Kingdom of Heaven

This may be the first hippie war film, a peace-espousing flower child that gleefully takes up arms. Set during the Crusades, it has as its hero (Orlando Bloom) the knight charged with defending Jerusalem and keeping the peace between Christians and Muslims. Fortunately for director Ridley Scott – whose Gladiator turned bursts of violence into things of beauty – this involves plenty of head-lopping.
