Are there any other medieval movies out there?

Question

Are there any movies that are set in the medieval time periods like King Arthur, Knights Tale, and such?

Answer 1

Here are some good ones:

The Name of the Rose,

The Seventh Seal -

The Virgin Spring

The Reckoning

The Navigator (A Time travel movie that's fascinating as Medieval people come forward in time.)

The Devils

Braveheart

The Vikings - overacted but fun

Alfred the Great

Excalibur

Answer 2

Most medieval movies are done pretty poorly, with little regard to accuracy.



I would recommend The Lion in Winter. Not much action, it's a serious drama, but good. Also try Robin and Marian (Sean Connery), Ivanhoe (classic, goofy but kind of fun), Kevin Costner's Robin Hood, Kingdom of Heaven, Braveheart, and for laughs the Black Adder BBC series.



Surprisingly, the armor in Army of Darkness is about as accurate as any you'll find, even though the movie isn't. It's a great laugh, though.

Answer 3

Shakespeare in love, Elizabeth, Hamlet, Lord of the Rings (all 3), Chronicles of Nardia, arthur, Dragon Slayer, Dungeons and Dragons, Willow, Legend, Ever After, Lion heart and Merlin.

Answer 4

I really liked "Army of Darkness" starring Bruce Campbell. It was directed by Sam Raimi who has directed Spiderman 1 and 2 plus Evil Dead and The Quick and the Dead. Campbell plays a modern man sucked into a vortex back into the middle ages. He has with him a shotgun and a chainsaw. He helps the knights fight off monsters while he seeks a return to modern times. Lots of fun.

Answer 5

try the movie Merlin with Sam Neill, Helena Bonham Carter, John Gielgud, Rutger Haur, Miranda Richardson, Isabella Rossellini, and Martin Short

Answer 6

First Knight

Answer 7

One I always thought was interesting but just a little latter than Medieval times. "Plunket and Maclean" with Liv Tyler. Funny and interesting. Also "Dangerous Liasons" with Jon Malcovich and Glenn Close. Both of these set in 17th-18th century time frames.

Answer 8

Excalibur, First Knight

Answer 9

Excalibur, Braveheart

Lion in Winter, Becket

Camelot

Answer 10

There's this movie called Camelot. It's not a very new movie, it's a musical, and it's about King Arthur. I give it 4 and a half stars.

Also there's Timeline, that's a good movie :).

Answer 11

The Return of Martin Guerre - in French with subtitles.

It was remade and changed a lot by Hollywood - nowhere near as good.

Answer 12

I’ve done a bit of research for you – I like medieval films, too. There’s a new one of a legend, “Tristan and “Isolde”:
