Highlander - 6

One of the earliest fantasy warriors to come to the screen, the Highlander, Connor MacLeod, is a 400 year old immortal who is trying to survive from attacks of other immortals. The film starts in modern day (1986 when this film was made) New York City and slowly gives the Highlander's history through the years, originally in his native Scotland. The film involves a lot of sword fights, since the only way to kill an immortal is by decapitation (removing their head). Connor eventually falls for a local forensic expert who is investigating the recent deaths and finds one of the immortals ancient sword. A well made film although some of the fights could use some Eastern influence. The film doesn't try to hard to explain everything, and ends with no sequels in mind (4 films and a TV spin off, which I've heard are not very good).
