Viking films?

It's so hard to come by it makes The Vikings (1958) with Kirk Douglas still the best Viking movie today, even if it's over 50 years old.
Prince Valiant adaptations usually have Vikings too.
Looking up Viking stuff on imdb, I came across the title of a series: Tales of the Vikings (1959). Considering the date, probably something surfing on the 1958 movie's success. Anyone seen it?

Beowulf and Grendel is probably the most accurate...right down to the smallish horses.
Parts of it are really good (some of the dialog and smaller scenes are inspired) but some of it makes no sense at all.
Still, worth a watch.

Outlander isn't bad either for a relatively low budget film.
It's a standard monser flick (Alien or Predators), but it's set in viking times.
Enjoyable if you don't go in expecting too much.

I honestly didn't like Pathfinder. Bad dialog, standard Frazetta fantasy design.

Along with Zemeckis' Beaowulf, those are the only fairly new viking flicks I know of.

No boy.
This is no day to be close to land.

valhalla rising is a great new viking film, but as mentioned its very dark and not exactly heavy on the dialoug, but defenitly one of the most interesting films ive seen the last couple of years!

@ darkstrolm et al.: new viking movie on its way, starring Alexander Skarsgard. Just read that on the True Blood board.

I'm a bit put off by the fact the script apprently centers around Vikings in North America yet again (à la Pathfinder and Valhalla Rising), it's as if the Vikings never did anything interesting or movie-worth besides stumbling upon the New World. I wish we had something about Greenland or Iceland. especially Greenland, as I think it has all the right stuff to make a great, poignant story. But as said elsewhere by many, we just don't have enough Viking movies, so I'll take anything.

BTW, has anyone here seen the movie with Daniel Craig and aliens? What was it like?

"Occasionally I'm callous and strange."

Channel 4 in England did a TV miniseries called "1066 The Battle for Middle Earth" about the battle of Hastings.

It's from the viewpoints of the Britains, the Normans and the Vikings; covering the battle of Fullford, Stamford Bridge and Hastings itself.

Easily one of the best produced history epics I've ever seen and its extras were cast from local re-enactors.

If you like Iron Age history, this is the best you will find.

The only real viking films are the Scandinavian ones!
