Arthur the King 1985

97

Merlin is a mythical figure prominently featured in the legend of King Arthur and best known as an enchanter or wizard, among his various other roles. His usual depiction, based on an amalgamation of historic and legendary figures, was introduced by the 12th-century British author Geoffrey of Monmouth. Later writers in France and elsewhere expanded the account to produce a fuller image, creating one of the most important figures in the imagination and literature of the Middle Ages.

This list includes films and TV episodes that prominently feature the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Originally I wanted to only include faithful adaptations, but that line gets really blurry—so this list includes time travel, modern retellings, etc. (but not operas, documentaries, or recorded plays). The legends continue to evolve, bearing the marks of different time periods, so that is only fitting. I have broken down TV shows into episodes, both for easier rating and since some shows only have a few episodes on the subject.

I will rate the films/TV episodes as I see them or preview them enough to get an impression.
