This is probably my all time favorite:
Favorite Sword Design? (tagging up on the best gun design)

Cool :cool
It says 'Conan Atlantian King' sword in the link, but the pommel and crossguard with the 2 Dragon Heads has much the same feel as the Knight's sword from Indiana Jones & the last Crusade.
Wonder if this was a 'standard' motif for the 'era' ?

As far as movie-related swords are concerned, honestly, my favorite is the LOTR trilogy Sting. YES, I know that it's a dagger in the hands of a hobbit, but the scaled up one Elijah Wood holds is frickin' gorgeous! I'm a sucker for leaf shaped blades, and that one is breathtaking. Another one I love is on Jody Samson's site, the one called "Jody's pattern-weld barrow leaf blade," and it's about 3/4 the way down this page:

my personal fave is the 'First Knight' version of "Excalibur", but what got me following props and props swords initially was the katana from the 'Highlander' films

TOTALLY - MINE TOO !!!
Just found this on Amazon --> Conan's Atlantean Sword Replica
As an alternative, I actually have this one (also from Amazon) --> Barbarian II Sword
which I am planning to modify/customize to better replicate the Atlantean Sword.

As far as real life swords are concerned, I've always loved the yataghan:
It's elegant, speedy, beautiful, and has enough heft to cause some damage.
Now, when it comes to movie swords, I've always loved this one:
This sword was featured in the 1982 movie The Sword and the Sorcerer.
It's a sword that you can frakkin' SHOOT people with. The two side-blades can be launched at an opponent, making for some good old-fashioned disembowling from a distance.
I guess I found my first replica project...

While Sting from The Hobbit holds a special place in my heart, I have a weakness for Katana style blades. I will have to go with Connor Mcloud / Ramirez's Masamune Katana from The Highlander

Of course, from a tactical standpoint it's completely laughable. Blades that fire out off the sword are, by definition, not firmly attached to the main body of the sword, so they will be a liability in combat. A good hit on a wall or by another weapon and the side-blades will bend (if not outright break), rendering them useless. Your double-barreled sword-gun has just become a single-barreled or completely useless for long range attacks.
Still, it gets major points for coolness, though.

I've always been a fan of Sorsha's sword from Willow. love the tip having a razor back ridge. down side its a 1 handed sword.
Blade's sword ( daywalker) is pretty pimp too, only down side is that the handle is metal. slip n slide when you sweat or blood falls on it.
Highland is great too, has the same problem as daywalker. just the handle is Ivory not metal.
I like one to two handed sword to use.. you can use another weapon in your other hand or double the power with a double grip. I'll have to go with Ra's al Ghul ninja swords from the League of Shadows. black steel which gives off no glear n reflextions.
