There is even an annual themed ball here called the Labrynth of Jared that I try to go to when I can.

You're absolutely right, he was totally creepy in Children of the Corn!<br /><br />I grew up watching Ladyhawke, Red Sonja and Conan. As well as Clash of the Titans, Legend, Willow, The Princess Bride, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal... I know there are others I've forgotten, that's part of the reason I made this post. To find new to me movies and rediscover ones I may have forgotten.<br /><br />My Netflix que has more than doubled over the past two days. Joe is excited that the animated 'Hobbit' will be visiting us soon and dreadfully unhappy that so will the animated 'Lord of the Rings' that you mentioned, Wulf. He remembers it and remembers hating it, but I've never seen it. I'll keep my expectations low. ;)Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686692876719223611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-20267371208792671342010-08-09T22:41:17.449-04:002010-08-09T22:41:17.449-04:00Betsy, I thought I was the only person in the worl...Betsy, I thought I was the only person in the world who'd seen "Ladyhawke"! A little gem that totally escaped notice at the time or since.<br /><br />Having grown up in that era, I'm also very fond of "Conan the Barbarian". The first one - the sequels were a mess. <br /><br />Another movie that's a mess but looks wonderful is "The Thirteenth Warrior". Originally called "Eaters of the Dead" (from Michael Crichton's novel), I knew about it because it was filmed in Vancouver and every prop builder in BC ended up working on it for months and months. Then it disappeared for a couple of years, and was finally released as "The Thirteenth Warrior". Apparently the test audiences had hated both the title and several earlier versions. The final cut (directed by Crichton himself) is such a dog's breakfast that I can't imagine how bad the earlier ones must've been! But it sure does look good, and if a film looks good enough, you can forgive a lot. (eg. "Legend".)<br /><br />Danni, if you sort-of-liked "Wizards" and you're a big LOTR fan, you ought to see Ralph Bakshi's animated version of LOTR. It's not bad, though not great either; ultimately mostly disappointing. He only got the first half made, so it just stops, somewhere around Isengard if I remember right.<br /><br />And your goblin is great!Wulfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398018377191270401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-13859625837654159702010-08-09T21:23:59.130-04:002010-08-09T21:23:59.130-04:00I love Legend!!

Other faves have been mentioned but just to reiterate Labyrinth(which is probably my favorite EVER), The Dark Crystal, Willow, The Neverending Story, Mirrormask(newer but if you haven't seen it you should, there is a cover of a carpenter song that is so creepy cool), LOTR, The Princess Bride, LadyHawke, The Court Jester...ummm...I really love fantasy movies... and fairy tales. Yeah...<br /><br />I love your goblin!!
