Does it get any better than this?
Poetic romance
Barbarian hordes
The best sled ride this side of Clark W. Griswold
Epic beasties
"Run away, run away!"
Witty banter
Gender neutral action & adventure!
Wicked mumsies
Mystic riddles
Wholesome goodness
The spoops
And the cutest floofs!
Fantasy definitely doesn't have to run three and a half hours to immerse you in the world, or feast on doom & gloom. I'd love to see more movies in this vein on the big screen.

Internet never fails to read my mind This was the exact thought I had today “Dadda Dadda!” “ I stole the baby from the stupid dikini”

I think the troll>acorn>hydra scene is well burned into the memory of anyone who's seen this masterpiece

I laughed way to hard at this movie as a child... I now believe it was my start to becoming an asshole

I don't love her, she kicked me in the face. (your line is my favorite line so I went with a not as good but still pretty great line)

Pigs!! You're ALL PIGS!!

Cool! I made a Star Wars mash up poster for that movie for no reason a while back
Prionalurus
Same creator so no harm no foul
lazywheelman
The book series set after the movie is well worth the read.
MrPeebles
I really, really loved the novel immediately after Willow, but I didn't feel the other two books quite lived up to that. Good read, doe.

Ive been afraid to rewatch because childhood memories are pleasant.
MrPeebles
It really is still great. It stands up to watching again.

You are my sun, my moon, my starlight sky. Without you I dwell in darkness.

It went away?? "I dwell in darkness without you" and it went away???

Epic movie, Warwick Davis is the man, 5/7, will watch every time it was on WGN

"Ignore the bird. Follow the river."
MechaNinja
I always thought Willow looked EXACTLY like one of those D grade fantasy movies, except it was a great movie. Kinda weird to me.
MrPeebles
Some of it definitely had campy elements to it, but it was really well acted and fun in just the right ways.
MechaNinja
It looked like one of those bad fantasy movies that they accidentally made well.
MrPeebles
Accidentally indeed. It's a George Lucas flick, hah, but directed by Ron Howard.
youknowwhyimhere6969
Isn't that the dude that played The Leprechaun?
AnAliyAiden
Also Professor Flitwick and griphook the Goblin
TheBigLittleDipper
Warwick Davis
Barkinsons
This reminds me that I once saw Leprechaun 4: In Space when I came home drunk at 4AM. Even while drunk it was hard to handle
TheAngryMarineBiologist
And the main Ewok
TheMandaloreWhore
Yep
ferret100
And In Merlin, "The Eye of the Phoenix"
crowkiller06
Also, Wickett the Ewok.
RishiMaru
I believe Warwick also did turns as R2 when Kenny Baker didn't. ... Could be wrong though.

And Wickett

Something about Val Kilmer aging badly

General Kael's skull helmet was the coolest thing.

Wife and I did mushrooms 2 summers ago and watched this. Couldn't stop laughing. I kept coming up with names for mad martigan.
sweetmotherofdirtytricks

We stole the baby from a stupid daykini while he was taking a pee pee!

One of them was Kevin Pollack, stand up comedian and Todd Hockney from Usual Suspects.
HeatherEK13
And the other one was Rick Overton, who was Rufus on the Bill and Ted tv show.

Also one of the grandparents on the Mrs. Maisel show.

All you did was hang around and eat our eggs, eh?

The Brownies were the best.

Great soundtrack too!

I could hear it the second I read your comment. Sadly, James Horner was killed in a plane accident a few years ago.

Yes, the 80's was a good time for fantasy adventure movies
lobosrul
Ok, this, Princess Bride, Krill, Conan... and?
lobosrul
I meant Krull.
UncleVenoM
Star wars?
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
And yet most of them flopped :(
FrellingFarbot
I wouldn't say most. Alot of them did flounder, but there were also alot that did well and also have big cult followings.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Did they?
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
Lord of the Rings was expected to fail because high fantasy HISTORICALLY flounders at the box office.
The1stBellicose
Many good films do
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
Yeah I'm not saying box office flops are all bad movies. I fucking loved Dredd.
svoka
could you provide more titles please? I like fantasy movies, but it is hard to find them for some reason.
FrellingFarbot
Red Sonya, Conan The Barbarian, The Neverending Story, Ladyhawk, The Beastmaster, krull, The Dark Crystal, Legend, Excalibur, Dragonslayer.

All the Henson puppets and stop motion combined with the 80s dark-glam-fantasy... amazing stuff.
