Favourite Sword and Sorcery Movies?

[samurainoir]

What fantasy movies featuring Barbarians, Sorcerers, Dragons, scantily clad women and swordplay are amongst your favourites? Feel free to include guilty pleasures!

I don't really have a head for fantasy in general so the majority of what I like is low rent junk like Death Stalker, Beast Master and I'm proud to say I own a VHS of this:


The female lead is topless for the entire thing, which is likely why it wasn't on MST3K.

Wow, I have a few and I am in the process of transffering some vhs only titles over to disc which I have not seen (such as Sorceress, 1982) but I can easily say that:

Beastmaster will always be a favorite or possibly my favorite

as well as the hidden comedy

Deathstalker 2 (made even better by the dvd commentary where the writers and director mock the film)

Army of Darkness

How about the Sword and the Sorcerer? The trailer for the sort of sequel just hit last week.

Oh and Yor Hunter from the Future is awesome. Gotta love Reb Brown.

Hmmmm....

-The Sword and the Sorcerer
-Record of Lodoss War
-the MST3K version of Cave Dwellers (*bing-bong!*)

I haven't seen "Deathstalker 2," but SO MANY people I know absolutely love it.

"Hawk the Slayer"

Deathstalker 2 is absolutely wonderful. Particularly since you have Monique Gabrielle co-starring with herself as her own evil twin.


I have a fondness for Barbarian Queen.

[Nostalgiabuff]

^^ can't imagine why you would have a fondness for her.

"Hawk the Slayer"SC

A man after my own heart -- I knew there was something I liked about you, SC!

I'll add "Beastmaster" as well.

Aside from the obligatory Beastmaster and WIllow, I really enjoyed the Miles O'Keefe fantasy movies of the early 80's. The Ator series and Sword of the Valiant are pretty decent, but full-on cheese fest.

And I suppose, though it might be out of category, Excalibur. Awesome film.

I love them all.They are usually very cheesy and lame but I am sucked in by the glorious poster art usually a boris.
Some of my favorites include;
Bestmaster
Conan
Ator the fighting eagle
Deathstalker 1 and 2
