- HD Film Tributes Supports Kamala Harris for President! - kamalaharris.com/
I've never done anything like this before with this channel, however this is the most important presidential election of my lifetime. -- Donald Trump is a convicted felon who has also been found liable for both fraud and sexual assault. In addition, he clearly does not respect the democratic process unless the results are in his favor. That is why I am using this channel (and the over one million views it gets per day) to encourage people to vote for Kamala Harris on November 5th. She supports raising the minimum wage, LGBTQ rights, clean energy, and a woman's right to choose. -- I realize that I'll probably lose some subscribers because of this post, and for that I'm sorry because I hate to see anyone go. -- Anyway, thank you for reading.
-- Soundtrack from the 1981 John Boorman film "Excalibur" with Nigel Terry, Nicol Williamson, Helen Mirren, Cherie Lunghi, Nicholas Clay, Paul Geoffrey, Patrick Stewart, Gabriel Byrne & Liam Neeson. -- HD Film Tributes is a channel with over three hundred movie homages currently posted.

One of my all time favorites…….beautiful film….
I’d have to say that this is possibly the first “EPIC” film that I remember viewing as a child. And still one of my favorite movies, also my favorite of the King Arthur films.🐉💥⚔️
My favourite version of Merlin :)
This was the best movie and soundtrack ever made...ever!!
“Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government…”
It’s just a flesh wound….
Not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!
Now you have fill out a 30 page questionnaire before you can even ask for an Excalibur allowance...
Look, if I went round saying I was Emperor just because some watery tart lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
@@mikehickey7383 supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses
This was my first exposure to Orff (CB shows up in many soundtracks) - which led to my viewing of a combined choral/ballet performance many years later. Which led to many years of season ballet tickets... Still my 1st and favorite performance.
I'll be re-watching this movie from time to time till the day i die! haha A true gem of cinema.
This film blew me away as a kid and when the Knights were charging through the cherry blossom to this music I was captivated.
I still think that scene is one of the greatest cinematic movements of all time.
TechSys Engineer absolutely. It's forever burnt into my retinas
Problem being. It was mostly filmed in Ireland.
THis is beautiful and heavy on meanings. For the celts king and land were the same, when the king rise again so does the land.
@@kenhanson27 there is nothing wrong being filmed in Ireland so was father Ted
I fell in love with the movie when I saw it ,still I keep the DVD and a copy in my USB drive. And this music was just icing on the cake.
I have this movie on DVD and saw it in the theater and it is truly well done and underrated. It is a forgotten gem. Of course I confess to being an Arthurian legend nut.
....Did yours come with the Director's commentary? It is unintentionally funny at times. Mr. Boorman is so humble and self deprecating. He commented that due to the actor' heavy accent, "One night with Igraine" sounded like "One night with yer Granny." 🤣😂😅
I watched this film being made in Ardmore Studios in Bray Co. Wicklow Ireland. Magic magic times! I have a picture of me in Uthors Armour. after the filming stopped. Mad good times!
I was mesmerised by this film when i was a litte boy in the early 80's.
Amazing movie! Remember going to see the film at the cinema and I was spellbound!
What an extremely amazing classic movie masterpiece.
This movie is epic 💪. Best movie i've seen for it's time period!
Great film and great classic music
Still an underappreciated movie.
wuff and wuff. excellwnt film (of the genre) . good presentation old chao...
I still love this movies 95% ageless quality in September 2020 😷👍
no matter if your english ,american, asian african, whatever your blood is ....this song brings out the warrior within . you feel that raw power it bring . and it gets in your soul.
This is the only King Arthur movie that matters, Don't even bother trying to remake it!
It's near perfect, Great cast, Scenery, Music, Locations, Best adaption of the story.
Agreed 🙏🙏🙏
I love this movie
WHATEVER IS COMING WE'RE GOING TO NEED MORE YOUNG MEN TO DEFEND AMERICA!!!🙏❤️🇺🇲👍🏻
Saddle up lock and load
Agree this movie should be remastered in HD best King Arthur movie of all time 👑👑👑👑
I think the score from the end part of the film is utterly amazing 😅
Remember seeing this movie as an 8 year old kid and I checked out every King Arthur book I could find in the library
Bloody marvellous! I adore this film. Nicol Williamson steals every scene, but hey, why shouldn't he? A bit of Carmina Burana in bed before you go to sleep and then I can dream of kings and Helen Mirren. Now where is that cold shower?
Awesome movie. Deserves wayyy more love than it gets.
Outstanding
Grandioso !!!! Imponente pelicula !!!!!!!!!!!!
"Come father, let us embrace" !
