So many to choose from. But Ice Pirates was one that I don’t see mentioned a lot. That still stands in my memory.
Hard to choose just one. Willow, Krull, Conan and Red Sonja movies, Dark Crystal, et al.
Masters of the universe
Star Wars
I guess it depends on your definition of “fantasy”. I’d take Labyrinth over Dark Crystal any day, but maybe that doesn’t count?
The Beastmaster keeps popping in my head when I look at this, but I know it’s not great. I just… remember it being on TV a bunch.
Legend. Or Excalibur. Both are awesome.
Krull gets an honorable mention for hanging in there after initially being a flop.
Time Bandits.
Probably this one. Willow was a great movie for its era.
The Princess Bride.
One of the best films ever, 80’s fantasy or otherwise.
Labyrinth
Hmmm,favorite? Hard call.
Labyrinth, Legend, Willow, and Ladyhawke have to be on the list.
But leaving out the Conan movies, Beastmaster, the Dark Crystal, and Krull seems wrong.
And then there’s the Never-ending Story and the Princess Bride, which have to be near the top, if not the top.
But there’s Baron Munchausen as well.
Fuck.
The Princess Bride is half comedy, so calling it a true fantasy movie may not be acceptable. But, it’s the one I’ve watched the most out of all my favorites, and it stands as one of mu favorites of any genre. So I guess that is it?
How the hell is this supposed to get narrowed down?
Conan the Barbarian and The Princess Bride for me.
Does Highlander count?
The Princess Bride
