  • This movie and the Arthurian Legends inspired me to write a book about the return of Arthur in modern times. 

  • THIS MOVIE WAS/IS AWESOME.

  • I have a question though about this. The armors that they use.. aren't they only used in the late Middle Ages??

  • @Cannibalizer13 Yes, the full plate armor was only used in the late Middle Ages indeed. Keep in mind, though, that "Excalibur" did not aim to be an historical (transition Late Antiquity - Early Middle Ages) approach to the Arthurian tales (which was tried for the 1st time with "King Arthur", in 2004), but instead reflects the perception of those tales in one of the authors who wrote about it: Thomas Mallory and his "Le Morte d'Arthur". And Mallory was a late medieval writer (15th century).

  • @cathar1209 thanks i gotta agree that with the historical accuracy like how they did in King Arthur(2000) wasn't as majestic as the 1981 version.

  • Well Done. Thank you very much!!!!!

  • Well Done. Thank you very much!!!!!

  • Something about this song makes me wanna eat some pussy

  • I LOVE this music and own a VHS of the movie Excalibur. Simply put, to me it is magic! I can't imagine a better version, but since I haven't seen it I don't know; It could be even better. I look forward to it. Definitely in my top 5 movies of all times. I don't care if anyone else likes it, as long as I can still watch and listen to it.

  • undertaker themes...wrestlemania 1998

  • that was F-ing awesome !!

  • watched this film 35+ times--my favorite movie of all time...then i switched to 'jaws'..it's STILL the best authurian legend movie

  • @goofygoat2009 I trust you are joking about "Jaws".

  • @5thcenturya no..why would i? it's onbe of the BEST films of all time..has one of the top 5 most memorable movie lines in film history according to AFI

  • @goofygoat2009 OK, fair enough. I thought it was quite good, better than the sequels

  • Excellent video.... DO ANY OF YOU KNOW THE YOUTUBE VIDEO WITH THIS MUSIC OVER A MONTAGE FROM THE 1999 FILM - MESSENGER: THE STORY OF JOAN OF ARC? I saw it a few months ago but now I cant find it. I dont know the video name or the uploader's name. Can anyone help?

  • THIS MOVIE & SONG IS A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW.FOR ANY ANY ONE WHO MAKES A KING AUTHOR FILM."

  • Where is Guinevere, Morgana?

  • @aimeemacdn whoooaaa! damn...ok now this is a sexist montage as they are both integral to the story!

  • This music, these images, they lift my soul. This is about Our heritage, Our culture, Our history and I hope Our future.

  • classic movie !! excellent music !!

  • love this music

  • The best movie and music is fkng powerfull!

    

  • was the crow scene necesary? xD

  • one of the best films ever, music,chrome,blood, and mood. sir persival is the man.

  • Timeless. Priceless.

  • O fortuna has been ruined for me thanks to the misheard lyrics video. all I hear from 13-21 is "Staaaatuaaarry on his Kneees!"

  • AWESOME VIDEO!!! One of the best on YouTube. Hands down. Thanks for making this!

  • @nevskislake Thanks a lot!

  • Any man who would be a knight..and follow a king..Follow me!

  • I am going to show this movie to my kids and I am only 23 now and not planing on any kids lately...Imagine the face of kids in 2025 ( I guess ) with all fancy special effects in that time XD PURE EPIC CLASSIC MOVIE...o yea and great video man XD

  • This song isnt originally on another movie at all.It is Originally a song written by Carl Orloff. AND,..I do NOT plan to see the new remake.I hate it when theres a perfect film and it had been bastardized by the media.

  • one of the most beautifully shot films of all time...only flaw - sad movie, but a favorite

  • LONG LIVE EXCALIBUR - AND LONG LIVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!! : )

  • Excalibur 1981, my favourite filme!!! Nigel Terry, the best King Arthur's actor!!!

  • After all these years, "Excalibur" is still the greatest filmic retelling of the Arthurian legend and my favorite film.

    Thank you for posting.

  • consistently dissapointed with re-makea

  • John Boorman's other great film was "The Emerald Forest" I've seen it about 10 times. John's son Charlie plays the lead character beautifully. The Gold Guy in this video is also Charlie. "Deliverance" was a pretty good film too of course.

  • 3 Idiots disliked this montage..

  • Nice montage, but the original sequence from the movie was good too! I had a laser disc of this movie, but since my last move, my laser disc player and discs are all packed up.

  • my all time favorite film!!!

  • One of my top ten movies of all time. Very good video well done classic for a classic

  • @englishjoe70 Thanks!

  • @englishjoe70

    Best thing about this movie was the atmosphere. It made you feel like you were really there, that it really happened. All without CGI.

  • 80's movies were awesome. Let's see, the original Batman movies, Rambo, Star Wars, Excalibur, and the list goes on.

  • if you love the Arthurian legend and this great film then do not watch "Camelot" on starz. it completely butchers the legend, the writing, and most of the acting is mediocre at best. I gave it many chances, I watched 4 episodes and it's just awful. if there is a remake it not only has has to live up to the amazing John Boorman film it also has make up for that piece of shit series.

  • @ptolemy1989 I know what you mean. I actually am against the Sci-fi series "Merlin" as well because it does not even follow the legend (or from what I know from The Sword in the Stone book)

  • @nintendonut999 I saw a little of Merlin it's not at all relevant to the legend but it at least has interesting characters and somewhat creative story arc where Camelot is mostly about Arthur and his drama with Guinevere and it's just uninteresting. basically they turned the Arthurian legend into twilight

    .

