I’m autistic and have suddenly developed an obsession with medieval Britain. Can anyone recommend any movies in this genre?

"A knight's tale" is wonderful and has Heath Ledger. It's comic but actually accurate in lots of respects!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is funny AF.

I’m autistic and my current thing is prison dramas.

It's a fun film if you take it at face value but I wouldn't really call it accurate. I don't even think it tried to be accurate, to be honest with you.

Maybe a bit too "modern" but I loved it: The Return of Martin Guerre.

And it is set in France - sorry, missed the Britain part!

Not a film but were the Blackadder films set in the right period?

ParvuliThankYouDebbie · 07/09/2022 21:05

Richard III (just about medieval)
The Lion in Winter
Beckett
and Braveheart obvs

Dreikanter · 07/09/2022 21:12

Kingdom of Heaven - about the Crusades.
The Lion in Winter.
Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V.

(Henry VII was the first Tudor monarch and it was around this time that marked the end of the medieval period).

The king on Netflix is really good
Not film but tv, the last kingdom is about vikings but also Alfred the great is in it so in England around that time, plus lots to watch as I think it's on series 5 now
