First Knight (1995)

A retelling of the Arthurian legend that eschews much of the lore so that it can push the love triangle to the fore. Alas, the majority of what was removed was useful, weighty stuff that gives the story both its epic feeling and magical spark, and the love story alone has problems. One third of which is Arthur, already an aged King with all the drama of his rise to power left unsaid, betrothed to Genevieve (Julia Ormond), young enough to be his granddaughter, when the film begins. And finally, the dashing but disruptive swordsman Lancelot, the film's 'first knight', is a passionless Richard Gere.
Costumes and settings are pretty to look at, and there's a wonderful round table scene, but it's primarily Connery as the pained (Scottish) British King in the latter half that gives the film anything of note in the acting department.
