The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) is THE quintessential swashbuckler.  Y'all choosing the fluffy-but-forgettable Mask of Zorro are just crazy.  Crazy, I say! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />2. Three Musketeers (Richard Lester version 1973) Can you believe I've not seen either one?  Actually, that's not quite true:  I saw enough of the later Disney version to decide I didn't like it and turned it off; thus my vote for the one I haven't seen.  Betcha the book's way better, though.3. Monty Python & the Holy Grail (1975).  It may not be the better movie, but it's far closer to my heart, as my introduction to Monty Python when I was ten and at an all-night slumber party (where I also got my first introduction to Zelda).4. Camelot (1967) is another vote by default, not having seen First Knight.5. Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).  The Crusade movie was good, but c'mon.  If Errol Flynn's Robin Hood is the quintessential swashbuckler, Indy & the Raiders is the quintessential pulp action.6. Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber version 2004) Yet another default, not having seen either, but I quite like the soundtrack, and have seen Webber's version on Broadway.  It's not my favorite story, but you just can't beat that ominous organ.7. High Plains Drifter (1973) vs. Pale Rider (1985)--No vote, since I can't say anything at all about either.8. Hellboy (2004)   Oy.  Haven't seen Buckaroo (I know, I know, I keep meaning to!), so I gotta vote Hellboy, even though I found it ultimately unsatisfying.  But it had enough good stuff in it that I won't vote against it by default.9. Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) Hey, isn't it supposed to be eight movies per round?  Anyway, fantastic stuff!10. Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)  Gotta love me some Ed Wood.EXTRA CREDIT!(fun, but inappropriate)11. Heathers (1989) vs. Repo Man (1984) Heathers.  Repo Man just never did it for me.12. Highway 61 (1991) vs. Cold Feet (1989) Never saw the latter, but the former--well, you know how I feel about the former <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.</blockquote>
