- The Vikings (1958) When it comes to strengthening the contemporary notion of Vikings in the public imagination and establishing a standard lexicon of their audiovisual depictions, it's impossible to overstate the importance and influence of "The Vikings."
- Hagbard and Signe (1967) To a significantly greater degree than many of the other Viking films on this list, the criminally little-known "Hagbard and Signe" (also sometimes called "The Red Mantle") is soulful, meditative, poetic, and taken with themes of romance and eroticism — which makes sense, seeing as it's directed by the same Gabriel Axel of the culinary drama classic "Babette's Feast."
- The Northman (2022) It's not too soon to call it: With "The Northman," Robert Eggers has succeeded in crafting one of the defining Viking movies. In fact, "The Northman" often feels rather like a purposeful, fully aware summation of a century of Viking film iconography, a stab at epitomizing the genre that's as dogged and intrepid in its feverish ambition as the very warriors it tells of.
- When the Raven Flies (1984) Like "The White Viking," Hrafn Gunnlaugsson's earlier "When the Raven Flies" is a must-see. True to the endless intertextuality of the period's genre cinema, it could be described as a Viking riff on "Yojimbo" by way of spaghetti westerns, with a plot about an Irish man (Jakob Þór Einarsson) who travels to Iceland to get revenge for the raid that took his parents' life when he was a boy.

Mar 30, 2022 · Viking movies are full of outsiders. Often, the Viking is the outsider — this applies to both Valhalla Rising and Thor — although not always. The Vikings has Tony Curtis as a Northumbrian...

Amid nobles and schemers, saints and brutes, and lovers and fools, this Viking swings his sword for his family's honor, his beloved's hand, and the very survival of his pitiless culture.
