Kirk Douglas as Earnar.
Yes. Son of Borgnine’s Ragnar.
One of the outcomes of my seeing this movie in my late teens was to use their “prayer” at various semi-appropriate occasions. Best example would have been when I was asked to say Grace at the family Thanksgiving meal. I yelled out “Odin!” in full voice. Got a few laughs but many more stunned expressions.
A buddy and I even made up some off-color lyrics to the theme music as heard in Film Music from “The Vikings” (1958)
The Vikings 1958 version is a good movie. It’s definitely a bit dated, but not nearly as bad as one would imagine for being half a century old.
The 13th Warrior is about as historically accurate as 300 but it’s still a very fun movie.
The remake, I haven’t seen the original.
There’s always the Vicky the Viking TV series, as well…lots of fun as a kid - but I saw that in Afrikaans, I hear from Wikipedia that the English dub isn’t that great. There’s apparently a live-action film version that did quite well in Germany.
Folks like the OP, you mean?
Oops. It wasn’t in ital or quotation marks, and I missed it. Thanks.
a star packed movie. like many star packed movies it was funny.
A while back, I stumbled across a website that reviews Viking movies. Only Viking movies, and all Viking movies. It’s run by a Viking reenactment group. Can’t say I’ve seen many of these, but worth a look: The Vikings of Bjornstad
Flesh+Blood? I don’t think the movie specifies where the mauraders come from but Rutger Hauer is blond and Dutch. Close enough?
Actually, the movie does specify who the marauders are - they’re Italian *condottieri *under the command of John Hawkwood.
LOL excellent site… where else could I find the 6 million dollar man as a Viking!?
The ones I came in to mention have all been taken:
The Vikings
The Thirteenth Warrior
Beowulf
Beowulf and Grendel
The Long Ships
As for the last one, with its absolutely wild ending, I loved the film, and later stumbled across the novel it was based on, Frans G. Bengtsson’s the Long Ships, wjhich is still apparently practically a modern national epic in Sweden. According to the Wikipedia article (which echoes what I’ve read elsewhere):
The book I read was a movie tie-in, which included the whole book. It’s worth the reading. And, yes, that damned big bell is in the book, too. But there’s lots of other stuff. Recommended.
There are at least two other versions of Beowulf out there (not counting the adaptation of Gardner’s Grendel), the Christopher Lambert movie Beowulf, which is set , for some reason, in a post-apocalyptic future 9and so doesn’t really fit here), but which has two wrinkles in it that later showed up in Zemecjis’ version, leading me to suspect that Zemeckis, Gaiman, or somebody else saw that earlier version. The other is the Syfy chabnnel version, entitled Grendel (and which has nothing to do with Gardner’s book). It’s relatively straightforward telling, but with some pretty awful early CGI. At least it has something like Vikings. But I don’t recommend it.
This. I saw this in a Scandianvian mythology class, and everyone, including the prof, laughed heartily throughout. Especially whenever Tony Curtis opened his mouth.
I’m always partial to a movie with gorgeous yet manly men.
Actually, the part I liked best was the montage of the Banderas character beginning to understand what the Vikings were saying. I thought it was a wonderful, time-lapsed portrayal of language acquisition.
I rather liked Pathfinder, as cheesy movies go…the Vikings are basically Orcs. 
:dubious: It could probably be argued that the Orcs were basically Vikings. Just not particularly pleasant ones.
The men of Rohan in LOTR (books and movies) are basically settled-down Vikings with horses instead of long ships.
And always remember: Pillage first, burn second.
