This one came in already wearing different clothes. The cassette is a commercial release — factory pressed, SP mode, 134 minutes — but it's riding in a Memorex sleeve that was never its original home. Somewhere between 1995 and now, it got separated from its case and picked up a spare.
First Knight is the kind of film that lived on cable for years after its theatrical run. A big-budget Arthurian romance from the peak of mid-90s studio filmmaking, with a cast that should not have worked as well as it did. Connery's Arthur isn't the young warrior king — he's already the institution, already tired, already watching the thing he built start to crack. That tension carries the whole film.

Pending review. Pre-recorded retail release, widely distributed — but that doesn't make it less worth having on the shelf. The archive holds movies the way libraries hold books: not because they're rare, but because physical media is the format they were meant to be experienced in.
