Excalibur
For a long time co-writer/director John Boorman 's 1981 film was, for many, the definitive take of Arthurian legend on film. In the four plus decades since, Excalibur feels a bit forgotten. Shot entirely on location in Ireland, the film won immediate acclaim for its viaual style, costume design, and cinematography. Cast with mostly unknowns (with a couple of notable exceptions) the film adapts Thomas Malory 's Le Morte d'Arthur covering Arthur from conception through death.
