John Boorman's utterly mad retelling/adaptation of the Arthurian legends (specifically Malory's The Morte d'Arthur), hitting all the key points of the tales:

Arthurs parentage via Uther and Ygraine
The whole 'Sword in the Stone' business
Merlin
Guinevere
Arthur's marriage
Lancelot
The Lady of the Lake (Listen, just 'cos some watery tart chucked a sword at you ...)
Guinevere And Lancelot's, ummm, dalliance
Morgana
The Search for the Holy Grail ("there's some lovely mud over here ...")
Mordred
Arthurs death
Avalon

(I'm not sure I've got all those in the right order)

Also starring some then up-and-coming but now well-known faces in Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson, this is also surprisingly brutal, with some full-on nudity scenes, with the entire film acting as a counterpart (of sorts) to the Monty Python version - parts of which I've quoted above.

I've lost track of how many Marvel movies there are - we must be into our 20s at least by now!

And, unfortunately, I found this one of the weakest so far, despite the 'star power' that it includes in its cast (most woefully the massively underused Salma Hayek or Angelina Jolie), with its large cast of central character - 10, I think - all on the earth since millennia BC, all un-aging (and the inspiration for our myths and legends) and all massively bored.

Which, unfortunately, is how I felt for large parts of the movie - it actually took me several attempts to make it the whole way through (watched in Disney+).

I've heard it works better the second time around, once you know a few key plot points and details, but I'm not in any hurry for a rewatch,
