10 New Movies Bound To Become Classics

2. The Green Knight

Palm Springs

The Green Knight is one of 2021's most surprising and inventive fantasy films, which follows the nephew of King Arthur (Dev Patel) as he travels to prove himself a hero by facing the eponymous knight after a daring cross country adventure.

Based on the medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the fantasy epic is visually awe-inspiring and a startling feat of imagination, impossible to look away from as a refreshing reminder of how exciting and wild movies can be.

More impressive still is the fact that whilst The Green Knight revels in its visual appeal, it also finds the time to tackle numerous tricky themes, including masculinity and religion, with equal attention. There are few fantasy films like it, and even fewer which are as intensely re-watchable.
