Movies like The Northman, ranked
1. Vikings (2013)
Ragnar's rise from warrior to legendary leader mirrors the brutal coming-of-age and blood-soaked vengeance that drives The Northman, with both sagas exploring how Norse ambition and divine destiny reshape men across generations.
2. Vinland Saga (2019)
Robert Eggers' meticulous attention to Norse mythology and brutal combat choreography translates perfectly to Vinland Saga's unflinching portrayal of Viking vengeance across generational conflict and moral reckoning.
3. The Long Ships (1964)
Rolfe's obsessive sea voyage across hostile lands to seize a legendary treasure mirrors the same primal drive and Norse seafaring spectacle that powers The Northman's revenge saga.
4. The Last Kingdom (2015)
Robert Eggers' unflinching brutality and obsessive attention to Viking-era physicality permeate this series, where revenge-driven quests and blood oaths shape warriors across the same Norse-influenced medieval landscape.
5. Outlander (2008)
Robert Eggers' mythic brutalism and obsessive vengeance narrative find their match in this film's commitment to Viking combat aesthetics and the collision between an outsider's perspective and Nordic warrior culture.
6. Prince Valiant (1997)
Robert the Bruce's exile and return mirrors Valiant's journey through medieval courts, as both films pit righteous heirs against usurping villains through sword-driven adventure and dynastic restoration rather than revenge alone.
7. Robin Hood (2010)
The gritty medieval combat and oath-driven revenge structure mirror The Northman's relentless pursuit of justice, while director Ridley Scott grounds both films in visceral action and moral complexity rather than fantasy spectacle.
8. How to Train Your Dragon (2025)
Director Robert Eggers crafts mythic revenge tales with operatic intensity, so this dragon-fantasy's exploration of inherited conflict and redemption through unlikely bonds offers that same epic-scale examination of duty versus self-discovery.
