Grey Wolf, did you say "Excalibur"? I'd really, really love to know some reasons why you think this movie merits a "best" distinction. I seriously believe Excalibur is one of the laughingly WORST films ever made, EVER. If there were a college course on How To Create an Absolute Piece of Celluloid Garbage, they'd use this film as the study guide. I couldn't keep a straight face at any point during watching it, and at quite a few times my annoyance would swell up into outright rage at its insistent insipidity; plus most of the cast seemed at all times to be either stoned, twacked on 70's coke, or just plain mentally retarded.
Excalibur??!? The only thing at all good about it was Liam Neeson. Disclaimer: BTW, no offense is intended. Just wanna know what you think.
