The following films involve some amount of sword fighting or swashbuckling. They are rated on a four-star system, which is a general critics' opinion of the film as a whole (taken from commercial movie databases), not an indicator of the quality or quantity of the film's fencing. Major actors and occasionally the director (denoted by a '!') are named. Films with 2 stars or less have been omitted, as have recent films that have not yet been widely released or reviewed.
