Top 5 Movie Swordfights

Honorable Mentions:

Pirates of the Carribean, Jack Sparrow vs. Will Turner
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill vs. Ted
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Yu Shu Lien vs. Jen Lu
Star Wars Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul
Star Wars II, Yoda vs. Count Dooku
Spaceballs, Lone Star vs. Dark Helmet, "Ah, I see your Schwartz is as big as mine"

5. Monty Python's Holy Grail, King Arthur vs. The Black Knight, Best sword fight spoof ever, "What are you going to to do? Bleed on me?"

4.Errol Flynn's Robin Hood, Robin Hood vs. Sir Guy Every fight on this list owes an homage to this fight, bar none.

3. Star Wars V, Luke vs. Vader, A classic. "Luke, I am your father"

2. Kill Bill, he Bride vs. the Crazy 88 Uma Thurman (or stunt lady Zoe Bell) kills 88 people. Absolutely bloody and incredible.

1.
Inigo vs. The Man In Black (a.k.a Wesley,) The script actually calls for this to be the second best swordfight in cinema history, the first being later in the script where Inigo defeats the Six Fingered Man; however, I believe that only this one makes my list..."Because I know something you don't know, I am not left handed"

i have a shocking addition but if you watch the movie ROLE MODELS as dumb and whatever i was expecting the movie to be it was HILARIOUS and the sword fight between the geeky kid (aka mclovin) and the King was a down right awesome sword fight; even if it was done with fake swords
