Heath Ledger as William Thatcher looking angrily at a person offscreen in A Knight's Tale
Heath Ledger's career may have been tragically short, but the star wasted no time making his mark on 21st Century cinema throughout the 12 years and 18 films he appeared on our screens. While the Joker in Christopher Nolan's landmark superhero film The Dark Knightremains his signature role, he has a wealth of standout performances to pick from. 2001 was an especially strong year for him, with both Monster 's Ball and A Knight's Tale gracing theaters.
Part of what makes Helgeland's fantasy adventure stand out is its anachronistic style. William's adventure is scored by classic rock tracks, while the characters make references far beyond the time of the Dark Ages. It's also structured more like a sports underdog movie than anything with a ragtag group brought together to defeat a detestible, scenery-chewing villain.
A Knight's Tale is available to stream on Paramount+. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on the biggest films coming and going from streaming.
