surdumil:
The Navigator - is amazing.  It hits you like a ton of bricks at the end.  It doesn't involve knights or pageantry or royalty.  It's about people in a village who have not yet been struck by bubonic plague.  It's about a visionary boy's imaginative story enacted as a time-travel quest-adventure to modern times.  Think of what a medieval villager would think of a submarine, a train, or a modern-day city.

<edit>
Name of the Rose - is also pretty amazing, about a Benedictine monk who is a sleuth, who winds up investigating murders at a Franciscan monastery.

Ironclad, it's pretty new and it has a lot of brutal action. It's about the struggle of a templar and a few mercenaries against King John of England.

AntiPaladin:
Uh, how about Braveheart? Nowhere near accurate, but pretty much the go-to for the time period.
