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?
Frater Mus ( @fratermus@lemmy.sdf.org ) English45•10 months agoIt’s… inconceivable no one has said Princess Bride yet.
FippleStone ( @FippleStone@aussie.zone ) 3•10 months agoI think that word means what you think it means
Ransom ( @Ransom@lemmy.one ) English25•10 months agoWillow
Lee Duna ( @throws_lemy@lemmy.nz ) English22•10 months ago- Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Big Trouble in Little China
hoodatninja ( @hoodatninja@kbin.social ) 8•10 months agoNausicaa is so good
Trent ( @Trent@lemmy.ml ) English18•10 months agoDragonslayer was pretty good.
argo_yamato ( @argo_yamato@lemm.ee ) 7•10 months agoThis along with Legend. Excalibur was really good too.
Trent ( @Trent@lemmy.ml ) English4•10 months ago“We are all animals, my lady…”
Arghblarg ( @Arghblarg@lemmy.ca ) 17•10 months agoLadyhawke, Conan…
metaStatic ( @metaStatic@kbin.social ) 12•10 months agoThe Dark Crystal
Agingtoofast ( @Agingtoofast@reddthat.com ) English7•10 months agoHave 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 agoI really do not like the faces in this movie. Hard pass.
Fizz ( @Fizz@lemmy.nz ) 2•10 months agoI’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 agoIt’s not a remake, it’s a prequel. So you should definitely watch the film.
metaStatic ( @metaStatic@kbin.social ) 3•10 months agoI didn’t even know there was a remake, so yes
Perrin42 ( @Perrin42@kbin.social ) 12•10 months agoCan’t forget Krull!
Thisfox ( @Thisfox@sopuli.xyz ) 12•10 months agoLabyrinth, Willow, and of course The Princess Bride.
shapis ( @shapis@lemmy.ml ) 11•10 months agoNot 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 agoI think you’re selling the sequel very short.
It managed to build on the original.
outbound ( @outbound@lemmy.ca ) 10•10 months agoFlash Gordon
ArcaneSlime ( @ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 7•10 months agoAlso Flesh Gordon.
It is exactly what you think, but it’s more comedic than arousing.
Remmock ( @Remmock@kbin.social ) 9•10 months agoThe Secret of Nimh
Xanadu (Modern Fantasy)
Ladyhawke Remmock ( @Remmock@kbin.social ) 8•10 months agoOh, and Return to Oz.
2CatsOneBowl ( @2CatsOneBowl@aussie.zone ) English5•10 months agoThat movie is terrifying
Snassek ( @Snassek@lemm.ee ) 9•10 months agoClash of the Titans
kambusha ( @kambusha@feddit.ch ) 8•10 months agoThe 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.
pascal ( @pascal@lemm.ee ) 1•10 months agoWait, no Ghostbusters!?
lilShalom ( @lilShalom@lemmy.basedcount.com ) English7•10 months agoBig trouble in little china
Blackmist ( @Blackmist@feddit.uk ) English7•10 months agoDeathstalker 1 and 2 are underappreciated rubbish.
Cheap, tone deaf, bad acting, bad writing, catchy out of place theme music, pure entertainment.
