How about The Thirteenth Warrior? Vikings as Orlanthi, natch, and the NEanderthals as Hsunchen (or Trolls?). Antonio Banderas could be a hapless Pelorian Etyries merchant.

  I may be resurecting an ancient GD thread but I've been pondering a   few movies that remind me of Glorantha:

  Princess Mononoke: Very good animist and tribal lifestyle. Excellent   spirits. The forest scene is incredible. At least now I know what   Telmor's bitch and Mralot sound like.

  Gormenghast (BBC Miniseries) These folk _are_ the Brithini. They're   buried under layers of rituals they can't even remember the reason   for. Not much on free-will either. And they're all totally barking   mad.

  Gladiator: Hey, this is Glamour. (He vexes me!)

  Tossing hat into ring.
