In Arthurian Legend, Leondegrance was the name of Guinevere's father. In the 1981 movie "Excalibur," King Leondegrance was played by Patrick Stewart.

unlabelledView post →Strangely enough, Roger Ebert’s review of the 1981 film EXCALIBUR is a pretty good description of Operation Excalibur
unlabelledView post →Watching John Boorman's EXCALIBUR (1981). It is a decidedly STRANGE viewing experience, and I can see why it divides people. There is an artificiality to everything, but it also looks just GORGEOUS. It sort of feels like it's half movie, half stage play...and is very sparse in it's storytelling.

Niche is ok! For example, these are on my list: The Firm Excalibur Children of a Lesser God
unlabelledView post →OK so I'm watching Boorman's 1981 EXCALIBUR which I haven't done since 1989 and Ciaran Hinds is in it, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirram I remebered but Ciaran? Liam Neelson - that film is stuffed full of talent...

unlabelledView post →I saw The Odyssey w/ my 12 who loved it like I loved Excalibur when I was his age. Some scenes will stay w/ me, the movie prob not. I asked a friend who studies ancient Greek. She wouldn't comment on Nolan, but told me to watch The Return. My god, I made it 1/2 hr before I was overwhelmed by grief.

unlabelledView post →Tonight I’m watching one of my fav fantasy movies, and arguably the definitive Arthurian legend movie - Excalibur!
unlabelledView post →Yes, I know, it's fantasy, if you make a fantasy film/tv show you can do what you like, historical accuracy is less important... but... is this supposed to be Excalibur? How could they do this to her, they turned her into some cheap looking tacky toy! Nay, worse. #pendragoncycle

unlabelledView post →I think the same might be true of Excalibur. An hallucinatory, brainsick cargo cult of a movie. Happy birthday John Boorman. 2/2 youtu.be/knJQxaO5Bt4?...
unlabelledView post →The party is over...back in film-world, I'm going all-in to lift swords from stones with John Boorman's Excalibur. Filmed in beautiful lush Ireland, it's the Arthurian legend with extra magic. Helen Mirren, Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne and Patrick Stewart star. 5/5. film-authority.com/2025/07/20/e...

unlabelledView post →You can play the world's worst drinking game with EXCALIBUR: take a drink every time someone uses his indoor voice. You will be sober by the end of the movie.
unlabelledView post →Boorman and the Devil is a great feature-length documentary about the making of Exorcist II: The Heretic. Sitting between his Zardoz mask and his Excalibur sword, director John Boorman reflects on what went wrong. Out today in the USA + UK next month. 4 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/08/28/b...
unlabelledView post →Is John Boorman's Excalibur (1981) the definitive Arthurian adaptation? Let's discuss this potent fever dream of a film, from its brilliant Merlin and excellent cast to some of its...weirder and more puzzling choices
unlabelledView post →The Odyssey (2026) is very much Nolan's Excalibur (1981) which I think is a VERY conscious choice, like there's so much Boorman floating around this movie once you see the connection the ending can't help but feel like a deliberate allusion to Zardoz
unlabelledView post →Incredible run, after the debacle of 'Exorcist II' he makes....'Excalibur' A success, but also a very weird, stylized film- our dude refuses to learn any lessons from failure and keeps banging out exactly the movies he wants to make, studios be damned
unlabelledView post →This shit is AI, everybody. But watch Excalibur anyway because it's the best movie ever made
unlabelledView post →Watched Excalibur (1981) last night and I'm obsessed with this beautiful old man
unlabelledView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #120 "Excalibur" (John Boorman/1981) Ultimately a messy film but one that is visually gorgeous. Thanks the Gods Arrow finally delivered us a delicious 4K release! Check it out.
unlabelledView post →Excalibur (1981) is the first R rated movie I recall seeing. My King Arthur-loving dad took me to see it in the theater when I was 7. It led me to believe that adults were into some weird shit.
unlabelledView post →Photos by Sean Ellis for “The Dark Knight Returns,” THE FACE #19 (Aug. 1998). Styling: Isabella Blow. “Fashion nobility Alexander McQueen and Jeremy Scott prepare to do battle in the epic quest for Excalibur.” Costumes include original armour from Boorman’s film. Posted these in 2024, just not here.
unlabelledView post →If, like me, you enjoyed the Odyssey, here's another historically inaccurate but gloriously visual movie that's worth another watch — John Boorman's Excalibur
unlabelledView post →Boorman notably recruited a certain Neil Jordan as a "creative associate". Jordan filmed behind-the-scenes footage, which resulted in documentary titled The Making of Excalibur: Myth into Movie, now preserved by the Irish Film Institute.
unlabelledView post →Share a TV or movie villain or villainess you find sexy! Helen Mirren, as Morgana Le Fay in Excalibur, will have you imagining your own private subplots.
unlabelledView post →The Archbishop of Canterbury (or someone in robes with a beard) descends into a crypt and starts chanting, like in the film Excalibur.
unlabelledView post →I’ve reached the point where it isn’t that Excalibur (1981) is “so bad, it’s good,” but that it’s just an amazing film outright. Also… God Bless Nicol Williamson.
unlabelledView post →Also included are the oft discussed but rarely seen TV cut of the movie, and excellent retrospective documentary Excalibur: Behind the Movie, AND... 4/8

