My mom took my brother and I to a park one time because they were having a screening of Black Cauldron (a couple years before it came to VHS). But it was still light out and the projector screen was so small we couldn’t even see it. Had to wait a few more years before I ever saw it. Still, a worthwhile memory. 😊
Great list. I have watched everything on it except the Black Cauldron. Ladyhawke is one of my favorite movies of all time and helped me to fall in love with the fantasy genre. It deserved more love at the box office. I love your channel by the way!!! :)
Pretty sure I've seen all of those. Some of them I've only seen recently. I was a little disappointed by The Barbarians when I finally watched it thirty something years after it came out. I would say Ladyhawke is clearly the highest quality film on this list, though I would tend to categorize it as medieval fantasy instead of swords and sorcery (as I would also do with Highlander and The Black Cauldron). I think my dad had a copy of Hercules recorded on VHS, which I watched several times as a child.
You claimed the Hercules movie was highly inaccurate because he fought bears and robots? He did do all that in Greek Mythology. Hephaestus was infamous for creating mechanical devices that would--through magic--come to life then generally destroy their masters (how do you think his Latin counterpart, Vulcan, gained most of His fame? He forged a sword that could kill Gods: thus was half of the written sword-and-sorcery genre birthed).
