His Merlin is one of the greatest movie performances of all time.

The one and only Merlin, as far as I’m concerned.

Great musical score and cinematography. One of my favorite movies—Excalibur.

Merlin: Looking at the cake is like looking at the future, until you’ve tasted it what do you really know? And then, of course, it’s too late.

Merlin: Too late.

Arthur: Merlin, where are you going?
Merlin: Where do you think? You have a kingdom to rule.
Arthur: But how? I don’t know how.
Merlin: You knew how to draw the sword from the stone.
Arthur: That was easy.
Merlin: Was it? I couldn’t have done it.

I read where much of the interior sets of
Excalibur were salvaged from a failed
Lord of the Rings project.
R.I.P. Mr. Williamson.

Great movie. To this day my older daughter and I will still spontaneously recite lines of dialogue from this movie back and forth to each other.

The ever-present “magical” green light ruined it for me.
To: the scotsman
Williamson's most memorable role for me will always be
HAMLET in the film made of Tony Richardson's production. His was the first Hamlet I ever saw, and I was amazed at how easy it was to follow. Started me off as a Shakespeare lover at an early age. The production featured a young Anthony Hopkins as the King and folk-singer Marianne Faithful as Ophelia. It's not my favorite version; but still worth watching and a great beginner's Hamlet.

"The ever-present magical green light ruined it for me." They didn't have a choice; it was a mandatory effect in all '70s Sci-Fi/Fantasy cinema :-)

It was a Great performance! May he rest in peace.

Sad to hear. R.I.P.
For me, his Merlin was the definitive Merlin; an unforgettable performance.
