Two Thumbs - Way, Way Up

The trickiest part of asking Wilson what movie he wants to watch on "movie night" (Fridays) is figuring out what movie he is requesting. Sometimes he says the name of the movie, others he just gives us what he thinks is the plot. Here's an example and we'll see if you can figure it out.

"The one with the knights that are fighting the horses for Mexico. And then they paint."

So we're trying to think of what this is... The Alamo? No. Knight's Tale? No. "Tom Sawyer?" Wrong. He's asking for Braveheart - they're fighting on horses, their faces are painted, and we're pretty sure Wilson only knows of two countries - The U.S. and Mexico, so England and Scotland don't mean anything to him.

I'll tell you he's never seen the whole movie. I'll also tell you he's not allowed to. That doesn't stop him from asking for it, as strangely as he possibly can.
