#5 King Aurthur vs. The Black Knight - Monty Python's Holy Grail 1975
One of the best examples of why swords are NOT toys. Don't believe me? Just ask the Black Knight (although he may simply
claim it's just a flesh wound!)

#4 Jack Sparrow vs. Will Turner - Pirates of
the Caribbean:
The Curse of the Black Pearl 2003
Great fight
with lots of movement! One of the high points of the movies. Also, this serves as one of the few swordfights that
women will enjoy as well. There are few women that are bothered by a sweaty Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.

#3 Yu Shu Lien vs. Jen Yu - Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon 2000
C'mon, two
women getting it on and fighting like that has to make anyone's list. To be honest, many scenes from this movie could easily
make the list. I chose this scene because I loved how Yu Shu Lien cycled through all available weapons in her failed attempt
at victory.

#2 Westley vs. Inigo Montoya - The Princess Bride
1987
One of the
greatest fights from one of the greatest movies. Any time you can get Andre' the Giant in your film, AND can secure the Cliffs
of Insanity as a shooting location, you cannot lose. Another film with great action scenes, but my favorite will always be
this swordfight.

#1 The Bride vs. The Crazy 88's - Kill Bill:
Vol. 1
More action,
more blood, more carnage and more weapon wielding schoolgirls than I could hope for! This is the pinnacle of excess in cinema
and I will always love this movie for that. This movie and it's sequel may be my favorite pair of action movies ever!

What??? No light sabers???
I decided to create a list completely dedicated to the light saber battles.
