Live Poll: Best Film About the Arthurian Legend

Good timing! ;-)

I have seen a lot of these movies and love them too but I also know that some of them are set in Arthurian times and are not about King Arthur. What makes it harder to choose is the knowledge that the story of Lancelot's love affair with Qwen is a purely fictional romance written over 100 years after the King Arthur Legend was first set down to paper in "Mort d' Arthur ". What a hard problem to choose.
With all it's problems with the Lancelot storyline "Camelot".
May I suggest "The Mists Of Avalon", http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244353/?... ? It is a feminist take on the King Arthur legend by telling the story of the women in the King Arthur tale.

have seen most of these and would clearly vote for 'excalibur'...

one i would consider adding is a great film titled 'the mists of avalon' starring joan allen, anjelica huston, and julianna margulies...

Very few Arthurian films are any good at all, for some reason. I maintain a great fondness for George Romero's 1981 clunky but effective--and affecting--Knightriders, about a modern reenactment group that tells the story on motorcycles...and doesn't realize that they're actually reliving the story themselves.

leavey-2,

Your poll Best Film About the Arthurian Legend is the 199th IMDb poll to reach 10,000 votes.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) is moving up as more and more people have seen the movie. It's now already in second position.

One of my favorite 'Arthurian' stories isn't a movie:

I voted Excalibur 1981 because it is the most accurate depiction of the deeply spiritual teachings and archetypes contained in the original story.  This is not just a story, it is a profound spiritual teaching much like other famous stories. A way of giving these archetypes and esoteric principals to humanity, which are real and exist inside us all, through the ray of art, in the form of a story.  Its a hard movie to watch in the beginning especially due to the movie reflecting the chaotic state of Camelot (which represents our inner 'country') in the beginning of the spiritual work.
