I'm very much in two minds about this film. On the one hand I like the gritty, bloody, sweaty, quirkiness of it all. This is the Arthurian legend where the...

Thanks for sharing your excellent review Gary. It has certainly given me some food for thought. I can see your point, and I think this kind of minimalist...
For me this is one of the all time great but flawed movies. Visually I think it is outstanding, and the stirring soundtrack (I wish I knew the classics) is of...
One thing that I really enjoyed about this film was it's self- depreciating humor... it was walking a fine line between nostalgia and relevance, in that it...

No matter how many films I see, there just seems to be an endless line of as yet unseen classics still to catch up with. This is another one of those. For my...
The plot may be pretty bizarre, but it's all perfectly in keeping with this satanically funny film. A priest is looking for Lucifer so that he can discover...
Again another Boorman classic, which you are right of course, is far more of a grown up picture than EXCALIBUR. Possibly 'Burt Reynolds' darkest and finest...
