The legend of King Arthur is very old and very established. By the time the king who saved Britain and united it was first written about, his story was already hundreds of years old. And while many of the details of his life and adventures, from the Lady of the Lake to Merlin the Magician, seem fictional some archaeologists believe that Arthur -- and much of his life -- was real.
Movies Discussed

"when I was like 13, I saw Richard Harris do Camelot at the Fox Theater in Atlanta — Chuck recalls seeing the musical Camelot performed live, which is based on the Arthurian legend."

"it was impossible for me to research this without only thinking of two things, two movies. Five on. Nope. Didn't see that one. That's good. Was that the one called King Arthur? It was a good.
