Oh Lord. I've just seen a trailer on TV for a new movie opening next week, Tristan and Isolde. From the looks of it, it's probably dreadful. I hate it when anyone takes history and/or mythology and tries to make it all sexy and rock'n'roll (the soundtrack for this movie includes such musical luminaries as Evanescence and Gavin DeGraw, apparently) so it will appeal to the 'yoof'. Yuck.
The story of Tristan and Isolde is one of my old favourites, too - and it's been the basis for several wonderful, imaginative novels.
