Favorite Sword movie?

Movies about the Knight days, of Swords, castles, and all that g9ood stuff.

Mine would be Troy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I'd have to go with the masters of sword play ... the Japanese.

The classic Seven Samauri (1954) - Akira Kurosawa

Ya, because they only had swords in medieval times, back in the days of castles and knights and because LotR was set in medieval times It's middle earth, not medieval earth...

anyways, besides those not mentioned above, mine would be: Gladiator, monty python and the holy grail (black Knight ftw), ending scene of Rob Roy, Kill Bill, Mask Of Zorro, and The Princess Bride,

The Three Musketeers (1973)

This movie is just a heckuva lot of fun.

Other favorites:
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Jason and the Argonauts
The 7th Voyage of Sinbad

I love most of the ones already mentioned... and would also add:

Braveheart
Conan
Willow
Excalibur
King Arthur
Henry V
The Count of Monte Cristo
The Man in the Iron Mask

I'm going to put in a word for Highlander - that counts as a "sword movie", right?

(this is despite the conclusions that my friend and I have come to that the swordplay in Highlander is actually fairly poor, but what can you do)

I agree, this was a classic of classics in Sword films. I loved the faux bald heads in the movie!

How about Pirates of the Caribbean? they all have sword fighting. I also just watched in the name of king. its has lots of Sword fighing in it. I think shaiknight had some swrod fighting in it. I also the old he-man movie master of the univsers has sword fighiting in it.

Forbidden Kingdom has to be mentioned I know it is new and has only a few swords in it but the fighting in this movie is second to none.

The Count of Monte Cristo
Highlander
Princess Bride
Blade

The Sword and the Stone

There's this scene in Once Upon A Time in China with swords that was pretty good.
