Hello Pbinns,
I'd like to welcome you here also! Its great to hear that you are working on these blades and taking a serious historic approach to your work. Here we very much enjoy discussions that include a wide range of weapons that often exceed the specific ethnographic denominator, and recognize the important relationships that often reflect the influences that have developed between them.
The movies you mention are both excellent films and always enjoy rewatching them. As you note, there are quite a number of fascinating weapons shown in them.
There is an outstanding knowledge base among the many members of the forum here, among which there is a great degree of specialization. I always look forward to the discussions here where we can all share knowledge and data and learn together, so please dont hesitate to bring in any specific questions we might help with.
All the best,
Jim
