It came out in the 70's. It is about a small remote village that had escaped the plague and violence of the middle ages by keeping its existence secret. I remember I loved the movie. I'd like to find it. Any ideas? I’m trying to find a movie set in the middle ages. It came out in the 70′s.

Ive watched it so many times, especially the dance to Golden Years. I love these movies but A Knights Tale was one of the most fresh ideas to come along in a long time.

I was going to add that its time frame is outside the medieval era, since King Arthur's reputed existence was around the sixth century CE. But then, I've included Beowulf, which also pre-dates the Middle Ages by a mere 400 years. Yes, I had forgotten Excalibur, which I loved.

True, Gladiator is an amazing film but doesn't qualify for the medieval period. It takes place in the late part of the first century CE ... the medieval years don't get rolling for another 900 years or so. Keep those suggestions rolling in, folks!

This is a definitive classic of the era, and an awesomely fun film to boot. I'd definitely put it up there to compete with such "greats" as "A Knight's Tale"... :P What about 1981′s Exalibur, directed by John Boorman?

I loved the Beowulf film too, but I'm interested to know in what way you find the story similar to Arthurian legends and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight?

But yes, Hepburn and O'Toole are real gems in that film. Thanks for chipping in, EvilMammoth! Didn’t realize that was Hopkins’ film debut! But yes, Hepburn and O’Toole are real gems in that film.
