What historical films are your guilty pleasures....you secretly love them but hesitate to admit it to just anyone!
My all-time winner in this category would be "The Vikings" with Tony Curtis, Kirk Douglas, and Janet Leigh.
Remember the old crone throwing the bones, watching Eric in the crab pool, listening to the "Valkyries"....Odin's daughters......singing as they turn the tide and save him?
Remember the hokey amputated arm that was twice as long as his other one?
Remember Ernest Borgnine's look of mad triumph as Eric throws him the sword when he gets pitched into the wolf pit? (reason for Eric's loss of limb!)
Remember the neat knife-throwing episode with the adultress?
I could go on, but the bell has rung.....
