dan, The Princess Bride
databender, Conan the Barbarian, hands down, but Willow is a close second.
khannie, Does Highlander count?
JulesTheModest, Conan the Barbarian and The Princess Bride for me.
Thcdenton, Yup those two for sure
southsamurai, Hmmm,favorite? Hard call.
Labyrinth, Legend, Willow, and Ladyhawke have to be on the list.
But leaving out the Conan movies, Beastmaster, the Dark Crystal, and Krull seems wrong.
And then there’s the Never-ending Story and the Princess Bride, which have to be near the top, if not the top.
But there’s Baron Munchausen as well.
Fuck.
The Princess Bride is half comedy, so calling it a true fantasy movie may not be acceptable. But, it’s the one I’ve watched the most out of all my favorites, and it stands as one of mu favorites of any genre. So I guess that is it?
How the hell is this supposed to get narrowed down?
DarkShaggy, Baron Von Munchausen !!!
HoustonHenry, How did he not know the obvious answer?
runeko, Labyrinth
BruceTwarzen, Masters of the universe
harsh3466, Neverending Story.
DuckPuppet, The Nothing haunts my dreams to this day
Anticorp, Probably this one. Willow was a great movie for its era.
Zombiepirate, The Princess Bride.
One of the best films ever, 80’s fantasy or otherwise.
lemmyng, Time Bandits.
MudMan, I guess it depends on your definition of "fantasy". I'd take Labyrinth over Dark Crystal any day, but maybe that doesn't count?
The Beastmaster keeps popping in my head when I look at this, but I know it's not great. I just... remember it being on TV a bunch.
reddig33, Legend. Or Excalibur. Both are awesome.
Krull gets an honorable mention for hanging in there after initially being a flop.
Anticorp, Excalibur was so bad ass! That’s where I heard Carmina Buirana for the first time.
Eldritch, So many to choose from. But Ice Pirates was one that I don’t see mentioned a lot. That still stands in my memory.
TastyWheat, Hahahaha yes. The time travel fight is hilarious.
Eldritch, Also the starting point of a legend lol. I think it was one of Ron Perlman’s earlier movies. Though he’s been in a ton of good scifi/fantasy films. Not from the 80s but the city of lost children was another good one with him.
Crackhappy, This movie is an absolute classic. So janky and stupid but so much fun. Space herpes!
Poiar, Star Wars
