The swashbuckler film genre has been through several stages over the years, but which classic sword-fighting movie is actually the best of them all?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Swashbuckler movies might not be hugely popular in today’s cinematic climate, but the genre has gone through several periods of success throughout the history of cinema. They started out as classic Hollywood epics, with some of the most successful directors of the ‘40s and ‘50s using the genre as a way to make their stories more exciting and adventurous for general audiences.
8 The Sea Hawk The Sea Hawk is one of the best pirate movies, as it fundamentally shaped the way audiences view the genre by taking numerous folk stories about buccaneers and other maritime marauders and adapting them to the big screen. With Errol Flynn in the lead role, The Sea Hawk tells the story of a dangerous buccaneer who decides to return the treasure he’s plundered in order to prove himself to his lover.
4 The Count Of Monte Cristo The Count of Monte Cristo blends two popular genres together, serving not only as a fantastic swashbuckler movie but also ranking among the best period dramas of the 2000s. Like Alexandre Dumas’s classic source material, this version of the story follows a sailor who finds himself falsely imprisoned on a secluded island for several years, plotting his revenge.
