Jean d'Arc...

I like the movie with Ingrid Berman more....even it is more hollywood'ish

Luc Bessons was partly good. After Jean's capture it got boring...

I thought the whole trial was interesting. They took most of the dialog from the acutal transcript from the real trial.

So, mine:

Braveheart!
El Cid
Joan of Arc

I used to like Robin Hood (both versions) so much, but when I saw Kevin Costner's version for the last time, I realize Robin Hood is there like a spokesman of the people who wrote the constitution of the USA.
He's very far from medieval man. But in other ways the movie is good and I still like it.

my favourite medieval movies,

Braveheart,
Excalibur,
First Knight,
Robin Hood (all of them)
and those REALLY old (50's and 60's; barely in colour) medieval movies that you occasionally see on BBC on an early afternoon in the wintertime...
cant think of any more right now..

btw; i think a 'knight's tale' really stunk.

No.....It did dissappoint me...but still fun to see....and with two beautiful women!!!! Not only the princes...but above all the girl who stays his 'friend...' *a pitty....*

That movie was just horrible.

Otherwise, I like El Cid and Excalibur, and basicly everything else that isn't too childish.

Do you mean Kagemusha ? If so, I agree...I forgot about that. Fantastic movie !

But wasn't it later than Medieval, 16th century or so?
