The movie sounds really good and I love Errol Flynn...but the price is a little to high for my tastes.

I like the 'Game of Thrones" series if you haven't seen it.

Game of Thrones is a good series thus far, although they do depart from the source material in certain elements, it does nothing to take away from the overall story.

The Director's cut of KoH is a much better film overall, and as I said, it makes more sense than the theatrical version.  I understand that certain cast members lobbied for the DC to make it to video as it is more cohesive as a whole.  If you like Templars in film, Arn Tempelriddaren is an excellent one.

Speaking of Arn, the complete series (not the 50% reduced US version) is available now.

ARN The Knight Templar - The Complete Series:

Blu-Ray: http://amzn.com/B007K7IB84
DVD: http://amzn.com/B007K7IB9I

Running time is over 4 hours. I think they divided it up into 6 episodes.

Hi,
I ran the title through search and nothing cam up so I hope this is not a repeat but if you have not seen The 1968 classiThe Lion in Winter you have never seen the best medieval movie. It is the story of Henry II and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine. it is superbly written,  sublimely directed and acted by some of the best artist who have ever been filmed. It stars Peter O' Toole, Katherine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins as Richard I (first movie role) and Timothy (James Bond) Dalton as Phillip II. While it is a fictionalized account of the times I think it captures them very well.

I'll have to check my long list of movies to see if I already have it. But the stars involved are awesome, so if I don't have it, I'll get it. Thanks for the info.

Too bad you guys don't have time to make the movie I made a script and costumes for, about knights. I already made one about knights, which I am going to show at my knighting.

I am, your most obedient servant,

Another film that really sets a great 14th century atmosphere is The Name of the Rose, with Sean Connery.
