Best Low Budget B-Movie Fantasy Epic Ever?!

My vote goes to Excalibur (1981).

Oh yeah! I still remember seeing it in the theater for the first time. I was fairly young then, and was so impressed by the men in the shiny metal outfits. Years later my father and I spent a summer building a full suit of steel plate armor. That film was our inspiration.

The Director's cut takes out the ending with the S-Mart, ruining the movie for me. What makes the movie for me was that this guy was telling the story to a disinterested nightshift person... like it could be told by you or me to a friend while hanging out... then a witch comes out of no where... that's classic
