Good 80's fantasy movies?

[krunchyfrogg]

What movies are some good ones that I could probably find pretty cheap out there on eBay and such?

I remember really loving "The Barbarians" for it's stupid humor, and movies like "Hawk, The Slayer" and "Iron Warrior".

Anything else people can name?

 

[Oni]

Willow
Conan the Barbarian
Dragonslayer
The Dark Crystal

Wizards and Warriors <-- While neither a movie (it's a tv series) or good, it is hilariously bad and thus awesome. I wish I had them myself, if I did I'd go watch some right now just thinking about it.

+1 to all that Oni listed!
Plus these:

The Beastmaster
The Sword and the Sorcerer (I wouldn't call it "good", but...)

 

[Klaus]

Conan The Barbarian
Beastmaster
Willow
Dragonslayer
Legend
Ladyhawke

 

[Lhorgrim]

Good call on Ladyhawke and Legend, Klaus.

What about The Princess Bride?

 

[Rykion]

Clash of the Titans
Excalibur
Krull
The Never Ending Story

"Krull" combines scifi and fantasy. "The Never Ending Story" is a kids fantasy movie.

Edit: added Excalibur to the list.

I just received Fire and Ice from Netflix and plan to enjoy it this weekend. I've only ever seen bits and pieces of it and waited a long time for it to come to DVD.

 

[Klaus]

Clash of the Titans
Excalibur
Krull
The Never Ending Story

"Krull" combines scifi and fantasy. "The Never Ending Story" is a kids fantasy movie.

Edit: added Excalibur to the list.

Ooh, good call! I second this entire list!

Princess Bride is more swashcukling than fantasy proper, but it's been too long since I watched it, so it may qualify.

Oh, I'll add Labyrinth to the list!
