Why hasn't fencing been a major part of a movie?

There's movies about Ball players or the coaches, figure skaters, gymmists, dancers, golf players, skying. But nothing about the sport of fencing.
I'd love to learn to fence, too. It seems like something I would be good at doing.

Well there was this scene from
The Adventures of Robin Hood:
The irony here is that Basil Rathbone was a much better fencer than Errol Flynn irl.
And then there's this one from
The Princess Bride,
which is my favorite:
MAGA! FAFO! Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. Dumbocraps: evil people who celebrate murder.

There was a scene in Die Another Day that had Madonna in it, but it was terrible.
