First Knight (1995)

Synopsis:
An aging King Arthur weds Guinevere, who falls in love with the itinerant swordsman Lancelot, while the fallen knight Prince Malagant plots a coup against Camelot.
Impressions:
I saw a little bit of this quite a few years ago, probably around its first run on TV, and I didn't run into it again until recently. There are plenty of takes on Arthurian legend, and while this is by no means the best, it's still pretty good. Sean Connery makes a good older Arthur, which makes for an interesting dynamic with Guinevere. Richard Gere isn't bad and Ben Cross is pretty good as big bad Malagant. Game of Thrones fans might enjoy that Liam Cunningham plays Agravaine. Give this one a watch.
