There are a lot of movies like this one try, animated Fire & Ice, as someone suggested, but there are tons more, naming a few;
First Knight
Kingdom Of Heaven (Is slightly like it)
Tristan & Isolde
Dragonheart
They are the ones, I can see right now, I have large library of movies, so I don't remember them all the time.
If you're looking for mythology related sword & sorcery fantasies, try these:
Merlin (1998, originally a tv miniseries)- great movie
Merlin's Apprentice (2006) - the sequel, not quite as good
The Mists of Avalon (2001, tv)- based on Marion Zimmer Bradley's book about the Arthurian myths.
Clash of the Titans (1981) - a classic based on the Greek myths
? Jason and the Argonauts ? - I think this is the right title. Another tv movie of a few year ago. Greek myths again.
And if you've never seen it, you must watch:
MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL (1974)
A laugh-riot based on King Arthur, done by the masters of British humor.
This movie is required viewing for all science fiction / fantasy afficiandos.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Browse your video store's sci-fi section!
"It's just a flesh wound"
- the Black Knight

Nice listings here. It's cool to see works like this as films, but I think it'd also be nice if there were more television shows of this variety/quality.
If you ever check out anime, I'd recommend the series Escaflowne for anyone who likes stories of this sort.
