Define exactly what you mean by "swashbuckler". Does The Goonies count?

Admittedly I've hardly seen any of those, being the un-classically educated 15 year old I am.

But how could you not include The Pirates of the Carribbean? Sure it was Hollywood-ised, but it was a good old romp, just what a swashbuckler should be

The Princess Bride. Inigo Montoya is hilarious.

The whole movie was hilarious, especially Andre the Giant and Wallace Shawn.

Princess Bride officially seconded (or thirded or whatever.)

(and couldn't on include The Highlander as well?)

Sorry to nitpick but there's no "D".

I also enjoyed The Princess Bride, but I voted for Cyrano, because of the poem/duel scene. Just fantastic.

Horatio Hornblower - made for tv movie series. YES! All hail Hornblower. All ignore Ioan Gruffard's terrible career decisions afterwards.

The Horseman on the Roof (L'Hussard sur le Toit).

Excellent French movie with plenty of Swashes buckled.
