Look up best sabre duel on youtube, you should get a clip from a Polish film called Deluge. One of these guys can really fence!

VERY nice!!! Lots of editing there, and a LOT of movie watching too! LOL

Chris said...

What, no Scaramouche? Inconceivable!

I did not know The Deluge had been made into a movie. Great book.

Jim said...

I was hoping The Court Jester would make the cut.

Paul from Canada said...

Glad to see The Duelists getting some exposure. My favorite movie

I watched the vid before I read the list, and there were only a handful I didn't instantly recognize. Going down the list, there are only five I haven't seen....
Not sure if that's good or bad :-)
Some great flicks, though, and some real classics.
