Pretty good one too
One malee/swordfight I should have mentioned but didn't (I can't believe I didn't) was the sword fight between The Dread Pirate Robinson and Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. One reason why I can't believe Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin don't get more offers for movie roles. Not only are the both decent actors, they both each studied and practiced their tails off to do that scene. I mean, that is them doing all that, it's not stunt doubles or anything, that is all them. If I have two decent actors who will be professional enough to learn and pull off a great swordfight like that, I'm gonna want them somewhere in my movies. That kind of professionalism is hard to find sometimes.
