In Sweden we have the tradition to always watch Ivanhoe on New Years Day. Sam Neill even jokes about this on Twitter. So I have done this since I was 6 years old (I'm turning 44 in a couple of weeks) and every year I promise myself not to cry- every year I fail. This is the movie where everybody chooses the wrong person to love. Without spoiling the plot I will say that they all could have made more thrilling choises. I love the whole storyline, and underdog hero is of course the medieval slacker Athelstane.
