Favourite Sword and Sorcery Movies?

there really is a lot of films to this genre and after reading more posts which in turn triggered more memories, I would have to say I love a good 90% of films in this genre

also in my conversion to disc box is ator, hawk and some other stuff (like "hearts and armour") . I am aware Hawk had a nice dvd reg 2 release and I think Ator might have, but I am going to convert these wonderful super old "big box:" vhs versions over soon for the nostalgic viewing

oh and for those that care the Barbarians had a recent region 2 dvd release
you can get it from these good guys here in the US

Reading the lists no much to choose from, shame, just a lot of cheese, apart from the all mighty LOTR. I dont know if this one counts, but here goes "warlords of atlantis" with Doug Mcclure, I just love all his B movie films.

Does anybody ever remember that horrible piece of crap called "The Barbarians"?
It had the twin weightlifters David and Peter I think they were.

Sadly I must admit I even liked that...LOL

yeah i liked it, they had a hot chick

I just watched Fire and Ice for the first time yesterday. Had it on my netflix list for months but it was never available. I was very impressed with it. While I always liked how Bashki's Lord of the Rings looked, the storytelling was too slow and stilted. I've never made it all the way through it. I figured this would be about the same, but it was so much better. Love how they worked in so many cool Frazetta paintings into the story.

I love this film too. I wonder if they will be releasing a Blueray version soon.

I'd put Arthurian & Robin Hood movies aside in their own genre, and LOTR is an opus unto itself.

For repeat viewing of classic S&S cheesiness, I'd choose:

BeastMaster
Hawk the Slayer

Deathstalker II & Yor are guilty pleasures, too
