'80s Fantasy Movies

[epilogue]

Willow...goddamn.

Yeah i really miss these movies. Masters of the universe need to be on this list.

Considered that one too, but decided it was more of a superhero action movie. I tried to only include pure fantasy - movies that are set in a self-contained world removed from reality.

That describes Masters of the Universe to a t, friend. I can't think of a better definition, really.

Although... I guess they do come to New York... so maybe that's the rub.

Yeah, when I think of that movie, I mostly remember real-world stuff with a climax set in a fantasy realm.

But it starts in Eternia and ends in Eternia. They dance with Courtney Cox and she gets that really bad pizza blister on her leg. But even the NYC stuff is all fantastic. Whatever. I'm being dumb. I get your reasoning.

How much is Alex hating it that you are debating the He-Man live action movie?

[VinylGuy]

yeah it should be on the list...not only starts and end in eternia, but when they are in NY there are a lot of fantasy elements and weird shit happening.

I love that movie so much.

Well, if I were to rank it, I think I'd put it between Hercules and Krull.

Krull makes no fucking sense, you guys.

And Dolph Lundgren actually does a great job. AND THE MOVIE STARS WITH HE MAN DEFEATED!!!

Krull is terrible.

They have the technology to build laser blasters, yet still ride horses and fight with swords.

Makes sense.

13. Excalibur
14. Willow
15. The NeverEnding Story

The bottom three are fucking awful.

Highlander

Hmm, I think I might classify that as sci-fi too. Also, it blows.

The only good highlander is Adrian Paul

If that kid yells "Atreeeeeeeyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuu!!" one more fucking time I'm going to lose my shit

Krull makes no fucking sense, you guys.

Krull is terrible.

Everyone associated with these opinions....dead to me.

[LoathedVermin72]

RM is really touchy about these movies

He's dead wrong about his bottom three. Dead. Wrong. Excalibur is not only one of the best 80s fantasy movies, it's one of the best movies of any genre from that decade.

But I stand by Krull. That thing is awful AWUFL. But didn't that come out in the 90s?

[epilogue]

Wait.... I just looked up Krull (1983). I don't know what that is. I haven't seen that. I'm thinking of something else that came out much later.

I take back what I said about Krull.

You don't have to, it's still awful.

[LoathedVermin72]

I wish I could enjoy Excalibur. John Boorman is great.

What the hell were you thinking of?

[LoathedVermin72]

Is the lack of Conan the Barbarian discussion in this thread simply due to everyone agreeing it is indisputably amazing?

[LoathedVermin72]

Conan the Barbarian is a legit great movie and proof that Arnold is an incredibly effective actor with the right material. It's probably his best performance. Well before he tried to act in the late 90's. It reminds me of how James Hetfield was a good vocalist before he started trying to sing.

Joey's backtrack on Krull has removed him from the shit list. Well done.
