Check out "The Knights of New Jersey." It's a poke at all of us Rennies. Search the web.

A Knights Tale  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0183790/ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0183790/)  I think it was great fun. Anachronisms galore (intentional) which irked a lot of people who obviously missed the point. It is a comedy, after all.

The Lion in Winter https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063227/ (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063227/)  A more serious look at things...

Being an archer, I am partial to the 2010 version of "Robin Hood" with Russell Crowe.

I also like the 2004 "King Arthur" with Clive Owen and Keira Knightley.  It's set in the actual period that Arthur would have been king.  There's not a lot of shining armor or a Camelot stone castle.

A friend recommended Ironclad, with James Purefoy, and The War Lord, with Charlton Heston. I enjoyed both.
