Ok, here's your quest. A total newbie to the world of swords and sorcery wants to rent the 10 definitive films of the genre. Assume this person has never seen any before, not even The Lord of the Rings. What 10 films should he rent?

Beastmaster Two: Through the Portal of Time, Barbarians (the one with those twin body builders), Clash of the Titans, 13th Warior, Dungeons and Dragons, dungeons and Dragons 2, Beowulf (the animated one... I know, no animated ones, but this one was good).
Oh wait... you said the movies couldnt suck... LEt me ammend my list.
13th Warrior, Beowulf.
Oh my god, you saw Beastmaster 2!! I thought I was the only one. Truly the zenith of dreck.
How about Rome the HBO Series?
No magic but lots of action and backstabbing.
