Hello

I would like to ask you to recommend me some quality movies or maybe even cartoons which are good and are related to northic mythology. Gods, valkyries, heroes, this kind of stuff

I know here are many film experts at tl, i hope you could help me out.

Does Beowulf count? It wasn't amazing, but it was fairly good.

I've recently watched Ring of the Nibelungs (also goes by the name Curse of the Ring) and enjoyed it quite a bit. Having read the story when I was a child the movie seemed above average.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

yeah, i've seen these, valhalla rising doesnt have much to do with mytholgy though, beowulf is kinda lame, and it's an ancient english myth afaik doesnt have much to do with Odin and co.

Ring of the nibelungs, yeah i saw that one and i liked it, i'm thinking something along that line

Got to check this out, I loved the Niebelungen as a kid. It is german though and not norse.

It's not exactly an accurate description of nordic lore, but who cares?

i dont know, i watched it and i was like wtf is this shit?
i mean no disrespect to unorthodox films, i watched Tarkovsky and Fellini and many other non-hollywood productions, but this film was like this : + Show Spoiler +
silence, guys getting beaten up, silence, guys getting thorn apart, silence, somehow they arrive in NorthAmerica, silence, guys getting massacred, silence, main savage hero demigod getting squashed by some indians, blond kid stairs at nothing. Not quite the definition of a good movie

if you were into manga (which i don't know) i would recommend you Vinland Saga - epic story in nordic (viking) context.

as far as movies go.. tough call! there are actually too few movies of high quality that really catch norse atmosphere / mythology.

here is a wiki link you might not have found yet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Films_set_in_the_Viking_Age

I mean it was good in the way that Nicolas Winding put up a very special atmosphere, very disturbing and frustrating, it's the all point of the movie I think. But still too much weird for me yeah :D

Watch with Old Tale. When the Sun was a God.. It's about the skirmishes between Slavs and Vikings in Northern Europe. Such a glorious time!
I love humanity. It is people that i can't stand.

Has little to do with mythology, but yeah.. I found it pretty epic, and the kid is hardcore norse.
the interesting thing about this quote is that youll only understand whats interesting when youre done reading it. ǝɯıʇ ɹn ƃuıʇsɐʍ n ǝɹɐ ʎɥʍ
