Patrick's "Best Swordplay Movies"

Add to my lists | Print this list

The best examples of screen swordplay, in the classical, duelling style. A single, really good scene is enough to make the list.

More technically, this would be rapier style swordplay, thus why I’m excluding Star Wars, Seven Samurai, Lord of the Rings and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. (The majority of these, actually, were all choreographed by Bob Anderson, who also did the Lord of the Rings films, and did Darth Vaders duels.)

However, I may have to reexamine some of the films outside the top 11, to see if they really deserve being on the list.
