Black Knight
The 2001 Martin Lawrence comedy where a modern theme-park worker falls in a moat and wakes up in medieval England, fish-out-of-water antics ensuing. A critical flop that a whole generation still somehow watched on cable a dozen times.
Braveheart
Mel Gibson in blue face paint screaming "FREEDOM!" — the 1995 Scottish-rebellion epic that won five Oscars, launched a thousand sleepover viewings, and rewrote medieval history with total confidence.
