There's a mix of quality here. Originally i started out with just the ones i would recommend, and i really don't like Braveheart at all- the style as much as historical content..
Is Braveheart really not on here? I want to see these movies but Braveheart's not here to contrast them with.
"Que Farei Eu com Esta Espada?", "Veredas" and "Silvestre", all from João César Monteiro, are medieval tales too. Could you add it?
terrific compilation!... may i suggest two more period pieces?... THE NAME OF THE ROSE ('86) - Jean-Jacques Arrnaud and the newer version of ROBIN HOOD ('10) - Ridley Scott; for a different slant on how Robin earned the legendary status (beautiful cinematography, too).
What a great list - shame it's so short! Kenji, what film is that top picture from? How about adding Huston's A Walk with love and death? or Breillat's delicious Bluebeard? Although the switching to modern times may disqualify it. It is such a pity that Borowczyk's Blanche isn't on here either...
THE NAME OF THE ROSE should be on the list. Also both Welles' & Polanski's MACBETH.
Knights of the Teutonic Order needs to be added to the Auteurs,immediately!!!
