I love EXCALIBUR, but that is a very silly scene. She's nekkid, he's in full armor...it would be like straddling a garbage can.

It's probably for the best that Argento didn't make a movie with Klaus Kinski...
I'd have been interested in seeing what Boorman's Lord of the Rings would have looked like.
I don't know if it was so much the rights that were the problem. Boorman's attempt to make Lord of the Rings became Bakshi's, basically. Apparently it condensed all three books into one two hour film and Bakshi was pretty appalled from reading it
Bakshi's movie was actually more faithful to Tolkien than Peter Jackson's films were but really doesn't do it for me aesthetically, Boorman's movie would have been far less faithful but would have been a much richer aesthetic experience, I'd say.