I like the "this may contain spoilers" alert. This movie is like 45 years old.
Love it!
"Come father, let us embrace."
"I cannot give you the Land.... only my love."
"THAT is the only thing of yours I DONT want!"
Hay algunas peliculas que no importa cuanto tiempo pasen;son y seran una obra de arte ; a masterpiece
Como cuales?
Should be used as a trailer. Fantastic work!🙂
The best adaptation of L'Morte de Artur ever made, nothing since even comes close to it!
“Come father. Let us embrace at last.”
"A King without a sword, a land without a King!" said Lancelot before he went batsh!t crazy.
The Sword, you promised me the Sword. And you shall have it!
Meanwhile my brain: give me cookies! Salsa cookies! They'll give you gonorrhoea! This Octopus, let's give him boots!
For years I thought this was just the Excalibur OST
When the “Charm of Making” was recited in _Ready Player One,_ I shocked (or maybe embarrassed) my kids by reciting it from heart, thanks to repeated views of _Excalibur,_ one of the cinematic staples of my friends’ and my _Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D)_ years.
_”Anál nathrach, orth’ bháis’s bethad, do chél dénmha.”_
*A classic film of a timeless tale with a brilliant cast and an epic score.*
I would rather watch Excalibur than Return of the King, or any high fantasy done in the past 20 years. Way more nuance, mystery (and camp).
I like this kind of movies where the costume budget is even more high than Everest.
Acho que esse é o melhor filme sobre a lenda do rei Arthur apesar de ser um pouco cafona em algumas coisas
PASOK...Opoios katalabe,katalabe...
They need to remale this movie same script and all
An impossible film that John Boorman made real.
She gives the sword and she takes the sword away.
My brother many years ago was part of a qui re that did a show were they sang this in German have our English translations so everyone would know what they were saying. It was best because just when there riding thrue the cherry orchards and they blum is the part of the song were it says when the true king rides again the land will be reborn
"This is the age of man"
I was LOOKING FOR EXCALIBUR EXCALIBUR
IM FROM THE UNITED K. IM LOOKING FOR HEAVEN IM GOING TO CALIFORNIAAA
EXCALIBUR EXCALIBUR
O Fortuna would make SpongeBob look epic.
The thing that makes Excalibur special is that its really the only film version of the King Arthur story that actually took the medieval legends seriously, rape and incest included, and to present the entire legend in a single movie. No other version has even dared to attempt that.
"the only film version of the King Arthur story that actually took the medieval legends seriously"
_Perceval le Gallois_ (1978) took it way, way more seriously. It's far more literal in its Medievalism than _Excalibur_ . I still like _Excalibur_ best.
how about Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
i think a Black Knight getting both arms and one leg chopped off and then saying "Tis but a scratch!!" was very faithful to the King Arthur books, also when the French guy said King Arthurs mom was a hamster who smelled of elderberries was in book, and King Arthur sieged castles by throwin cows at them ALL THE TIME
I always thought the Merlin TV show was pretty awesome.
.
.
.
I kid, I kid. Put the pitchfork down.
@@youboob6297 no, no no - your mother was a hamster and your Father smelled of elderberries!
@@stvdagger8074 yes i just read *Le' Morte de Arthur* and that was the exact line in the book. fun fact: hamsters were royal pets in the Dark Ages and owned primarily by women. noble mens had hunting hawks and noble women had hunting hamsters. sometimes hunting hawks would eat hunting hamsters which led to the War of the Sexes, which is why women hate men to this day: because hamsters
Strangely still the best film based on the Arthurian legend I've seen.
And Jesus ... Nicol Williamson as Merlin is perfect. Whimsical, sinister, mysterious, powerful and playful. Nobody since has come close.
so true dude the best Arthus Movie with great cast. also Patrick Stewart
@@angolanischeziegenmafia1905 and lian neeson
"A dream to some.. A nightmare to others!!!!!" When I was little, I would walk around the house w/ a sheet draped on me, saying that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've always said Nicol Williamson's turn as Merlin is one of the greatest acting performances of all time. Just his voice alone is absolutely perfect for the role. Doesn't hurt that nearly every line he has is completely epic.
""Family, hearth and home. They are not for you, Uther:"
"What is for me? To kill and be king? Is that all?"
"Maybe not even that."
"Your words are like knives, Merlin."
"You killed the Duke, you stole his wife, you took his castle. Now, nobody trusts you."-----
I suggest you watch Kaamelott. It's a French série, worth every minute.
