[In conversation with Brad Pitt] Obviously you’ve worked with Andrew Dominik before on Jesse James. It’s interesting, because I have about 10 of my mates who I really trust creatively, and all of them—without any ambiguity at all—rank Jesse James in their top 10 films.

Excalibur

A surreal adaptation of Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur", chronicling Arthur Pendragon's conception, his rise to the throne, the search by his Knights of the Round Table for the Holy Grail, and ultimately his death.
Guy Ritchie
Director, Entrepreneur, Producer
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
