Painting but not film
The episode most often remembered by readers of Don Quixote is the instance when he attacks several windmills, thinking that they are giants. The phrase 'tilting and windmills' has come to describe anyone who engages in a well-meaning but wholly futile endeavour.

Don Quixote has provided inspiration for numerous artists and illustrators. For example, one of [[Pablo Picasso]]'s most famous works is a black and white inking of Don Quixote. However, there has never been a successful [[cinema]] adaptation. The director [[Terry Gilliam]] chronicled his unsuccessful attempts to film Don Quixote in the documentary ''Lost in La Mancha'' (2002)<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0308514/ Lost in La Mancha at IMDB.com]</ref>.