Young actors: Helen Mirren, Gabriel Byrne, Liam Nelson, Patrick Stewart . Lords and Ladys, what a cast
Helen Mirren, 36 évesen már nem volt olyan fiatal, 😉
Helen Mirren and Nicol Williamson(Merlin) had acted together before and HATED each other. John Boorman said "Great! You're working together.".
it's Liam Neeson
Also Ciaran Hinds
Don't forget Clive Swift of Keeping Up Appearance fame.
Probably the greatest Arthurian movie of all time, and this video was amazing, thank you!
Nah, It's a fantasy movie, I never liked it, much better the Knights of the Round Table (1953) directed by Richard Thorpe.
Agreed.
@unmarkedX Too much fantasy to my taste.
Probably? Hands down.
@unmarkedX its a legend, no history about arthur etc
The last ride through the trees in full blossom, the desperation, the determination...always chokes me up. My favorite film of all time.
Yeah I just finished being wrecked all over again after 40 years wow
The flowers bloom in the foreground as the knights pass, the symbolism should not be overlooked...
Great scene! I didn't know what the music was until I was about 20 (about 4 years after the movie came out). An older woman (probably only about 34 at the time) said her boyfriend was playing some wild music last night that made her think of me. She brought it in and I played it. I think it was one of the nicest complemements I ever got. For some reason women tend to say I belong to a much different time.
I never noticed as a kid, but watching it as a grown up, I learned that there was even more to that scene; Percival saying to Arthur "You and the land are one! Drink and you shall be reborn and the land with you!" wasn't just a cool-sounding line, it was the culmination of the narrative. It was foretold by Merlin in Arthur's youth, it was the secret Arthur had lost and was thus the 'Test' for the Knights of the Grail on their quest and we see it all through the movie, without really thinking about it. The land is prosperous throughout Arthur's reign. After he's wounded, the land grows stagnant and bleak and when he's finally healed, the land is healed with him. When we witness their ride through the cherry blossoms, it's the realisation of that narrative, come full circle.
The part that always got my blood pumping was a bit earlier. When his 'brother' announces to the castle "Guards! Knights! Squires! Prepare for battle!!!" As he says those last few words, the music for Oh Fortuna starts to swell... It's such a wonderfully uplifting scene! It's such a wonderfully crafted movie!! People may object to the anachronistic armour and things like stirrups, which simply didn't exist at the time (certainly not in Britain). To me, however, it all adds to the pageantry of the movie and it would suffer without such things. Jon Boorman created a perfect movie and if he had to take artistic licence in the process, then I have no objections.
Favorite movie of all time
The designer and builder of the armor in Excalibur was Terry English, who also designed the Colonial Marine armor from Aliens.
Go watch a multi part series on RUclips with Terry English and Adam Savage. They make a suit together.
Adam was just on TV yesterday during the SpaceX launch attempt. He showed many of his very accurate Space Suits and changed into many of them and planned to make a SpaceX suit as well.
I have a picture of me in Uthors armour .... mad good stuff!!!!!
Its to this date, the best armor made in any movie
Nice piece of movie trivia.
This movie has aged far better than most films have. a masterpiece.
EVERY movies is Hyped on release. But the Cream rises to the top. Decades later you see what it cherished, and what is free on "B" movies sites all over the web.
When people refer to movies as “Cinema.”, this is what they’re talking about.
This film is the apex of great Cinema. An absolute classic.
@Andy Derksen may be you mean "Porky's" ? Buuuuu
This is art. I wrote a paper about this movie in college and my Professor was delighted.
I had the distinct honor singing in a choir that performed the entire work of this. It was grand
I have heard two operatic/ choral pieces in person, my favorites mind you, and I wept like a we babe basking in the awe of sound. If I were in the choir,, I would undoubtedly faint.
i hate opera and operatic singing.
except for this piece. i love it.
Awesome
As did I.. I can still remember the thrill of being in the moment. "In taberna, quando suumus, non curamus quid si humus.." 🎶🎶 please forgive the spelling. 😊
Thank you!!
" I did not know how empty was my soul until it was filled"
.....Knights! Squires! Prepare for battle!
...ceste la ve
one of my favourite quotes in all cinema.
Igrayne: "You used that line on me too, Arthur."
The movie definitely should be remastered and released in theaters....I’d totally go see it on big screen.
I would to, I watched this as a kid in the 80s and was blown away!!!
I got the chance to see it two days ago on a big screen. Trascendental
This is the remaster made for the most current BluRay release :-)
I saw this again at a theater in Portland, OR in 2012. It was awesome!
