Top Ten films about the Middle Ages (part 2)

I decided to create a list of my favorite films based on the medieval period. Most of them are just a cinematic experience and don't offer a real look to the period, so this is just for the movies, not for the real history (some historians say the middle ages didn't exist, and that this centuries are just an extension of antiquity). Well in this first part you will find 5 movies:

5.- "Kingdom of Heaven"
4.- "Henry V"
3.- "The Message"
3.- "The Seventh Seal"
1.- "The Name of the Rose"

I'm sorry i didn't mention in the video nothing about the music: Well this comes from the album "Gagaku", from Kunaicho Gakubu, and the name of the track is "Etenraku". I hope you like, please comment!!!!!

In the case of Braveheart and Jean d' Arc (I imagine you're talking about Luc Besson's Version), i prefer this movies. About Excalibur: i tried to use movies based in real facts and people (kind of, with the exception of Ladyhawke, in the first part), and Excalibur is based in the arthur's myth: a Legend). I'm not saying the movies is bad, i love it, in fact i have it in anoter clip i created about epic fantastic movies.

@milas1976 Kingdom of Heaven was more accurate than a lot of medieval movies... Nobody ever rags on Braveheart or for that matter, "Robin Hood" (talk about "in name only")

[ijwi]

Braveheart is overrated and more historically inaccurate than many of the others.

There've been a million films about Joan of Arc, many of them bad... be specific?

Game of Thrones is set in a fantasy world but is based on the War of the Roses...
