• At the end of the film when the first part of the Carmina Burana' is playing and the land is blooming because Arthur has drunk of the Grail and relearned that he and the land are one, so he and his knights ride out for one final battle. I choke up every time.
  • pretty much the last 10 minutes of the film. Starting with the above mentioned scene it is just straight-up awesome. Merlin coming back as a dream, Merlin's vengeance on Morganna, the battle, Lancelot being a badass one last time, Arthur and Mordred killing each other(including the marvelous line: "come father, let us embrace at last"), and of course Percival throwing Excalibur into the lake and then seeing Arthur being carried away All toped off by that shot of the lady of the lake holding Excalibur with the sun rising in the distant and accompanied by "The Death of Siegfried" from Wagner's Twilight of the Gods = one of the best shot scenes this troper has ever seen in a film and simply pure awesomeness.