@RitterVonBek68 I for one am sick of Hollyweird doing remakes of classic films. I prefer this movie because it was made by John Boorman
He made Zardoz. Now,that movie will trip you out. His daughter was in this film. She played Igran. Uther's lover who gave birth to Arthur. A better version was made with Sam Neil who played Merlin in the 90's. I know long winded. Don't include me as being thick. I also love this music. Some done by Wagner.
the best film on excalibur legend ever
Great music.. great movie.. the best Arthurian legend on screen
Best King Arthur movie ever. You can't change my mind.
I wouldn't think of trying. It 'is' the best.
No doubt!!
An entire generation grew up knowing the Carmina Burana and Wagner's Death March of Siegfried because of this movie.
For it is the doom of men that they forget.
"Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government ... You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!"
Spoken like a true moistened bint!
Bloody Peasant!
Given recent outcomes, I think we ought to give a watery tart-based system of government a try.
If I started calling myself an emperor just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me they'd lock me away
Relax..
Imagine as an 8 year-old in 1983 watching this movie for the first time. Thank you for enriching my childhood. This is the quintessence of all Arthurian versions, films, portrayals there was and is.
An 8 year-old ??? I was 5...!!!
How is this movie better than Monty Python's Holy Grail?
Epic, its such a shame movies like this get lost in time, true storytelling, amazing soundtrack,acting and a true tribute to the lore of king arthur.
Yuo u don't see movies like that anymore u just don't back in the 80's 90's those where good movies movies like those should be persevere in museums and old movie theaters. So generations could watch the movies.
@@victorperez5530 The movies are still around, dude
How is this lost? You could watch this movie right now.
@@chesterdonnelly1212 You can. But it's still lost if you haven't heard of it and aren't made aware that it exists.
@@CoffeeConnected I see what you mean. I hope in comes on TV some time soon. I would love to watch it again.
When I first saw this movie I absolutely loved it. Then when I found out that the costumes, especially the suits of armour, were pure fantasy I felt cheated. The movie had such an impact on how I imagined dark ages Britain. But now I have a better appreciation of storytelling and cinematography. I really want to see this again.
If Arthur is sleeping as legend says he needs to wake up now
You are so right
Wake up and send him to Michigan
@@fkrr5 Why Michigan? - there are many rioters and looters to smite in Minnesota!
@@stvdagger8074 Save me from Whitmer lol
it is ... too late ... for that...
Not a shred of CGI, yet still mesmerized the eye and imagination. Every scene in this film was brilliant and beautiful. Today’s film makers producing this cartoonish, computerized schlock have no idea how embarrassing they are.
No CGI but tons of magic, tons of amazing scenes, amazing lighting and costume all blended skillfully with an artist's eye. I couldnt agree with you more.
Well said
Reality is slowly fading into a virtual dystopia...😔⏳⚰️
Great story is everything.
Well, you don’t have to be so cheerful about it. 😒
It’s the best film about King Arthur. I am surprised a big budget series like game of thrones or something hasn’t looked into making a series about King Arthur based from them books. There is plenty of written sources about him to go off you could make a whole franchise. You could make spin offs about all the different knights, prequel about Arthur’s father Uther and sequels etc there’s loads. If they just stick to the written material instead of venturing off into when Arthur was meant to come on the scene in the dark ages. F*ck that we want to see knights in medieval armour battling it out. Not Saxons and Vikings. That sh*ts boring man. This is why I think Mel gibsons braveheart is a master piece. He goes outside the box. Telling a story is about entertainment. If you want historical accuracy go and watch a documentary. It’s why Ridley Scott is struggling to make an epic film. Sticking too much to the books. Go outside the box and win an Oscar like Mel did.
One of my all time favorite movie. Don’t believe the Arthurian legend was better depicted than in this masterpiece. It will never be surpassed.
Knights of the Round Table (1953) directed by Richard Thorpe.
''When a man lies, he murders some part of the world..''
That movie had some pretty deep quotes, no?
Wise words that need repeating in today's political climate.
"It is the doom of men that they forget."
The movie is based on 'Le Morte d' Arthur' (The Death of Arthur) a 15th Century Middle-English prose...
Yes. I have a copy of it but the reading is so difficult.
@@nancydemoss8421 I certainly was interested in getting my own copy. But unfortunately I heard just what you said. Some say more difficult than Shakespeare, wich is certainly difficult enough for me.
"Behold! The Sword of Power! Excalibur! Forged when the world was young, and bird and beast and flower were one with man, and death was but a dream!"
areasevenpro I swear this is why I can’t get right.
“Some watery tart....
If I yield to the sword Excalibur what will you yield?
@@kirkstinson7316 Me? Yield? I gots me Excalibuh, biatch!
Speak the words!!!
