Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone in Robin Hood (1938)
Flynn was and will always be the best Robin Hood.

Warren Beatty in The Parallax View (1974, director Alan J. Pakula)
Beatty did 99% of this fight scene himself, except for the two jumps
through the glass walls, as meticulously choreographed by stunt
coordinator Paul Baxley (whose brother Craig did the glass jumps
and the stunt driving for Beatty).

There's an equally great fight scene in Three Days of the Condor,
starring Robert Redford, but I guess that's no longer up on YouTube.
Another swashbuckling fight: The Three Musketeers (1973) with
Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay, Richard Chamberlain and Michael York
as the musketeers and Christopher Lee as one of their enemies.
