Movies with people using Sword & Board in combat
So I am about to start playing in a D&D campaign and one of the things Roll20 allows us to do is add animated gifs into our macros. I'm playing a sword and shield/sword and javelin sort of fellow this game and went looking for animated gifs that involved people fighting with shield + weapon and found that I really couldn't find all that many! Outside of 300, anyone know of media (any kind, animated or live action) that has major characters fighting with a shield and weapon in a fantasy/medieval setting?

Plenty of sword and board, though they're on horseback. The battle is also quite chaotic.

Well, from my history of rolls it probably will be, sadly. Most protagonists seem to not use shields and instead kill the shield guys.
both combatants using shield + spear then shield + sword, lots of Gif potential
Quoting him: "There are three phrases, the first is sword and spear vs the same. The second is sword and shield vs the same. The final phrase is sword vs sword."

"Gladiator, with Russel Crow fights will have it. Swrod and shield vs sword & axe"

There's also Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer, along with Red Sonja - although there aren't many scenes where the primary characters are using shields there are a ton of battle scenes where you could grab a couple of seconds of some background characters fighting with shields to turn into a short gif.
But rank and file fighter might not be what you are looking for because they only work well in phalanx.
