I'm on an Arthurian legend kick! Merlin is my favorite character. Sadly he is not in Le Morte d'Arthur very much (which I am reading currently in English class) but there are tons of novels devoted to him, so here are my favorites:
Top left: Merlin from The Merlin Codex by Robert Holdstock. Unlike the others, he's a bit of a brat, and that's not something I'd expect from Merlin most of the time...conserves his magic just so he'll stay young. That's what I'd do, if I had it.
Top right: Myrddin Emrys from Stephen Lawhead's Pendragon cycle. This was the first Merlin I ever read about, and definitely my favorite. If I had to pick one of these for a boyfriend...
Bottom Left: Caius Merlyn Britannicus, from Jack Whyte's Camulod series. AKA, the book series I was hoping the movie King Arthur would resemble. Merlyn is all-human here, taking on the mantle of sorcerer after great personal tragedy. He looks a bit different here than how I imagined him while reading, but I wanted him to stand out compared to the others.
Bottom right: Not from a novel, but from the movie Excalibur! The best Arthur movie. Nicol Williamson is awesome and makes me giggle. He plays Merlin as such a weirdo, it's perfect.
Sam Neill's version of Merlin: NOT HERE! I hated that movie.
Have you read the 'Lost Years of Merlin' series? It's quite good.

It's been ages since I read the original trilogy, but I remember them all being solid work.

Amazing. Imma have to favorite this, and btw Gandalf and Merlin weremy heros as a kid. xD Caius Merlyn Britaccanicus is my favorite, I wish I could look like him. T_T
Williamson's Merlin is by far my fav, aside from Excalibur being awesome on every level, the way he does Merlin is so...whacked.

edit: the top right Myrddin looks like Alan Rickman.

Boorman said something like, "Nicol managed to say every vowel sound in each syllable."
Merlin: "It took me NIIEENE moons, to recover, and all for this lunacy called love, this mad distemper that strikes down both beggar and king. NNNNEVER again. Never!"
