Do you guys know any ethereal and dreamlike fantasy films like Time Bandits, Exclaibur, and Legend?
>>68768500
yes, yes i do
it's like directors in the eighties used to base scripts on their weekly role playing campaigns

Well, what are they? Please do not mention Conan the Barbarian, as a beta male misogynist even the slightest hint of masculinity causes me to scream and rage.
pans labyrinth
neverending story
labyrinth
princess bride
dark crystal
willow
and streets of fire, which is not fantasy or dreamlike, but very much feels like a random party on a one shot adventure.

You'll never find anything quite like the director's cut of legend.

Greatest fantasy film ever made IMO
Is Ladyhawke any good? I remember trying to watch it years ago when I was still a huge pleb and getting bored with it

Labyrinth, Willow

Ladyhawke is a lot of fun, actually. It's got everything: Knights, battles, sorcery, romance, and a nice swordfight for the finale. Rutger Hauer is a total badass as the protagonist.

Hmm, I'm sold. Commencing download

Sweet, you won't be disappointed. The costuming and soundtrack are pretty 80's, but that just adds to the charm IMO.

I think Ladyhawke is well worth seeing, but it isn't a particularly good movie. It's more of a neat selection of images, contexts and scenes.
>>68771206
Watch also other Hauer's movies like Blood of Heroes and especially Flesh and Blood.
City of Lost Children
The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey

Dude, T&A-laden sword & sorcery grindhouse movies were this was a whole genre in the 80s

Ladyhawke is awesome

The TV mini-series of The Odyssey with Armand Assante is breddy goob. Really cool creature effects and beautiful scenery. Their depictions of Scylla and Charybdis in particular are great.
Some other fun fantasy TV mini-series would probably be Merlin (1998, stars Sam Neill), The Mists of Avalon, Gulliver's Travels, and Jason and the Argonauts (2000). They're all flawed, but strangely watchable.
Additionally, you can't go wrong with the classic Swords & Sandals movies, such as Jason and the Argonauts (1963) or Clash of the Titans (1981).

Mia Sara is prime waifu material

I miss that era of schlocky 80's Conan ripoffs that capitalized on the boom of VHS
In the end though, only Excalibur and Conan still stand supreme against the test of time
The New World
