Does anyone know any movies, books, paintings or sculptures that depict knights, ladies, chivalry....etc?

Don't say A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger.

Points if you're really helpful.

I'm not really sure if that's what you're looking for or not.

I keep trying to get movies, but the only ones I can think of are parodies, and I'm pretty sure that's not what you want/need.

Trying to rid you from my bones

We have EXCALIBUR (1981, IMDB rating 7.4) which pictures the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

And 2 versions of famous Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail (1996, IMDB rating 8.7) and its original 1975 version (IMDB rating 8.5) should be mentioned.

Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven is a recent movie (2005) so I believe most people will remember.

Timeline which was also a novel of famous Michael Crichton, is also one of my favorites. It tells a time travel story in which a group of archaeological students travel to 14th century France and find themselves in the mediaval times with their only hope of survive is their knowledge about middle age times. Was an excellent story altough movie was not that successful.

From old movies, I recall THE BLACK KNIGHT (1954), KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE (1954), PRINCE VALIANT (1954), CAMALOT (1967).

Another film is "The Mists of Avalon" which is based on the 1979 novel by Marion Zimmer Bradley, in which she relates the Arthurian legends from the perspective of the female characters. (from Wikipedia) It tells the story of the women behind King Arthur; including his mother, Igraine; his half-sister, Morgaine; his aunt Viviane, the Lady of the Lake; and his wife, Gwenwyfar.
