Ooh I just got the shivers and I haven't seen the flick in probably ten years.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

One thing I picked up when I first watched Ladyhawke as an adult was that when Phillipe is lying about what one lover said to or about the other lover, even though it was never actually said, it was still true.
Matthew Broderick's intermittent accent is forgiven because he's so darned cute and funny (and not in a Gimli way). I love his conversations with God and the lies he even tells himself "Not unlike escaping Mother's womb, God, what a memory!"

Didn't Tangerine Dream do the cheesy 80's music for Ladyhawke?

No, that was Legend. Loved it!
Whatever you do, do NOT watch the director's cut with the replaced music, it's awful!
Ladyhawke was scored by some guy named Andrew Powell (last movie he ever scored). I used to have a casette tape of it (that I might have recorded off the tv)

One reason it's impossible for me to take Excalibur seriously is because I keep breaking into lines or songs from Holy Grail/Spamalot.

The music of the film was composed by Andrew Powell, a composer and orchestrator most well known for his work with Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson for The Alan Parsons Project. Donner stated in the soundtrack's liner notes that he had been location-scouting with a steady soundtrack of the Projects' albums, and so he married music style to pictures in his mind before the film was even begun. Powell wrote the score and approached Parsons to produce the music, thus making it appear to be an instrumental album of the band. Parsons is often mistaken as the composer for the film.
Cool.
*just listened to some APP*
Except for the part where that signature APP beat is my biggest pet peeve in the entire movie.

Compassionately intolerant
I love absolutely every little teeny thing about Ladyhawke.
The sword plunged into the earth...honor, morality, sacrifice and unbounded love. Jeez. I've got to see it again.
