"The 13th Warrior"

starring Antonio Banderas
Banderas plays an Arab scholar who is cast out into the world where he comes across some Norsemen who are about the go into battle with a demonic army

"Erik the Viking"

starring Eric Roberts
A spoof of Viking movies that I recently saw a little bit of, and what I saw was hilarious!

"The Long Ships"

starring Richard Widmark, Sidney Poitier, and Russ Tamblyn
Viking brothers Rolfe (Widmark) and Orm (Russ Tamblyn) steal the Norse king's funeral ship as well as his beautiful daughter, Gerda (Beba Loncar), and head off in search of the fabled "Mother of Voices," a huge solid-gold bell "as tall as three tall men."  The brothers battle a maelstrom, a mutinous crew, and vengeful Moorish troops led by Prince El Mansuh (Poitier).

"The Vikings"              

starring Kirk Douglas
Douglas and several others play Viking Warriors trying to get into Valhalla.
