Brokeback Mountain gets all the press, and I think it's a good movie with an amazing performance, and so it's worth seeing for that reason. It's not a pleasant movie, though, and Heath's character is very deliberately not very accessible or very likeable. But he vanishes into the part.
A Knight's Tale is one of my favorite movies. I know the whole thing back and forth, and movie quotes have become shorthand for complex concepts in this house. I'm glad you liked it!
