TRIVIA---FIRST KNIGHT was a retelling of the legend of King Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot and starred Sean Connery, Richard Gere and Julia Ormand. Director Jerry Zucker half-jokingly described the movie as being a, "debacle".
Zucker said about Jerry Goldsmith's score, "Maybe the outstanding thing about this movie was Jerry Goldsmith's score...Too bad. Had it been a better movie, he probably would have been nominated [for an Academy Award]...I think this was a beautiful score."
Goldsmith replaced the departed Maurice Jarre at the last minute and had only 3 1/2 days to record the score.

Call me crazy but I've always thought First Knight to be a terrific movie. Well made and a marvelous Goldsmith score. Yes, Gere is miscast but he does well enough in the role. I watch it often on DVD.
Same here. Always liked this take on the Arthurian legend. What I love about that particular visual approach is that they went the opposite direction as other modern depictions of the "Middle Ages". While others got "darker" and "grittier" and "more realisitc", "First Knight" continued the idealized and non-historical portrays of medieval chivalry of such monumental films as "Ivanhoe" or "Knights of the Round Table".
Goldsmith' score is one of my favorites.
You are persons of taste and good breeding!
Btw Jerry's score.made my Top Forty list!

I'm interested to see The Lighthouse. The Witch was pretty good.
Catch-22 looks like it has a chance of being a decent adaption, going off the trailer.
I'm a.bit worried it'll.be like one of those Clooney - Coen bros films
