Quite rewatchable, but not on a dark knight, patriot, tombstone, or even sandlot level.

The blacksmith is 5x more attractive than the princess. Their roles should have been reversed.

One of my favs for sure, so I'll say yes. One of those great afternoon nap movies too.

It’s aged very well over the years.

But greatest? Nope.

It’s one of the best, most creative movies in a long time. What even is it, a rock dramedy? Such a fun, enjoyable movie.

I notice you didn't mention Shannyn Sossamon, the pooly animated wooden doll of a love interest.

Have never watched it mostly because it was only available on VHS fullscreen when I had the chance to watch it.

Was she hotter in A Knight’s Tale or in 40 Days and 40 Nights?

I took a train from DC back to New Orleans not too soon after 9/11.

In my cabin, they had a small TV that played four movies back to back to back:

Legally Blonde
Evolution
Cats and Dogs
A Knight's Tale

I probably watched those movies 3 times during the 28 hour trip.
Knights Tale was the best of the bunch.

Movie was as metro sexual as a medieval movie could be.

One of the more unique movies to have come out. Sometimes it takes itself too seriously but most of the time it’s just fun.

One of my favorites that I rewatch frequently. It’s a near perfect movie. That era also produced “10 Things I Hate About You” and “The Replacements” which I hold in similar esteem, but “A Knight’s Tale” is in its own league.

It’s one of those movies that I will watch with a girl who I’ve been dating for a month or two. If they don’t like it, I know we won’t be compatible.
