Quote: The legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table receives its most impressive screen treatment in Excalibur, from visionary director John Boorman (Deliverance, Hope and Glory). All the elements of Sir Thomas Malory’s classic Le Morte Darthur are here: Arthur (Nigel Terry) removing the sword Excalibur from the stone; the Round Table’s noble birth and tragic decline; the heroic attempts to recover the Holy Grail; and the shifting balance of power between wily wizard Merlin (Nicol Williamson) and evil sorceress Morgana (Helen Mirren). With Patrick Stewart, Gabriel Byrne and Liam Neeson in notable early screen roles, Excalibur serves up, The New Yorker’s Pauline Kael wrote, “one lush, enraptured scene after another.”

Why, oh why didn't they use any of the several gorgeous Bob Peak posters?
One could always make a custom cover from the first poster instead of that photoshopped s**te.

I truly hate that cover. I don't think the knight on the horse or the castle in the background are even from the film itself! Very lazy.
The last line in that cover should read "photoshopped by studio..."
Again the studio are making the same they did when dvd appeared: releasing simple or bare bones editions for later release it again ina special edition with full extras.
It even doesn't mentions if the movie was remastered and cleaned up. It is the same content as the dvd edition, even the cover.

That's the cover used in the European edition.

I always loved this one. It was the cover of the German VHS tape at the time.

This movie was gorgeous, I'm very happy to see it coming to Blu-Ray.

Wow. It's been years since I've seen this. I had no idea Helen Mirren played Morgana.
I may have to pick this up. There really hasn't been many adaptations of this legend I've liked in the live-action sense, but this was pretty dang good. I like the weathered look they gave the original cover art, too.
