The Richard Thorpe 'Chivalry Trilogy' is hardly brilliant but highly watchable: Knights of the Round Table, Ivanhoe, and Quentin Durward. They sum up the lovely tales of (i) the height of Chivalry and Knighthood (Ivanhoe); (ii) its romantic-yet-tragic beginnings (Knights) and (iii) finally its bitter end (Durward, which is an underrated swashbuckler that climaxes with a sword-fight on bell ropes over a raging fire!)
