If Hollywood actually showed realistic sword fighting it would probably be fairly much like a fist fight and then stabbing.
Clashing swords does nothing but break the edge of the sword and wrecks them. For the most part from what I've read, sword fights were over pretty quickly because you tried to either sneak up on them and run them through, or stun them and run them through or slash their cuts out.
For the most part the best weapon in a sword fight was a punch in the face with your off hand.
