I recently watched a 1950's film with Errol Flynn called The Warriors and it a film set during the 100 Years War. And Errol Flynn played Prince Edward son of the King. And it had some good moments showing Mounted Knights etc so I was thinking about other films set during the Hundered Years War. I've seen other films like Joan of Arc and Henry V(multiple films)and I might've seen others but don't remember them and I do like the period so can some of you come up with a list of some of the better films to watch of this period? Thanks

The War Lord link
Chimes at Midnight link both released in 1965! Shakespeare's Henry V or the various Joan of Arc movies. El Cid has its moments. There's also been some decent TV series such as Ivanhoe, Cadfael & Robin of Sherwood. |

Kingdom of Heaven and Arn the Knight Templar have a real feel for medieval battle, even though both are about The Crusades. |

Have you not seen Ironclad? It's the Saving Private Ryan of medieval combat. YouTube link |

Ivanhoe. 1952, 1982,and 1997. I'm partial to the 1997 version myself. Also Richard III, I had to watch for a college History of Britain class, many moons ago. |

Cornel Wilde's "Sword of Lancelot" has a pretty massive battle sequence,for 1963. It starts at about 2:00 in this bleeding chunk: youtu.be/jWqnn9YLgBY Not Medieval, but watch his "Naked Prey",if you've never seen it. Brutal. |

Kingdom Of Heaven, Arn The Knight Templar and the Ironclad Series, all of them are awesome. |

The only medieval movie really worth the effort is Holy Grail…..RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY! |

I would kill for a TV series about War of the Roses with the budget and acting of GoT. Also as cheesy and inaccurate as it is, gotta love Braveheart. The 2000's was a beautiful time for historical war movies. All we get now days is Star Wars sequels and Super Hero movies. |

Kingdom of Heaven--the Directors Cut does a much better job of storytelling and filling in the holes than the original release. One of my very favorite movies. |

For something similar to GOT but covering War of the Roses try the new BBC Hollow Crown serias. Its the Bard's version – so plenty of fiction – but costuming and armor are good (better than GOT) but battles a bit small due to budget constraints. TomT |

I got Ironclad and watched it and I must say it's very bloody but I did like the film and it had a good cast as well. Michael |

A show that came on last year which was pretty good but not renewed for a second season was "The Bastard Executioner"… |
| maverick2909 | 11 Oct 2016 11:47 a.m. PST |
TomT, I saw that one on Amazon prime and have been meaning to watch it. I'll have to give it a go! |
| Captain Gideon | 11 Oct 2016 3:34 p.m. PST |
Stepman3 I was just talking to a friend of mine about The Bastard Executioner but I've not seen it myself. |

The Court Jester (Danny Kaye) "The chalice from the palace has the brew that is true". But seriously, Alexander Nevski and the Warlord. |

Not exactly medieval but "Flesh and Blood" also titled "the sword & the Rose" is pretty good but it's a little later chronologically. |
gets medieval.
