Medieval movies
Castles, tournaments, sieges and kings you should not trust.
Swords, mail, mud and politics — on screen the Middle Ages can be a chivalric romance or a brutal chronicle. Here are historical epics about crusades and royal wars, Arthurian legends, and stories of people simply trying to survive an age when steel settled everything. The IMDb floor is 6.5.
