    In what order (and please add your own or anything missed to this list)?

    (imho Lord of the Rings is fantasy but its so good at siege -- so it will be disqualified because we dont have magic and dragons in ME, and for those about to argue we will also not include Willow because it had humans turned into pigs)
    (so the movie has to be medieval era which we will call 500 a.d. to 1500 a.d. for no academic purpose, and limit to EU because that is the architecture skin for ME - which would blow my mind if Keen put out like a Saracen version, or Korean... something medieval but not EU)(hey Keen, gunpowder canons were seen in Italy in the 1320s if you want to add some!)

    Kingdom of Heaven (this is my #1 vote because it covers so much on the siege of Jerusalem - trebuchets, walls, siege towers, etc.)

    Holy Grail (it has to be in the list, if it is not in the list i quit)

    Flesh and Blood (i cannot tell you enough this is my point about the value of Viking aggro players, griefers almost, who are like the characters in this movie -- someone should be probing all your castle for gaps to enter, it just doesnt mean they have to destroy everything, they get in through the chimney?)

    Ivanhoe

    Ironclad

    Timeline

    Excalibur

    Robin Hood

    The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc

    The 13th Warrior (talk about an example of palisades viking defense like? and what a horrible foe probing that defense feels like from inside the walls, this is my #2)

    Black Death

    [and not relevant but if anyone asks me about siege i always, always, think of Zulu, The Green Berets, and Platoon which means an african vietcong would destroy me on sight. IMHO. Zulu still freaks me out and i consider it still the best -- ignoring era. that list ignoring era would be much greater obviously.]
