Love the variety in this list relative to the other (clearly lesser) bro-tubers.

I think WIZARDS should be added to the list. Bakshi's attempt at sword/sorcery before he tackled the abomination that was HIS version of Lord of the Rings

Certainly in my Top 20 for sure.

While I love your list, and I agree with most of your picks, Excalibur is definitely Swords & Sorcery. It has plenty of both as well as many ample, strong, and beautiful female characters. It's a beautiful film, powerful soundtrack, incredible locations - it has it all! Also, Fire and Ice is so nice to look at and the savagery of the world is clear. Not sure why it'd be controversial to be so high on your list.

I follow your thinking but feel Excalibur, a movie I absolutely love with every fiber of my being, fails to meet the definition of sword and sorcery, and is why other films, such as The Lord of the Rings, do not fit the bill either. As for Fire and Ice, I find myself far too frequently in the position of defending the film against those who want to bash it. They, of course, are wrong.

Great choices! 'The Northman' is an absolutely excellent number one. Perfectly realized sorcery.

Great picks Bob! I'd forgotten Tim Curry was in Legend! "Everyone touched on Ladyhake"...except me...because I totally spaced on that one! (is there sorcery in 13th Warrior??? ~ one of my all time favorite films!). The Northman...ugh another film I completely spaced on. A GREAT number one pick!

I need to rewatch 'Legend'...I know I didn't speak too highly of it. (Though I do remember liking it.) I remember Tim Curry be amazing.

With 'Legend', am I correct in remembering that there are (at least) 2 different versions soundtrack-wise? ('Tangerine Dream' and then something else?)
@occultdetective

Indeed there are. And I appreciate both.

Great list. Season Of The Witch is the only one I haven't seen. I'll give that a look. The Northman is a great Conan-like movie. Even to the point of putting The Thing In The Crypt in there. One of my favorite non-Howard Conan tales.

Thanks. Season of the Witch is worth a look. Just don't let the acting get in the way of the story.

Wait a sec, Bro. Excalibur is NOT a sword and sorcery movie. A movie whose plot revolves around the greatest Mythical Sword in fiction and arguably one of the greatest ficitional wizards EVER? Maybe im delusional but WHAT exactly defines a Sword and Sorcery movie, if not a legendary sword and sorcerer????
@occultdetective
@occultdetective 4 месяца назад
I love Excalibur, but I see it as a romance, in the original meaning of the word.
@occultdetective
@occultdetective 4 месяца назад
And Sword and Sorcery should have pulp sensibilities... the name stemming from an attempt to characterize Robert E. Howard's Conan stories.
@jaxirraywhisper741

You could classify Excalibur as fantasy, as mythology or as mythological fiction. It kins a lot to the likes of Lord of the Rings (legend about king arthur is by the way one of the Tolkiens inspirations) and arguably inspiration to Witcher aswell. All ofthese while being High to Low Fantasy genrses do not really fit into sword and sorcery, as sword and sorcery is usually calssified as something more brutal and less romantic, more focused on heroics, power and masculinity.

I'm surprised there's no mention of "Willow". Does it not count as a sword-and-sorcery film? It sure beats the hell out of some films in the list.
@occultdetective

I must have been too old for Willow. It never worked for me, but I understand why others love it.

I saw 'Sword and the Sorcerer' when it first came out, and thought it was terrible. A few years ago, I saw a dvd of it in a bargain bin, and picked it up, but for some reason never got around to watching it. Last night, (having seen your video), I watched it again. Or twenty eight minutes of it at least. 'It's got problems'; yes. Yes it has, so I'm going to have to (respectfully) disagree with you on that one. Lee Horsley's hardened mercenary character does seem to have found enough time in his busy fighting schedule to maintain an impressive bouffant, and how do the blades get back on that sword? Incidentally, I saw something on RU-vid about film stunts gone wrong, and apparently the stuntman was killed in the bit where the sorcerer gets chucked off a cliff, but they left it in, which I think is a bit questionable. I did like the 'very small threat' line, though. Great list otherwise!
