I’ve been catching up on and rewatching some lately. Legend, Highlander, The Never ending Story. What are some others that are similar? And why do 80s movies seem to hit different than other decades?

It’s… inconceivable no one has said Princess Bride yet.

I think that word means what you think it means

- Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Big Trouble in Little China

Nausicaa is so good
- Trent ( @Trent@lemmy.ml ) English18•10 months ago
Dragonslayer was pretty good.

This along with Legend. Excalibur was really good too.

The Dark Crystal

Have you watched it as an adult? I loved that movie growing up and watched it a few years ago. Good lord, is it messed up…
- Pulptastic ( @Pulptastic@midwest.social ) English2•10 months ago
I really do not like the faces in this movie. Hard pass.

I’ve only seen the Netflix remake but I really enjoyed it. Would you recommend going back and watching the original?
- jmbmkn ( @jmbmkn@beehaw.org ) 5•10 months ago
It’s not a remake, it’s a prequel. So you should definitely watch the film.
- metaStatic ( @metaStatic@kbin.social ) 3•10 months ago
I didn’t even know there was a remake, so yes
- Perrin42 ( @Perrin42@kbin.social ) 12•10 months ago
Can’t forget Krull!
- Thisfox ( @Thisfox@sopuli.xyz ) 12•10 months ago
Labyrinth, Willow, and of course The Princess Bride.
- shapis ( @shapis@lemmy.ml ) 11•10 months ago
Not sure if it quite counts as fantasy but…
Everything about Blade Runner was perfect.
The sequel somehow managed to not drop the ball as well.
- chunkystyles ( @chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz ) English4•10 months ago
I think you’re selling the sequel very short.
It managed to build on the original.
- outbound ( @outbound@lemmy.ca ) 10•10 months ago
Flash Gordon
- ArcaneSlime ( @ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 7•10 months ago
Also Flesh Gordon.
It is exactly what you think, but it’s more comedic than arousing.
- Remmock ( @Remmock@kbin.social ) 9•10 months ago
The Secret of Nimh
Xanadu (Modern Fantasy)
Ladyhawke- Remmock ( @Remmock@kbin.social ) 8•10 months ago
Oh, and Return to Oz.
- 2CatsOneBowl ( @2CatsOneBowl@aussie.zone ) English5•10 months ago
That movie is terrifying
- Snassek ( @Snassek@lemm.ee ) 9•10 months ago
Clash of the Titans
- kambusha ( @kambusha@feddit.ch ) 8•10 months ago
The Goonies, The Golden Child, Big Trouble in Little China, The Last Dragon, and The Monster Squad.
Bonus: I think Bill & Ted’s movies were in the 80s too? The one with Death I always felt was sort of similar to Never Ending Story.

Wait, no Ghostbusters!?
- lilShalom ( @lilShalom@lemmy.basedcount.com ) English7•10 months ago
Big trouble in little china

Deathstalker 1 and 2 are underappreciated rubbish.
Cheap, tone deaf, bad acting, bad writing, catchy out of place theme music, pure entertainment.
