Ivanhoe (1982)
refers to the VHS version

I love this movie. Everyone is playing larger than life, but that's fine with me. Olivia Hussey is wonderful as Rebecca. Anthony Andrews is great in any period part (or any other, for that matter). It took me a few viewings to figure out that that really was Sam Neill, as he's not as understated as I'm used to seeing him play. Lysette Anthony is pretty as Ivanhoe's love, if a bit less convincing as someone who would cause him to be faithful to her forever. The Black Knight coming to Ivanhoe's rescue is an interesting move. Basically everything that one other reviewer hated most about this movie were the things I liked the best.
If they would put this out on DVD I'd be extremely happy.
