My favorite arthurian movies (part 1/3)

More details (and youtube links for the less known movies) under cut. Some of these I love, some are so bad so good, some are beautifully epic, some are just funny.

Knights of the Round Table (1953): Visually beautiful, epic-like, interesting Morgana and Mordred. Lovely Guinevere. Focused mainly on Lancelot.

The Sword in the Stone (1963): Classic Disney movie, heart warming, still funny moments nowadays.

Sword of Lancelot (1963) (youtube): Visually beautiful romance story between Guinevere and Lancelot, one of my favorite Mordred ever too.

Camelot (1967): Musical movie version of the Broadway musical. Beautiful visually, heart-breaking story, great acting, one of my favorite arthurian movies. Focused on Guinevere, Lancelot and Arthur and the tragedy of it.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975): The best arthurian movie ever created. Parody of the quest for the Holy Grail.

Excalibur (1981): A classic epic arthurian movie. Focuses on Arthur and then moves its focus on Merlin and Morgana. Beautiful fighting scenes and Camlann scenes.

Camelot (1982) (youtube): Camelot musical but this time filmed from the stage, so it has some extra scenes.

Morte d'Arthur (1984) (youtube): Lesser known Jeremy Brett movie focusing on Arthur's last years, on Guinevere's escape and return and on Mordred's betrayal. Narrated like a play, with narration over filmed scenes instead of dialogue.

Merlin and the Sword (1985) (youtube): So bad so good, accidentally hilarious. It focuses on Morgana vs Arthur, Guinevere's love, Merlin and it also has the only movie representation of Gawain and Ragnelle.

Illustrations done for High Noon Over Camelot, my favorite of the mechanisms albums <3

I didn't realize the hubris of combining all the different elements in the album visually until I was halfway through the process but it was worth it in the end ^-^'

Gwaine: Man, I'm fed up with these two, we have to do something.

Elyan: What are you talking about?

Gwaine: Arthur and Merlin and their stupid desperate flirting

Elyan: What? Flirting?

Gwaine: Are you blind?!!! Of course they flirt. If not, what would you call that?

Gwaine: *turns elyan's face to where Merlin and Arthur are being separated by Lance and Leon while they yell at each other*

Elyan: Social incompetence?

Just to say Ynys Môn, my book about Arthurian/Mabinogi characters reincarnated on modern-day Anglesey by an immortal Myrddin as a bunch of somewhat aimless 18 year olds, is now available a bunch of non-Amazon places! Thanks Draft2Digital! (It's also still available as a physical book on Amazon, though the price has changed because otherwise there would be basically no royalties). Publishing through them also means you can request your local bookshop or library stock it

For those who are interested in that sort of thing, the main trio are all some flavour of queer (bi, nonbinary, aro)

Arthur is my fav character, who is y’all’s?

In La Mort le Roi Artu (The Death of King Arthur, c. 1220), when Lancelot and Guinevere are caught in the act they are actually around fifty and their relationship has lasted for 20-30 years.

Wanted to do a few illustrations that try to capture that dimension because adaptations tend to have them very young.

(In the text, Guinevere is explicitely past fifty, Lancelot is a bit younger, and the chronology is not always coherent but Gawain is 76 and Arthur is 92)
