The Kurgan in street punk disguise

Highlander, with swords aplenty as well as a Death Ray of sorts (i.e. the Quickening, the massive energy release signifying the death of an immortal).

It's basically biblical fanfic.

I guess that makes Harry Potter eligible too.

It's the Ark of the Covenant, of which I believe a page or two was covered in the Bible. It didn't specify how closely based it had to be.

Mel Brooks' The HIstory of the World Pt 1

"I give you these fifteen.... er, ten... Ten Commandments!"

Plus lots of swords in Roman times, and Death Rays in the "Jews in Space" preview!

While I appreciate Isgrimnur's open interpretation of the topic at hand, hentzau wins this round for the Henry V choice.

Creative interpretations of a criterion don't often win the round, but I like them for bringing the lulz.

Dogma (1999)

Wherein Loki and Bartleby lay down exposition while hanging out at the airport, "eating" popcorn and leading a nun astray.

Sticking with V for Vendetta, which wraps up with the explosive-laden train containing V's dead body destroying Parliament by way of the abandoned London Underground.

Superman (1978)

Where Lex Luther’s base was that partially flooded subway station, where he tries to drown Superman with the kryptonite necklace

Superman gets it for me. Miss Tesschmacher in the water in her white dress was a formative image for young hentzau.

Yeah, one of three sequels to Airport, amazingly enough.
