10. Gawain Accepts Death - The Green Knight

A bit of a sleeper hit from 2021, The Green Knight is a medieval fantasy epic based on a 14th Century poem. Before you baulk at the phrase "14th Century poem", hear us out, it's a good movie.

It stars Dev Patel as Gawain, a nobleman who enters into a deadly bargain with the eponymous Green Knight.

The bargain is that he who lands a blow on the Knight shall receive his powerful green axe, on the condition that he take an identical blow in one year's time. "Easy," thought Gawain "I'll just chop his stupid green head off and then I won't have to take the blow!"

Sadly for Gawain, this is exactly what he does, only for the immortal Knight to pick up his head and walk away. See you in a year!

The rest of the film is Gawain's quest to find the Knight. He originally tries to cheat death, but soon succumbs to his destiny and makes amends with the situation he has made for himself.

The film ends with Dev Patel getting his head lobbed off, which is a weird thing to think of as a happy ending, but it is one. Honest.
