The Return of Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

[Blue Orange]

So we are differentiating sword & sorcery from epic fantasy, then? I wasn't sure as there aren't that many fantasy movies out there.

In that case I'd recommend Spine of Night, if nobody's seen it. But if we're separating the genres, the 80s is probably the peak of the genre.

People don't usually talk about S&S unless they want to differentiate it from fantasy in general.

There really are just two decent S&S movies and two good epic fantasy movies (or three, if you think Return of the King was good) out there.
Fantasy movies are generally junk.
