   Is Excalibur an R-rated fantasy movie?

   • Excalibur is an R-rated fantasy movie. It looms over the genre like Merlin’s fabled, all-encompassing dragon. When fantasy films had a bit of a boom in the early 80s, a few other R-rated ones did make it to release, but you don’t really hear anyone talking about Deathstalker or Sorceress all these years later.

   Is 'Excalibur' a good movie?

   • Boorman's “Excalibur” is a record of the comings and goings of arbitrary, inconsistent, shadowy, figures who are not heroes but simply giants run amok. Still, it's wonderful to look at. Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.

   • 'Pan's Labyrinth' (2006) One final dark fantasy movie directed by Guillermo del Toro worth highlighting would have to be Pan's Labyrinth. This takes place in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, and sees a young girl retreating into a disturbing fantasy world to escape from her even more fearsome stepfather, the villainous Captain Vidal.
   • 'Fanny and Alexander' (1982) Ingmar Bergman's most famous fantasy film is also what's probably his most famous film full-stop: 1957's The Seventh Seal.
   • 'The Lighthouse' (2019) Three years before the release of The Northman, Robert Eggers made The Lighthouse, which counts as both a great R-rated fantasy film and a great R-rated horror movie.
   • 'The Double Life of Véronique' (1991) The Double Life of Véronique keeps things mild when it comes to fantastical elements, and is perhaps more focused on being a romantic drama over anything else.

   Roger Ebert. January 1, 1981. 4 min read. What a wondrous vision “Excalibur” is! And what a mess. This wildly ambitious retelling of the legend of King Arthur is a haunting and violent version of the Dark Ages and the heroic figures who (we dream) populated them.
