This looks more like it.

Was looking through an old hard drive there and found the Viking movie section.
Beowulf & Grendel (2005) - Gerald Butler murdering any attempt at an accent but nice scenery. 6/10.
Outlander (2009) - Jim Caviezel showing his full gamut of emotions; from A to B. 6/10.
The Norseman (1978). A real doozy. Lee Majors (yes the Six Million Dollar Man) complete with adult movie star moustache and Texas drawl as a horned helm wearing Viking. Fighting American Indians. Bad music, out of focus and so awful it's not even "bad awful". Though you should watch it just to say you have. 0/10.
The Viking Sagas (1995). Shot in Iceland with an Icelandic cast it's worth a watch and is a by truer to source. Beautiful scenery, cool Icelandic ponies, slightly dodgy special effects. 8/10.
The Vikings (1958) Stellar cast including Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis & Ernest Borgnine. Okay it falls into all the cliches but can be forgiven for being the grand-daddy of them all. Over acted, over coloured with much quaffing of ale and cutting of benches braids. 8.5/10.

(The scores are for Viking movies and not film in general)

Hamish has already talked about 13th Warrior, good fun romp.

Forgot about old Gerrard Butler as Beowulf! Still better than the animated film that came out later

Only problem with subtitles..... you spend as much time reading, as you do watching, so you end up missing out on a lot of what you should be looking at, because your not hearing what you should be!

 

[Dave]

Not me. Are you fluent enough to just watch french movies without subs then Mark?

The last three days, the original one in french is miles better than the russell crowe version. In fact theres a load of good french films which I watch with the subs.

Cant watch dubbed movies, like watching sandy, piggy and monkey when i was a kid.....urrrggghhh

I remember "Vikki the Viking" on Belgian TV when I was a teenager...
And I love "Hagar the Horrible" cartoons....

 

[Dave]

Oh yeh, Hagar the horrible. He was great. SKOL!

Cough. You know I see a resemblance there John......Now if you just had some red beard dye......

 

[Wayland]

And don't forget Noggin the Nog of course.

Of the ones mentioned so far. The Viking Sagas is probably the most accurate.

You do realise that they're already planning for his humiliation (sorry, charitable efforts) for the next moot ?

Shush Mary... we're lulling him into a false sense of security
