    Cool 80s fantasy flicks

    Ok, bitches, time to give Game of Thrones and all those other US tv shows a rest for the moment.. Time for some 80s sword and sorcery.

    You've got the famous ones like Conan the Barbarian but also the obscure Italian stuff. I've seen a bunch of them but I'm always looking for more.

    Some of my favourites:

    Sword of the Valiant
    Excalibur
    Masters of the Universe (a bit of a science fiction/fantasy cross breed)
    Krull
    The Never Ending Story
    Lucio Fulci's Conquest
    Ator III: Iron Warrior

    I'll think of more, just tell us your favourites. I still have a bunch of Italian stuff I want to check out.

    I just watched DeathStalker on netflix. It's incoherent and hilarious.

    I haven't seen Deathstalker yet but I remember that VHS cover. Such as awesome poster.

    Yes, a lot of these movies are incoherent but that's what I love about them. It's fantasy. It isn't supposed to be 100% logical and make a lot of sense. A lot of these movies are very dreamlike in atmosphere.

    I am referring more to the editing/structure when I say incoherent. It's definitely a fun movie. There's 3 sequels plus the spin off Barbarian Queen & countless others Corman produced at the time.

    Incoherent

    I just had a quick look throught it. Looks awesome. I'll probably check it out next weekend.

    Btw, I saw some of Barbarian Queen. Poor girl who starred in that movie was murdered. Really sad.

    Yeah Beastmaster is Don Coscarelli's most underratd film compared to his Phantasm series and Bubba Ho-Tep. A very entertaining sword and sorcery adventure.

    The Sword and the Sorcerer

    I thought I read somewhere that a sequel was being made after all these years.

    I remember downloading a torrent for The Sword and the Sorcerer but I don't think I watched it. Will have to try again.

    They made the sequel - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_an_Ancient_Empire (haven't seen it, though)

    ^Most of those aren't fantasy. I meant sword and sorcery flicks, mainly. I guess you could say a few of those, like Erik the Viking or Beetlejuice. But not Batman, Videodrome, Dune or Ghostbusters.
