The Vikings is wonderful; so is The Long Ships, with Richard Widmark. The real classic is The Seventh Seal -- one of my five favorite films of all time. I also loved Preminger's Saint Joan, based on the play by GB Shaw.
There are loads of books. One oldie but goodie about the Crusades by Frank Yerby is called "The Saracen Blade" -- love, sex, betrayal, an unusual hero, and loads of good period research in warfare, dress, and the like. Another wonderful oldie, which I think is still in print, is Anya Seton's "Katherine," about the mistress and later wife of John of Gaunt (Duke of Lancaster). Amazingly researched detail and good old-fashioned historical romance writing.
You should all check out the series of books written by Rosemary Sutcliff about the early centuries of the British Isles. They are for young adults, but don't let that stop you. Amazing level of research and clean, bold characters, and exciting plot writing. Most are out of print, but libraries have them. The best was "The Hound of Ulster," a retelling of the Cuchullain legend that will have you in shreds by the end.
