I saw John Boorman's Excalibur in 90s and I was an impressionable young man of 10 and it was the first like knights in shining armour film that ever spoke to me. I wasn't particularly interested in Errol Flynn or any incarnation that they did in the 50s in this genre but John Boorman's one was rather good. It is very aggressive and no one spoke to one another they all shouted at one another

I mentioned Excalibur earlier. There's much to admire about John Boorman's film. The visuals are a feast for the eyes, and the movie includes some wonderful performances.

But what I really admire more than anything else is technique. Say, in Blade Runner, or the camera work in Excalibur.
