A Knights Tale (2001). Sits in kind of a weird space, and didn’t do great critically. A loose retelling of a story from The Canterbury Tales set in the 1300s but with modern references and music. A lot of it feels formulaic.
Yet I think the movie is great. There’s some amazing chemistry between the actors (Heath Ledger, Alan Tudyk, Paul Bettany, Mark Addy, Rufus Sewell). The story may be a bit easy to predict sometimes, but the emotional beats hit incredibly hard. I can’t really describe why it works, because it probably shouldn’t.
