The 80's classic fantasy movie list
Technically, I am a child of the 70's (at least in that I was born in 1979). My memories from that decade, however, are a tad faint. Drugs? Nay, young age (I swear!).
So let us move on to that decadent cavorting era of trickle-down economics, violently humorous hairstyles, and new plateaus in superficial profundities -- the 80's. What a time to grow up. Myself, along with a few others in nearby generations, were raised not by those babbling self-declared autocrats known as "parents", but rather by the sweet nurturing wisdom of movies.
In memory of those monumental, moving, picturesque progenitors, I present for your reading pleasure, the following hand-crafted list of nastolgia-inducing classic fantasy flicks from said period:
The Neverending Story
Labyrinth
The Last Starfighter
The Dark Crystal
Tron
The Secret of NIMH
Willow
Explorers
The Goonies
Princess Bride
Legend
The Last Unicorn
Time Bandits

You left off Flight of the Navigator.
Oh yea, I loved that one as a kid. It's not the type of fantasy as, say, Willow, but it does have the same general appeal :)
Well said.
Hi! I've been following your website for a while now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Porter Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the good work!

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this,
like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do
with some pics to drive the message home a bit,
but instead of that, this is great blog. A great read.
I will certainly be back.
