Grail & Arthur Themes
The following is a chronological collection of screen-caps from every
single Grail- or Arthur-themed film I watched between February 12, 2013 and
February 12, 2014. For a chronological lineup including other films as well,
visit my complete #WatchlistScreenCaps chronology. Links lead to previous pieces on a given film.
The Sword in the Stone (1963), prod. Walt Disney
Unusual Disney feature, one of its most laid-back and episodic (no commercials, though)

Into the Bressonian wood: a ghoulish, spiritually beleaguered Camelot
Perceval le Gallois (1978), dir. Eric Rohmer
3 drops of blood in the snow
Excalibur (1981), dir. John Boorman
A land of silver castles and golden dragons
Parsifal (1982), dir. Hans-JΓΌrgen Syberberg
So many fantastic images to choose from in dazzlingly weird Grail opera film
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), dir. Steven Spielberg
"I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne: 'Let my armies be the rocks, and the trees, and the birds in the sky.'"
The Fisher King (1991), dir. Terry Gilliam
The quest for the Holy Gift Exchange
In Search of History: The Knights Templar (1997), prod. FilmRoos Inc. for A&E Network

Parsifal: The Search for the Grail (1999), dir. Tony Palmer
Wagner enters the Grail Castle
King Arthur - The Search for the Holy Grail (2000), dir. Jens-Peter Behrend
The hidden chamber which Parsifal sought in his quest?

Low-key, low-fi Grail doc with terrible Netflix reviews, but I quite enjoyed it

Quite a lot of leaps of faith required
