1998 Merlin (Hallmark channel)
I used to love this movie

Particularly because back in the days of expensive dial up I still watched TV. We didn't have HBO, so I watched a lot of hallmark. I really like Miranda Richardson, Martin Short and of course - Sam Neil. I liked Miranda in their version of Alice in Wonderland too.

I do remember this. I didn't care for it. It was a bit too silly for my tastes. I also remember a scene or two with Miranda in which the film was speeded up and she was moving around like the Keystone Kops. I liked Sam Neil, but that was about it.
