A Knight's Tale
Medieval rock comedy
A Knight's Tale is a 2001 film starring Heath Ledger as a medieval squire who poses as a knight to compete in jousting tournaments.
The anachronistic soundtrack and tone made it a cult favorite.
The title references Chaucer's "The Knight's Tale" from The Canterbury Tales—Chaucer himself appears as a character.
