you see, I hate it when guys like him say stuff like that...what the rest of us normal guys gonna say to top that?!

I have always admired this scene. I think it is because in those times words or feelings were not taken lightly. Swearing an oath or taking a vow meant so much to those people. When he says those words, "as long as you live, I shall love no other", you know he means it with all of his heart and mind.

@TheMiddleagedTomboy u are obviously a woman that has never considered the lot of gentlemen who have fell for whores...that is all i will say, because u r mostly right of coarse. Good Day to You.

Damn! Who can top that? Declare eternal  love for an unattainable woman?! Not me!

@TheMiddleagedTomboy Firstly, that's quite the generalization. I personally have never cheated and effectively ended 2 friendships by telling their female partner they cheat - just to tidy that stereotyping off.

Here in Excalibur however she baited it constantly. She was hardly the devoted wife and was the catalyst for the death of the entire round table - awesome chick!

@Rogov8 Men cheat all the time. In fact, it's considered cool when a dude is banging more than one woman. Men are hypocrites... Typical.

Anyone else smile at the Wagner at the beginning?

This is actually the saddest scene in the movie for here is the downfall of Camelot. The Bravest and best acknowledges that in his heart he has begun to betray his King, his friend and the land.

Arthur after seeing this scene:

"BAAAaaaSSSTAaaarrrddd!"

You know the one thing I actually don't like in this movie is the fact that Guinevere seems to only love Lancelot. Yeah she says she does love Arthur as a king and somtimes as a husband in this, but I always kind of liked the idea that she had a real love for him, and a different kind for Lancelot. But then again that does set this one apart from other versions as well. In any case it's one of the only love triangles I can tolerate. Ones like Bram Stoker's Dracula and Pearl Harbor are AWFUL.
