I loved Knight's Tale. It has such a sense of humor about itself, which
I'll take any day over a movie that takes itself too seriously. It was
supposed to give modern-day, non-historians a feel for how jousting was
regarded in its heyday--an exciting, hip sporting event, complete with rabid

I agree- the leading lady was SO out of period. I kept thinking one hat
