A Knight's Tale.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
That film has absolutely no right being anywhere near as good as it actually is! On paper, it sounds utterly atrocious. But damn it's an excellent film!

300 was in large parts pretty interesting and in large parts almost unwatchable especially the narration.
And if you would gather a military historian, a professional animal trainer, a guy with a time machine and an actual elephant that all would try to convince me that it is possible to drive an elephant over a cliff like that, I still wouldn't buy it.

Until you get to the end of the film and realize that it's literally a propaganda story told to pump up the other Spartans before the next battle. And the sequel has a nice touch of showing the Spartans as arrogant pricks from the perspective of the Athenians. Both movies make extremely good use of unreliable narrators.

That depends on how much the narrator is going on your nerves and how desperately you want him to shut up.

Just watched Rise of an Empire.
Meh.
Not as good as the first, and kept feeling like 'oh, it's the end? No wait there's more. Of the same. Oh'

Hope the new job goes well! It is usually a breath of fresh air to get into something different.