  • @ptolemy1989 Okay, I have to agree with you on that one.

  • @ptolemy1989 Hollywood doesn't do history, politics, or justice. They're completely useless consistently.

  • All around a classic and easy to see why it would be some folks fav, great movie. The song though... Epicness 5000 (I totaly would have named it that too.).

  • One more thing, there is a new remake of this movie being produced now and to be released in 2012. Also, to answer the question of the orchestra/conductor...I don't know if the guy who posted this set it to the original soundtrack or another version, but the original from the movie was by the Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the conductor was Herbert Kagel.

  • @mrmac518 I used the Ilya Stupel version.

  • @mrmac518

    Who else thinks they'll ruin the remake like they've ruined EVERY remake?

  • @mrmac518 loved this film , hope your right!!

  • @mrmac518 I know you can't answer this but, WHY do they insist on trying to recreate genius? It makes me ill every time they try and improve on the original. This is IT. OK, producers, directors, and actors. It doesn't get any better than this. This IS the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Ugh. I hate Hollywood.

  • ....12 Angry Men ( the Henry Fonda version), Gone With the Wind, Inherit the Wind, Les Miserable (the Liam Neeson version). There are many more but because I am no typist I will not list them all here.

  • Come on guys...give me a break. I love this version of Le Mort De Artur (a.k.a. Excalibur) because it sticks to the book very well, but to say that it is the BEST FILM EVER is a serious stretch of the imagination. Either you have no knowlege of the thousands of films that put this one to shame or you just like to see your thoughts in print. Check out the following films and see what I mean...

  • This movie is AMAZING. I cant stand to watch old movie (mostly before the 90's) but this movie is better than most movies nowadays. They will never make a midievil movie that compares to this. Braveheart came close but this is better than braveheart,

  • Liam Neeson's character sucked in this movie... such a shame... :(

  • @KursedMalediction47 Yea he got beat up pretty bad.

  • still oneof my all time fav films! well done

  • Can anyone identify the particular orchestra/conductor for this performance? It is EMACULATE!!!

  • Greatest King Arthur Movie EVER! Can't wait to see what Stars channel does with Camelot

  • @jjmdirector

    Greatest King Arthur movie ever? ...I've never seen a movie, where Excalibur and the sword in the stone are said to be the same weapon - they are separate!

  • Where have all the visionary directors gone?

  • Great film, and an excellent bit of editing to a brilliant piece of music. Well done indeed - and they don't make movies like this any more.

  • @strade100 Thanks!

  • Orff makes this video great. brilliant film =D

  • Best knight movie

  • just watched this film the other day and it was just as good as the first time I watched it. Excellent work, thanks to cast and crew.

  • great music,excellent video,i remember them making this movie on the west coast of ireland

  • @MrTrooper20 Superb movie, unequalled IMHO by any of the other Arthurian movies...

    ...East Coast by the way, a good half of footage shot in & around Wicklow, Eire - the backyard of John Boorman. They have an "Excalibur drive" which takes in a few of the locations.

  • @MrTrooper20 must of moved the blasket islands and the rest of the scenery around the coast then,check out the end of the movie,that`s kerry,i remember watching them making arthurs death scene,boring as hell

  • Bellissimo, epico... escono i nostri desideri piu' ancestrali.........

  • The only thing better than this film is, well, ME...because I am #1. Look me up if you don't believe it...or I'll put you in the tree!

  • Excellent film, excellent piece of music and brilliantly edited! Well done!!!

  • @ginnikipper Thanks!

  • 1000 blessings to the movie and the man that combined this great music to it.

  • best film ever :)

  • I love "O Fortuna"! I wish somebody would do a video with "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" with "O Fortuna" playing in the background as a dual tribute/parody to both "Excalibur" and "The Holy Grail", lol

  • Merlin!!! Weave your mist. Summon the Dragon!

  • If this does not get you pumped then I don't know what will!

    BSO de 10!!

  • the passion they had in the 80s i don't know if hollywood can capture that anymore!!!

  • Well said..!!!!

  • 1981! GUYS 1981!

    how many movies that we have now can even begin to compare to this

  • good point not many!!!

  • Kingdom of Heaven

  • @SrecaSePlaca Thats why it won awards and nominated for for best cinematography :)

  • @SrecaSePlaca ¡You told it!

  • @SrecaSePlaca i cant count, because nothing even comes close to this most epic of all medievel movies ever made to date. posted 16/10/10. there is a lack of great directors in hollywood they seem to be all broke or making teen flicks for cash oh how hollywood has gone down hill since the 1980's.

  • @SrecaSePlaca ..a dream to some .. and nightmare to others! :)

  • @SrecaSePlaca u right this film of my childhood is my best forever epic !

  • its one of the best movies, i have ever seen in my life!!!

  • @Ostfrontheld I agree!)

  • Watching the movie on DVD right now!! Epic movie that is timeless!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful move! I think that also try to tell us that we have to find the way of GOD! The movie has got wonderful music also! Really good work! That is real: Man is a wonderful thing who has been created by God!

  • Well, I completely agree with the "beautiful movie", but why should we see here a message about god? All right, the story always talk about it, but atheists can find a lot of other things in it!! Pride, honour, friendship, love, treason...

  • One land one king!

  • In my opinion the best King Arthur movie ever made.

  • Classic movie. I still have the VHS. Love Morgana-hot little tramp.

  • Mrowrrr. Helen Mirren is of Russian noble ancestry. That's where she gets those eyes and cheekbones.