Lancelot to Arthur as he lay dying " It is the old wound my king it has never healed" I will always remember that statement it resonates life and loves we have lost.......................................
Indeed.
Sir! I give you infinite upvotes!
Dennis thank you
...mistakes we have not yet forgiven ourselves for.
@@thegreatbamboozler4837 ........ some don’t fade with time they are just there.
"Guards, knights, squires prepare for battle." Love that line.
I remember getting chills the first time I watched, when Arthur rode out with his knights for the last time and the land bloomed around them.
Are you a dream, Merlin?
A dream to some....a NIGHTMARE to others!
Damn, what a movie....
This movie is so damn great
"You have broken -- what could not BE broken! Hope, is... broken."
this is exactly what i felt when Hela broke Thors hammer by squishing it. i almost cried because Thor without a hammer is like ice cream without sprinkles, or chocolate syrup without milk, or Beyonce without Jay-Z
Doomsday killing Superman in BvS. Hope is broken.
STAND BACK! Be silent! Be still!
That's it... and look upon this moment. Savor it! Rejoice with great gladness! Great gladness! Remember it always, for you are joined by it. You are One, under the stars. Remember it well, then... this night, this great victory. So that in the years ahead, you can say, 'I was there that night, with Arthur, the King!' For it is the doom of men that they forget.
Merlin, your words have forged this ring....
"A King Without a sword the land without a king"
this is glorious but the ending with Siegfried's Funeral Music makes me cry every time
One of the Best Films showing the Beauty of My Homeland Ireland !
I'll never forget this film
This video had me teary eyed. Not just from the memories of being amazed by this movie when I first saw it as a kid. The visuals & use of Carmina Burana are awe inspiring.
I remember I was around maybe 13 yrs old when I first saw this movie...I was home sick from school and this came on our cable movie channel....I sat and watched and was enchanted from start to finish....honestly I can say this is one of the movies where I can admit it changed by life ("Gladiator" is the other) in many ways....this movie and it's many powerful scenes stay in your mind for ever after...….and while I was serving in Iraq with the Army back in 2004 I used a line from this movie...it went like this....my Platoon Sergeant told me to tell everyone get prepared for "the big day" of the Iraqi elections on Jan 30, 2005 and it was expected to be a day where we received the most resistance from the insurgency....so I left the Platoon Sergeant's office, walked down the halls between the soldiers' rooms and shouted "PRIVATES!!….SPECIALISTS!!!...CORPORALS!!!!…..PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!!"......now all of those young soldiers had no idea why I shouted it like that but a Staff Sergeant poked his head out his door with a smile and said "that's from Excalibur....that was so cool...ha ha!!…….we went on to have a hard exhausting 22 hours outside the wire protecting polling sites and besides just one inaccurate mortar attack there were no more insurgent attacks on us that day.
Real costumes. Real armor. Real horses. Real props. Real sets. They just don’t make’em like this anymore. Everything is CGI now & looks as fake as ever.
No cgi and a lot better for it...proper real movie making.
Absolutely so glorious and scenes so darn powerful its divinely majestic.
A dream to some.... A NIGHTMARE TO OTHERS!! This movie is what got me into D & D as a teenager, decades before LOTR. Just amazing....
When first I saw this film at the drive-i in 1982, I saw Mordred as an abomination, since he was a product of direct incest, and also since his armour was also gold-coloured. I felt horrified.
I guess they used this idea for the Joffrey Baratheon character is Game Of Thrones? He was equally revolting.
"Here you enter the coils of the Dragon. Here my power was born. Here all things are possible and all things meet their opposite.
"
"I have awakened the Dragon. Can't you see all around you the Dragon's breath? A beast of such power that if you were to see it whole and all complete in a single glance, it would burn you to cinders."
A true classic & by far, THE best of The Legend Of Arthur. -------------MJL, 77 y/o
Before being Batman's trainer, A jedi Master, an Ex CIA agent, Darkman, Rob Roy, Jean ValJean, A knight's Templar, and Zeus....her was Sir Gawain.
bluehavencd Star Wars (at least) was inspired heavily by the Legend of Arthur, so it makes sense.
He was Jean Valjean? (Edit: I remember when the '98 movie came out, but I never saw it and had forgotten about it.)
Also, he was Aslan from Chronicles of Narnia who also happens to be God. Someone should get together all the actors who have ever played God.
Of course, on the other end of things, he also played a horny Irish ghost in a movie called High Spirits. I guess every Conan the Barbarian has its Kindergarten Cop.
You forgot...Michael Collins
And Oskar Schindler
He was also a films' director in Dirty Harry 's "Deadpool"
Still the best movie.. better than all those remakes 👍
