A Knight's Tale (2001)
Sometimes a film is worth watching for pure entertainment value alone, rather than scrutinizing the story or it's anachronistic dialogue and soundtrack, i always find A Knight's Tale to be a simple blast of fun filled pleasure.
Heath Ledger is great as the Knight in question as is Mark Addy (Playing basically the same role as he would in the BBC'S Atlantis series some years down the line) and Paul Bettany as Chaucer who steals every scene, even those involving the sneery Rufus Sewell.
So if you want to cry piss and vinegar about the use of WWF style entrances and football crowd chants or Thin Lizzy on the soundtrack then A Knight's Tale is not for you but if you just want two hours of entertainment from a cracking cast then this film fits the bill perfectly.
