"To defend what can become" - I like that. That sums up Camelot. And I'm with Moi on John Boorman's Excalibur. I love that movie even though they all have Candian accents.
Boxer, Agreed. Even Mermaid sighs over Connery who is surely her grandfathers age.
Aunty, I love Connery even when I don't like the movie. (I did like Entrapment) I even liked him old, sick and agoraphobic in Finding Forrester.
Arthur won my heart at 12 and has yet to relinquish his hold.
Troll, Your comment actually did make me laugh aloud. Very old school... isn't Merlin ageless? :-)
Moi, The Merlin trilogy from Mary Stewart still rank among my all time favorites. I once yearned for the trilogy movies but ultimately realized they could never be as fine as the visions in my head, created by Stewart's genius.
A few years back I gave Mermaid the trilogy, I am not sure she has even read them. She never mentioned them again so it is doubtful.
Buzz, It is a fine concept. Maybe even especially suitable for a Scout leader! I adopted this creed when I applied to Art School and was accepted. I was determined to fight for and protect what I could become.
Sigh. It is tragic to think honor, goodness and, even just noble striving, is lost in America today.
@ Grumpy Granny: I have a first edition Sutcliff Sword at Sunset (the one with that terrific cover) and I can't believe I have never cracked it. Is it good?

Did'ja see the one wif' Katherine Zeta Jones whar' he taught her to be a thief?
I luv Arthur too.
Very nice Old School theme. Really really OLD School.
I loved the Mary Stewart Merlin books! Highly underrated in the genre. My favorite movie treatment was John Boorman's Excalibur. Beautifully shot.

The Mary Stewart Merlin books are some of my all time favorite reading.
Have you read The Mists of Avalon? Or "The Sword at Sunset" by Rosemary Sutcliffe?
I've been an Arthur/Merlin fan since before I can remember. Was I there? Maybe.
And Sean Connery, well. I may be a lesbian but I'm not dead!
