Classic-Epic-Fantasy-type films, either from your childhood or more recently...
    #8997227 -

The other night I watched WILLOW, which I haven't seen since I was like 8. It was surreal as fuck, watching a movie that had the nostalgia and familiarity of something I knew and loved, but not remembering FUCK ALL from it. All I could remember when I turned it on was what Willow's face looked like, and that there's a multi-headed dragon. (I thought it was 3-headed, ended up being 2-headed. Close enough.)

Anyway, inspired by this experience, I am seeking out other films from my childhood that I might have forgotten.

So, if anything comes to mind, post any movies that y'all loved watching as children.

I'm talking the kind of timeless stuff that can be watched at any age. (Princess Bride, for example.)

I'll also consider recommendations for more modern films in the same vein, but they've got to be good or I just can't sit through it. (Even LOTR felt far too long to me, though I'm sure the nostalgia will live on with youngins who grew up on it.)

Anybody gots any recommendations?

I already own that one. Definitely a good choice, though for some reason Sabastian came off as a whiney little prick when I watched it again at an older age. :wink:

P.S. Thank you for contributing to the thread, though. :smile:

Haha... okay, E.T. I will download. It has been a while since I saw that one. :smile:

Goonies I saw a few years ago. I'll probably look for a copy anyway for the heck of it though.

Thanks!

Did you ever watch the 1960 version of The Time Machine when you were a kid? It really sends me back in time when i watch it now, 15 years later.

Ahahaha... my girlfriend was into the Last Unicorn as a kid, I had never seen it... she made us watch it last year sometime. Pretty hilarious from an adult perspective.

"What have you DONE?!!!?!?!" that quote lived on in infamy amongst my circle of friends for the next six months after. :wink:

Legend, I can't remember what that one is. I'll look into it.

Of course I remember Labyrinth... I was scarred at a young age by David Bowie's bulging silver spandex package. :P

I'll give it another try, though. :wink:

When I got my legs smashed by a car (age 15) I was laid up in the hospital on morphine watching The Dark Crystal in a half-daze... I drifted off only to wake up at the scene where the crystal is sucking all the life out of him as he tries to put the shard back in.

I had a nervous breakdown. :\

I should probably watch it again, though. Might help me deal with some of the latent emotional trauma from the accident.

Thanks.

Man, I find myself in the utmost doubt about this one, because it's a cartoon, and because they pumped out like 14 horrible-looking sequels after.

But I did watch it as a child, so it will probably be a fun adventure anyhow.

Thanks Dan :awesome:

Legend is the kickass one with Tom Cruise and the devil with the gigantic horns and the demons n shit. Wicked flick! Remember they stole the unicorn and shit and cut off it's horn(source of power or something.)

Oh and just to throw this out there, Beetlejuice! That is next on my list of movies to watch while enlightened at the highest point. :shroomer:

Yeah man, I VAAAGUELY remember it. I checked on imdb, and it does look vaguely familiar, so I tracked down a copy and added it to my download queue. :smile:

Thanks much for your contributions!

And everyone else, too! This thread was an epic success! :awesome:

I'll take any more suggestions that anyone's got, of course. :wink:

Beetlejuice rocks, but it's one I never fell out of contact with for whatever reason. I've had a copy around most of my life, infact. :smile:

Mirrormask (2005)

I'd watch it sober first, but that's me... not like it's scary or anything, just a lot of ideas and types of art and realities we make. Hard to describe I guess.

But watch it though. Helena's cute anyway, even if you don't like the premise.

Well, I'm actually looking for some stuff to help fill the void that I've created by letting go of compulsive drug use, so sober is the way I'm flying either way.

Thanks for the reco... I remember hearing the name, but never did get my hands on a copy. I'll see what I can do!
