Anyone else able to watch this movie over and over


without out getting sick of it, i swear i have watched this movie about 20 times and i can still watch it without getting board at all!
Ever since watching this, no other King Arthur stories have been as good or captured me as much! Merlin was truely a great film and i wish it was more known and made it to the cinema!
What are your favourite scenes?
Mine would have to be any with Maab, she was the best character, even though she was evil

Church is fallible because it's created by man

I had this on VHS ack in the day and was constantly rewatching, but the old video player has been out of order for years. Need to get it on dvd at last. Just itching to see it again a couple of times. The best on-screen fairy tale I've ever seen.
Sam Neil rocks!

Well, last night I watched this for the third time in my life. I saw it when it came out, then a year ago after getting the DVD, and last night after watching The Wings of the Dove with Helena Bonham Carter the night before, which reminded me about her role as Morgan Le Fey in this film, seeing both films were made around the same time. So, I hunted for the DVD, found it, put it in my DVD player... and enjoyed. I actually enjoyed it more this time (not that I didn't like it previous times), so it's very possible that in a year or so, I'll be watching it again. I won't be watching it twenty times like the OP, but I'll get more of my money's worth from that DVD in years to come.

BTW, even though Helena Bonham Carter might steal the scenes she's in, I do admit that this film belongs to Miranda Richardson, who was great throughout the whole film as Queen Mab.

Yes.
Incredible, story, scenery and acting.
One of my favourite films of all time.
