack the six-pack and heckle. I'd love to get a copy for this reason alone. I'm surprise MS3K hasn't picked on it yet!

Unbelievable. This movie is without a doubt one of the poorest excuses for wasting celluloid I have ever seen. I like the whole King Arthur/Knights of the Round Table genre, so I was prepared to give it a little latitude when I started watching it and saw in what direction it was going (downhill), but this movie's stupefying ineptness is mind-boggling. Candace Bergen in a red Bozo the Clown wig, cackling maniacally as she spouts gibberish that is supposed to be magic spells, Liam Neeson playing a Pictish barbarian talking like an Indian in a 1930s western ("Me have many babies with this woman! Me go now!"), poorly staged "battles" that looked more like a crowd of drunks lurching into each other, cheesy special effects, and some of the most brainless dialogue this side of "Plan 9 from Outer Space" combine to make this movie a laugh riot. The "acting" is at a junior-high school level, the photography is washed out, it appears to have been edited with a chainsaw--and they are just its =good= qualities. All in all, an experience to remember--if you can stay awake (I couldn't; I missed the last 20 minutes because this thing put me to sleep...).
