“The Thirteenth Warrior” with Antonio Bandaras and “Eaters of the Dead” by Michael Chrichton are both pretty good retelling of the Beowulf story.

i find it more than odd in the movie that the mooslum was “appalled” at the westerners on their habits when in real life, it should be the other way around

I read “Eaters of the Dead”, and wondered if this could be a slightly historical story of a serious encounter with a remnant Neanderthal group, or Sasquach??

At the other extreme: "Beowulf" (1999, Christopher Lambert) was delightfully awful. The summary describes it as a "futuristic techno-futile" tale. Couldn't even get the back of the box right.
