Just seen DRAGONSLAYER on AMC the other night. It is a good movie with some good scenes and a nice female actress.Here is a list of some of my favorite Medieval Times(lets not be exact here on the dates).Lets go a step further and add swashbuckling films, ancient times films, and monastic films, dictator films, and roller derby, westerns, and WWII Why? I don't know.

Excaliber
Army of Darkness
Robin Hood (original)
Name of the Rose
Conan the Barbarian
Black Robe
Moon over Parador
Walker
The Man Who Would be King
Rob Roy
The Three Musketeers (the one made in the early 70's)
Brother Sun, Sister Moon
Henry the IV(?)
The Magnificient Seven
KC Bomber
Rollerball
Mountains of the Moon
Ran
Quo Vidas
The Vikings(Kirk Douglas?)
Dead Man
Apocolypse Now

You could add Terry Gilliam's "Time Bandits" to that list as it covers Medieval times to present day (well the 80's) stopping at fantasy and swashbuckling on the way.

Fritz did you ever see THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHASEN? It reminds me a little of TIME BANDITS.

Fritz

Baron Munchausen was a great film (nerd fact: Michele 'Stagefright' Soavi was 2nd unit director on it,) the only thing that let it down for me was the fact Robin Williams was in it thankfully not for very long. I havn't seen a bad Gilliam film yet.

"The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" is one of my favorite "quirky" films.  It is a series of intertwined skits, like most of Gilliam's work.  Of course, having Uma (looking as she did) didn't hurt either.

The DVD set of "Brazil" is fantastic by the way.

What does not kill me makes me stranger.

This has to be the biggest necro of a thread in the entire history of Internet.  :bouncegiggle:
