I have been watching various movies, readings and videos of Beowulf and about Beowulf. ( I read the book a long time ago, before Heaney's translation ) 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,
