Fra tidens begynnelse til moderne tider (og inn i fremtiden). I denne oversikten finnes både faktiske historiske, religionshistoriske og mytiske skikkelser og hendelser i utvalget, men dokumentarer er ikke inkludert. Utvalgskriteriet er at jeg har sett filmene, men det betyr ikke nødvendigvis at de er spesielt severdige. Samtlige er imidlertid som alt annet historisk, interessante på sitt vis. Hovedsakelig er filmene historisk drama eller fiksjonalisering med det til felles at skildringene omfatter personer som har levd i virkeligheten eller tar for seg historiske begivenheter med et sentralt premiss om at dette har skjedd. Det finnes unntak hvor det helt åpenbart er et poeng at skildringene tar store friheter hva angår historisk korrekthet.

Based on more or less true stories - a timeline

I see most Norwegian films. Here are the Norwegian films I've seen and rated, and the ones I'm planning to see when I get the chance. On average they are getting better and better, something this list shows! Check out the gems!

Everything on IMDB with Norse/Early Germanic stories/Religion/Mythology from the time of Beowulf until the middle ages or later with norse themes or folklore.

Slowly updated and sorted as i watch more and find new ones. Announced/in production movies here, some looking very interesting (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls025715357/)

Non-English movies get bold text. English Wikipedia if available. Some shorts/movies have links to Youtube/Vimeo.
