Excalibur was directed by John Boorman and stars Nigel Terry (King Arthur), Helen Mirren (Arthur's half-sister Morgana), Nicol Williamson (Merlin), Nicholas Clay (Lancelot) and Cherie Lunghi (Guinevere).

And his two later movies, Zardoz (a futuristic handling of the Arthurian legend) and Exorcist II — The Heretic (with its magic and horror), each bear the imprint of Malory's thematic concerns.
Excalibur easily moves beyond all the other screen treatments of this universal story and, thanks to a mesmerizing performance by Nicol Williamson as Merlin, it contains the humor, irony, and intelligence to make it a modern classic.
Eighteen years later, Arthur (Nigel Terry) miraculously pulls the enchanted sword Excalibur from the stone in which it was implanted at Uther's death.

Excalibur was a personal project for Irish director Boorman, who had cherished the idea of making a film version of the Arthurian legend for some twenty years.
Most authorities agree that the genesis of Arthur, Guenevere, Merlin and Excalibur, was the period between the late 4th century and the mid 6th century when England was in a time of transition.

 DVD Review - Excalibur   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Still, the one maxim that I can’t argue with is, "A good movie is a good movie." Which brings us to "Excalibur." This telling of the legend of King Arthur has long been one of my favorite films, despite the fact that it’s a period piece.
While most of us are familiar with the basic tenets of the Arthurian legend, including Camelot, Excalibur, Sir Lancelot, etc., the movie "Excalibur" goes very in-depth into the stories and tells a very complete tale.
Also included on the DVD is the movie’s original theatrical trailer running for almost two and a half minutes.

 Excalibur Movie Discussion
I adore this movie, one of my favouritemovie and seen it about 5 times only from the beginning to the end, but some of my favourite parts maybe more than 20.
The things "Excalibur" has are excellent acting, good storyline, great music (mostly from "Carmina Bourana" and Wagner), and great direction such as scenery, camera shots, etc. These elements really grab a viewer's heart into loving the movie, which is a masterpiece.
The movie where Martin Short play a servent guy with two heads (actually, to be fair, he doesn't have two heads, he just does this weird spinny-aroundy thing when he changes shape) is the miniseries Merlin, which was shown on NBC in the late nineties.
