A recent posting reminded me of this fine film. It's now making the rounds on the cable circuits. If possible, watch it in stereo--the soundtrack (as played in stereo on The Movie Channel) is superb. Another cable feature that has a beautiful soundtrack is "Excalibur"--unfortunately it had few other redeeming characteristics. --Lauren--

I was rather disappointed in the movie. I felt the book was much better. Nothing definite about the movie, I just thought the characterizations were better in the book. I also thought the movie was somewhat disjointed and lacking explanation for some of the things that happened. (I would point these out with examples if I could remember them, but I can't). -- Chris Grevstad {sdcsvax,hplabs}!sdcrdcf!psivax!nrcvax!chris ucbvax!calma!nrcvax!chris ... you see, we are only a computer software programming order of monks...

Cough! That's your opinion. I thought Excalibur was great, and I highly recommend it to anyone that likes fantasy. I give it a 3 on a scal of -4 to 4. -- - Sean Casey UUCP: {cbosgd,anlams,hasmed}!ukma!sean - Department of Mathematics ARPA: ukma!sean@ANL-MCS.ARPA - University of Kentucky
