Which is the best Arthurian film?

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I find the problem with the films is the legend itself. It's just not good.
>>
>>221809720
The main problem is that they try to force the whole story of King Arthur in a movie, which fundementally doesn't work. There's so much material and it spans decades; with an abundance of interesting side characters. This is why most Arthur movies fall flat. They try to squeeze far too much into it.
Excaliber is is really the only true contender, but it suffers from too much going on, and it I didnt care for it being an epic fantasy movie rather than just a typical medieval setting with some magic stuff going on. I haven't watched it, but Sir Gawain and the Green Knight had the right idea by focusing on a largely self-contained story, and some scenes look interesting; it's just a shame they made Gawain Indian. Merlin with Sam Neil was also pretty good.

I like There Will Be Blood
Paul Thomas Anderson is a real Arthur

Arthur II: On the Rocks

What a retard, why did you even consider posting that garbage comic? Excalibur is the answer to your question, by the way.

Correct. It would make a great trilogy. Given how Hollywood is always desperate for ideas and given to sequelizing everything to death, you'd think they would jump at a story that actually *wants* to be a franchise.

Film 1: Starts with Uther, ends with Arthur becoming king.
Film 2: Merry adventures of various knights. Lancelot & Guinevere getting up to no good.
Film 3: Grail, Mordred, downfall of the Round Table, death of Arthur.

JJ Abrams did exactly this with the Force Awakens and it's the lamest shit ever. People have cares about bloodlines since time immemorial.

>>221809720
I was going to shit on this retard for only knowing the disney version, but then I remembered that version doesn’t even include the fact he’s Uther’s hidden son.
Did this chromosome burglar really go out of his way to get offended by a Welsh myth from over a thousand fucking years ago?
>y-y-you fell for rage bait! He’s only pretending to be retarded!
Fuck off with this excuse. The schrodinger’s retard ploy is the oldest trick in the book.

Commies hate anything that is a). culturally imbedded in large population (in this case, the Celtic and Anglo spheres) and b). holds up traditional values

>he has superior genes, he should rule us and fuck our wives
Why are conservatives such cucks?

I think it's time for you to go back from whence you came, buddy.

>>221813760
>t. has never engaged with Arthurian literature

>>221813709
> he should rule us and fuck our wives
What an odd thing to say
>>
>>221813676
I'm honestly surprised nobody has tried to adapt the early monk stories where Arthur gets constantly btfo by all their self inserts, proving that chris chan is just the most recent example of an ancient trend.
They'd be able to shit on a European folk hero while claiming to be historically accurate for a change

>>221813853
Sorry I can't read shit written in faggottese. Maybe try not being a brown subhuman kike
