The only one I have that even comes close is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Well, MUSKETEERS doesn't really fit in the fantasy genre, and HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD isn't medieval, but the fact that we're already stretching for suggestions illustrates just how piss-poor this genre really is. Maybe LORD OF THE RINGS will kick off a whole new slew?

I'll add Lucio Fulci's CONQUEST to the short list. It was recently leaked as an upcoming Blue Underground title, and it's probably the best of the Italian CONAN THE BARBARIAN knock-offs.

Definately Excalibur. I'd also vote for Brotherhood of the Wolf, assuming it still qualifies as 'Medieval'.

And I'm surprised we've gotten this far without anyone mentioning Army of Darkness.

What was fantastical about A Knight's Tale? Also, I'd put Lord of the Rings way above Excalibur.

Right now, probably Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

When I get them, it will be the three seasons of Robin Of Sherwood (R2).

I haven't seen it yet, but I've got it on order from Wal-Mart.com. I hear it's supposed to be good stuff.
