Congratulations to Vimeo user ClaraDarko for a spectacular piece of editing.

Look up best sabre duel on youtube, you should get a clip from a Polish film called Deluge. One of these guys can really fence!
VERY nice!!! Lots of editing there, and a LOT of movie watching too! LOL
What, no Scaramouche? Inconceivable!
I did not know The Deluge had been made into a movie. Great book.
I was hoping The Court Jester would make the cut.
Glad to see The Duelists getting some exposure. My favorite movie
I watched the vid before I read the list, and there were only a handful I didn't instantly recognize. Going down the list, there are only five I haven't seen….
Not sure if that's good or bad 🙂
Some great flicks, though, and some real classics.
