KING ARTHUR (2004)!!! How could I forget to mention this in my list of favorite movies??? AHHHH. The best cast of knights EVER it is impossible to choose a favorite!
Thank you @missiemoosie for reminding me I am due for a rewatch of this magnificent and woefully underrated film! <3 It's so important I rectify this oversight that I'm making a new, separate post to recommend it!
I know many people take issue with the plot/premise of this adaptation, since it eliminates the magical elements, but I for one appreciated the different take on the legend. Script/story aside, the magnificent cast alone and terrific cinematography makes it well worth a watch!
To the un-initiated; behold this AMAZING CAST! (It's literally a buffet of hotties!)
Clive Owen as Arthur
Ioan Gruffudd as Lancelot
Mads Mikkelsen as Tristan
Joel Edgerton as Gawain
Hugh Dancy as Galahad
Ray Winstone as Bors
Ray Stevenson as Dagonet
Keira Knightley as Guinevere
I'm off to find posts of this to reblog now; and off to do another rewatch!

Look, I’m just saying that sometimes when you’re listening to @cinemasins while working on a commission you start wondering how much better the prequels would have been if Padme’s character wasn’t completely changed to force a romance agenda, was absolutely more gay and had the added sprinkling of Anakin just being a sperm donor. Also I never knew Keira Knightly was in Star Wars and I finished this instead of said commission.

Je me vante d'avoir grandi, mûri, vieilli dans la familiarité du vin ; à le tutoyer dès l'enfance, on perd l'esprit d'intempérance et de gloutonnerie ; on acquiert, on forme son goût personnel.
- Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette
French writer, Colette, born in the countryside, considered herself a “child of nature.” She did not try to be good, nor did she try to be particularly real or truthful. She followed her appetites and wrote about them and observed others sharply.
Her characters are driven by desire: for food, for love and money, for gratifying their vanity and buying new clothes. She flouted the conventions of her time, danced on stage, dressed like a sailor boy, wrote nasty revenge stories with unflattering portraits of her ex-husband, got fat, stayed sexual into old age.
If she had any credo, it was her commitment to art, which shows only through the beauty of her prose, since she wasn’t one to moralise or make grand statements.
Colette’s belief that art should be apolitical - that a worthy goal was “to forget reality, to promise the world miracles, to sing of victory, and to deny death” - was so strong that late in her life, during the Vichy regime in France, she deliberately published in the Nazi-controlled press, a decision for which she has been widely criticised.

Also two more things about Star Wars episode l:
1) This movie totally took advantage of the similarity of Natalia Portman and Keira Knightly. Which makes it quite unique.
2) Most likely an unpopular opinion but Jar Jar Binks is underrated. He is one of the best characters this in movie if you asked me. Always loved him, always will. Don’t know if it is because of the German dubbing, but also don't care.
