Yes, I saw it the first time round (i.e 1970s) , and I own the DVD already thank you 8)
Even that's not authentic artefact wise - me eyes winced a bit on 2nd viewing, with the dubious benefit of 25 years of archaeology behind me. But, in setting and spirit it comes the closest by miles. Safe to say, the 1970s were a golden era for the portrayal of the Dark Ages. In fact the 1970s were a sort of Dark Age anyway, so they were drawing on actual close knowledge
Nope, I'm still waiting for something spot on, and the ludicrous King Arthur film set an all time low, which is why I'm worried about kicking the bucket before anything 'proper' appears.
