Your Favorite Medieval Movie

[Truck_1_0_1_]

European Medieval or any Medieval?

If any:

- A Knight's Tale (a silly film and not to be taken too seriously, but a great film to enjoy and Heath Ledger is awesome as always)
- Blade of the Immortal (Japanese Film, based off an anime; the plot is not historically realistic, but they get the clothing, settings and weapons down perfectly; Takuya Kimura is awesome as well)
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (not a big Wuxia fan {and I still find the way they, "run in the air," hilarious}, but a phenomenal film, definitely worth the hype. Yun-Fat Chow is great here, as are Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang)
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail (as we talked about in the Comedy thread, a great film and a great laugh. Again, historically not accurate, but they get everything right! Love the setting of the film)
- The Black Cauldron (blamed for Disney almost going bankrupt in the 80s, it is not a bad film in the slightest and it too, gets the setting downpat and its eeriness/mature{ish} subject matter is great to watch)
- The Admiral: Roaring Currents (so damn awesome, a Korean film that retells the battle of Myeongyang {sp?}, between Admiral Yi Sun-Shin and the Japanese Navy, which is so legendary it is almost unbelievable. Sik-Min Choi shows off his chops in this film, my wife even liked it)
- Seven Samurai (almost anything Kurosawa from feudal Japan could go here, but his best is still THE best. IMO, this is the greatest film ever crafted)
- Silence (also Feudal Japan; this film moved me like few before ever have, a powerful and wonderful masterstroke of filmmaking. Scorsese should get boosted for this film, not his run-of-the-mill DeNiro flicks from the 70s/80s or the Departed)

Of course, anything by Umberto Eco will be great
