....would be a bit ridiculous, But how many other great historical films are there based in the middle ages? Braveheart is truly a great film (despite being 'a little' inaccurate) - more so for Longshanks than Mr Wallace - The bit where The King throws Piers Gaveston out the window is hilarious.
Kingdom of Heaven is also a pretty good medieval era movie - the siege battle scenes are epic.
Roman and early modern history are served well by cinema and television (there have been entire series based in Rome, Napoleonic eras etc) but the middle ages has been a bit short changed in my opinion.
Robin Hood (the Errol Flynn one of course) is also magnificent - especially the feasting bits!
The timeless Kirk Douglas/Tony Curtis 'The Vikings' is a bit early and the more recent King Arthur (dodgy acting but great atmosphere) is also in a Dark Ages setting. Can anyone recommend any other medieval-era movies? Ive probably missed some obvious ones
