I'm about to watch Ladyhawke in the next few days, and after that, I'm not sure if there any big ones left that I haven't seen. That makes me kind of sad, since I love the atmosphere of these movies.
Rank 'em, discuss 'em, whatever. Here's my ranking of what I remember seeing (I'm not counting animation):
1. Conan the Barbarian
2. Return to Oz
3. Labyrinth
4. The Princess Bride
5. Conan the Destroyer
6. Red Sonja
7. Time Bandits
8. Legend
9. Clash of the Titans (Not sure if this really counts.)
10. The Dark Crystal (I find this movie deeply uncomfortable for some reason.)
11. Hercules
12. Krull
13. Excalibur
14. Willow
15. The NeverEnding Story
The bottom three are fucking awful.

Hmm, maybe. Do you think that's more Fantasy or more Sci-Fi, though? Either way, I love it.

For fear of living up to my crappy movie reputation, yes. It's Marc Singer at his best. Someone else here has seen it, right?

I'm glad you brought this up. It gives us a lot to discuss...

Yeah, I guess that is sci fi.

Dark Crystal is the most fantastic yet disturbing movie ever. Except maybe Dark City.

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

Wrong. Its action fantasy. And, it certainly does not blow.

Should this be my next live-posting extravaganza?

If I can get one more person to back me up on it, yes it absolutely should be.

Amazing that LV has not seen this movie yet. This is a classic. Its terrible, but its so good at the same time. This was one of those movies constantly replayed on TBS in like the early 90s.
