In addition to the materials and links on this site,we commend the following movies for your consideration: Sword in the Stone - a Disney cartoon classic for younger students. G Camelot - this is the great romantic musical version of the tale - mildly suggestive. G 1967 Knights of the Round Table - this is the classical treatment similar to the story line of Le Morte d'Arthur, contains several battle scenes. G 1954 Excalibur - for mature students, this movie is somewhat graphic in content and contains undertones of Hindu philosophy. PG
