Turn up the volume! Hard to believe this film is almost 35 years old. Some may disagree, but what Boorman did is still way, way up there in my book. Helen Mirren is just out of control in this movie.

This redone trailer makes you want to go out and joust.

Love the original. Semi-recently found it for a buck at a thrift store. Yup. It holds up.

I didn’t see anything new in the trailer. I used to think that movie was the actual story of King Arthur. It’s not even close, however. It takes some of the stories and changes the characters as well as the context to create something entirely different. Still, it’s one of my favorite movies.

Where I learned my love for Wagner and Carl Orff as a 10 year old. And still love to this day..

It works better with the original soundtrack, which is the work of Richard Wagner.

All the chorus, upbeat music, may appeal to those born, not to relish the original mythos, and why Waqner was chosen.

Highly recommend this movie — for the music alone if nothing else.

The score’s use of Wagner is ingenious.

Love this film. It takes you in a trance for 2+ hours and doesn’t let go.
