the best movies never made

It was a flop at the box office? Aw man, that sucks. That movie was really good
if it's any consolation, it's gotten revivals recently--a Netflix series and some other movies/specials, i think (at least, more Spirit stuff is on the juvenile DVD shelves at the library)

i can't speak to their quality, though
 
Godfather of New York (1972)
The rise of Lucky Luciano (Al Pacino) and his eventual defeat of Joey Massiera (Gabriele Ferzetti) and Salvatore Maranzano (Rossano Brazzi) in the Castellamarese War.

Godfather of New York: Ambition (1974)
With Lucky Luciano (now played by Burt Lancaster) now retired to Sicily, Frank Costello (Richard Conte) and Vito Genovese (Marlon Brando) battle to gain control of the New York underworld.

Godfather of New York: The Final Chapter (1976)
Despite securing his position as New York's most powerful crime boss, Vito Genovese suddenly faces new challenges as Frank Costello, with the aid of Lucky Luciano, decides to enact one last plot for revenge.

There's bound to be some jousters and reenactors who either have been knighted or have hereditary title (baronetcy has hereditary Sir associated with the title).
But some reenactors have gone through best possible replicas of the knighthood ceremonies of their period, so they can use knightly weapons (proven effective in many tales) AND have a reasonable claim to knighthood, having voluntarily chosen the path, prepared for it and been through the process. They are probably far more worthy than your former heads of paperclips and chief political donations counter that often get knighted, and are more likely to kick scaly arse when needed.

If it's not the ceremony from Danny Kay's "The Court Jester" it doesn't count :)
