I have been watching various movies, readings and videos of Beowulf and about Beowulf. Here are some.
Beowulf by Robert Zemeckis. Whyyyyyyy. It could have been awesome but it looked like crap. 2 hobbits
Beowulf , documentary by Michael Woods, 4 hobbits
History documentary by some academic poetry chap, 3 hobbits
Beowulf 1998 animation with Derek Jacobi, 3 hobbits
The Hobbit , for following Tolkein's texts on Beowulf and the book The Hobbit and for general awesomeness in heroic story telling, 6 out 5 hobbits. I love it even more now,
