Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

'Dirty Girls'


Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

I'd probably at least attempt the Moonstruck "Snap out of it!" slap, but if someone insisted on shrieking and otherwise reducing everybody's chances of survival I'd quickly start thinking of the most opportune way to jettison them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fun Guardian thread on Epic 80s Cult Fantasy Movies.

One list:

15.- "Conan the Destroyer"
14.- "Clash of the Titans"
13.- "The Labyrinth"
12.- "Return to OZ"
11.- "Legend"
10.- "The Dark Crystal"
9.- "Krull"
8.- "Highlander"
7.- "Time Bandits"
6.- "Conan the Barbarian"
5.- "Erik the Viking"
4.- " The Neverending story"
3.- " The Adventures of Baron Munchausen"
2.- "Excalibur"
1.- "Willow"

Labyrinth behind Dark Crystal?! Will Jilli let that stand? Legend behind Willow? Where's Princess Bride? List Fail.

Labyrinth behind Dark Crystal?!

Labyrinth behind KRULL?! Willow at #1?! No, I do not agree with that list whatsoever.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Right?

Willow should definitely not be #1.

And while I'd say The Adventures of Baron Munchausen deserves a high place on the list quality-wise, I've never gotten the impression that it was a big cult touchstone like Time Bandits or Labyrinth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lee Pace is coming up in the world. Apparently he'll be playing Thranduil in The Hobbit.

Oh, I saw Dylan Dog, Dead of Night yesterday. Unremarkable supernatural action-adventure, but the comedic bits were entertaining thanks to Sam Huntington.

Good for Lee Pace.