unlabelledView post →I say this as a big LotR sicko: Excalibur may be the best (traditional, wizards & magic swords-style) fantasy film ever made.
unlabelledView post →Tonight’s movie is Excalibur which has been on my list forever. How long is forever? I can still remember it being excitedly hyped by friends in my 4th grade playground when it came out because it has breasts and butts.
unlabelledView post →This movie came out on the very same day as Excalibur in 1981?! A hell of a weekend for chivalry cinema fans.
unlabelledView post →Watched the @agramuglia.bsky.social video about how Zack Snyder’s favourite movie is the 1981 Excalibur and there has never been a more thorough thesis statement to explain why the man does what he does. (I still think Excalibur is fun. Wha a movie to see in your teens!) youtu.be/QOIIKxzrtQ0?...
unlabelledView post →I'm an absolute slut for what I call the "ravishingly beautiful hot mess" film. EXCALIBUR. BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA. THE KEEP. ZARDOZ. Gimme, gimme, gimme.
unlabelledView post →Watched Excalibur (1981) the other night. Now I'm making this study everyone's problem #ArtStudy #Film #Armor
unlabelledView post →Just remembered the 1981 film Excalibur exists. Might need to rewatch.
unlabelledView post →Good guess. No, Excalibur was played by Jack Hawkins in the 1967 film adaptation. Dudley Moore performed the role on Broadway 1978-83.

unlabelledView post →is John Boorman's Excalibur a "good" movie? these are just words. Is it the *most* movie? unequivocally yes.
unlabelledView post →In our conversation with him, Boorman mentioned having been a good disciple to the Arthur myths. I think we’ve been good disciples to Excalibur and to John... #film #filmsky #excalibur #johnboorman #kingarthur #merlin 7/8
unlabelledView post →In a better world, there would have been an Excalibur movie in the early-90s and the Jim Henson Creature Shop would've done incredible work bringing Technet to life
unlabelledView post →enjoying Excalibur on Blu-Ray. an amazing film. saw it in the theater when it first came out in 1981. stellar cast and superb direction by john boorman. (watching the original theatrical release) #excalibur #kingarthur #fantasy #medieval
unlabelledView post →Tonight’s Film Selection🍿🎥🎬: My second favorite King Arthur film. John Boorman’s 1981 “Excalibur” will always be runner-up to “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” which is so much more historically accurate. Excalibur completely left out the Knights Who Say Ni! 😂🤣😂🤣 #TonightsFilmSelection
unlabelledView post →#LastFourWatched This might surprise you but DEMONWARP is not on the same level as EXCALIBUR. Also THE INVITE is the best film of the year so far.
