EXCALIBER

This version of King Arthur's story was released in 1981. Has anyone not heard the words "the sword in the stone" at some point in life, even if simply due to an animated or book version during childhood?

Bring on the myth, Wagner and more-more-Merlin. It's definitely a fave from younger days. Lancelot to Guenivere: "As long as you live, I shall love no other." That's gotta be top ranking in the ultimate most romantic things to say.

The scene near the end with King Arthur riding out to reclaim his kingdom, Wagner at fever pitch and the scenery changing is forever etched in my memory.
