Been watching those "1980s Dark Fantasy" AI parodies and now I wanna watch some actual kinos with the aesthetic. What are the best older fantasy films? Already seen Excalibur, Return to Oz, Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth.
Krull
The Sword and the Sorcerer
vampire hunter d bloodlust
>>220164354You use AI and support the decay of human arts and now you want real people to help you get recommendations? Fuck off.
yor the hunter from future
Ladyhawke
Perinbaba (1985)
>>220164354Picrel was a fun watch.
>>220164810Shut up you disgusting faggot.
>>220164810/thread
>>220164354>dorian concept - hide (cs01 version + slowed).m4a
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L8pHKP-vv4&tand Excalibur (1981), the movie that stole the visuals and went even further with it
>>220164810I can smell your gaping wound from here, troon.
>>220164536This an Albert Puyn B-movie. The OP asked for kino.
>>220165510>>220164810Dilate loser
>>220164354Legend (Director's Cut)
>>220165930The Sword and the Sorcerer is not a B movie, it's more like a C movie, or a D movie, but it's still a good time, and Lee Horsley is awesome.
These aren’t all 1:1 but are largely Sword and Sorcery adjacent, varying levels of quality and darkness:ExcaliburThe 13th WarriorThe Sword and the SorcererConquestSheKrullFire and IceLadyhawkeLegendWillowBarbarian QueenAtor: The Fighting EagleHawk the SlayerYor Beastmaster DeathstalkerLegendSolomon KaneBlack DeathSeason of the WitchYour Highness But also, sort your shit out if you’ve just been sat watching AI fake 80’s movie compilations. That’s sad behaviour, Anon.
>>220165242Sword of the Valiant is excellent. Highly recommend.Also Ladyhawke is a gorgeous film.
>>220164810Take it easy!>>220165242Holy hell, now there's an unlocked memory! I'm gonna have to watch that later.
>>220164810Lmao you use the printing press and support the death of the scribe? Fucketh off.You absolute seething troon.
Flesh and Blood
how the fuck has nobody said Conan yet? the sequel is pretty good, too.
>>220167002We were waiting for you bitch What took you so long?
>>220166145>Hawk the SlayerHawk the Slayer is RUBBISH
>>220167002I still need to watch the sequel
BEASTMASTER
>>220166145>Black Deathincredibly good even though its simple
>>220167785oh shit it's donna's mom
>>220164354Dragonslayer 1981, still one of the best looking dragon on film
>>220166930>Flesh and BloodThat's an anti-fantasy film. Just shitty people in a shitty time behaving really really shitty. That being said? It's interesting...
>>220164354Go a little farther back into the late 70s and get some Wizards in your life. Its definitely what you would end up calling dark fantasy
>>220164354Willow. Don't watch the show. I honestly didn't totally hate it but it will never get a proper conclusion. It was however hated and Disney went so far as to remove it from Disney+. I think wrote it off for tax purposes or something.
orochi the eight headed dragon is probably the most underrated sword and sorcery flick I'm aware of. pretty sure it's still on archive.org>>220166145didn't think anyone else ever watched conquest but I really like it despite the low quality
>>220169490good memory
>>220164354The next step is Balenciagahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtnt84CDP-s
>>220164354>1980s dark fantasy thread>not one person mentions The Neverending StoryGave some kids nightmares
>>220169074Only screen dragon that actually feels threatening and scary
>>220164354The Company Of Wolves90's but Snow White: A Tale Of Terror
The consequences of not gatekeeping.
>>220171107how did trannies get every job?
>>220164810Based. Ignore the butthurt AI shills.
I can't believe no one's said Conan the Barbarian yet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmnbK9VR7VM
>>220164354maybe somebody can help me out with the identification of an 80's kids fantasy movie. i think it was foreign. mexico or spain or somethin. not sure. had to have been dubbed to English. as i recall vaguely, there were scenes centered around a soda drink, probably coca cola. perhaps pepsi. so the movie was promoting the drink, and one of the kids is feeding coca cola to some friendly fantasy creature. cant really describe what else i vaguely remember. i'd most likely recognize the movie if i saw scenes again
>>220164810True. Kys op.
>>220164354>The Golden Voyage of Sinbadi was loving it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-fiPqO8uUMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsZzfQNzKMkthen the good vs bad happened, the good didn't even try and help the griffin and i hated Sinbad, his crew and this movie forever morehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzGw_4sCjfc>yes but it representseat shit.
>>220167785That says 'Mirakurumasutaa' (Miraclemaster).
Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Legend is High Kino.Tim Curry. Mia Sara. Tom "look at my unfixed teeth" Cruise. It's basically an old school D&D campaign made into a movie.
>>220164682the pre-historic and the what now?
>>220164354>>220172179also Jason and the Argonauts (classic)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8goVW2TNlE0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYDRrLyPHkg
Ruslan and Ludmilla, Ilya Muromets, Tsar Saltan etc basically anything by Aleksandr Ptushko or Aleksandr Rou.
Beowulf 1999https://youtu.be/9bLbL28UKfc?si=CVoXzjjUsm0s487S
>>220172637>LegendWhen you notice that at no point Cruise wears pants and he's just going around in his underwear you cannot stop seeing it
>>220164810the funny thing is, the retard that is OP supposedly could just look up some of them and watch the most well regarded ones first and then work himself down. and even the good ones are quite numerous, so he would sit through hours upon hours before having to go into more obscure and maybe even foreign film territory. i wonder how people like OP are so helpless in this digital age, with even shitty algorythms dictating their lives but seemingly unable to make good use of them. like a toddler almost. and i thought i was a lost cause, but future generations will be off worse and worse till we as humanity will simple cease to exist, literally devolve.
>>220173261Based Sovietkino enjoyer.
>>220172637I watched 30 minutes before turning it off because it was so boring.
>mention ai>retards start shitting and pissing themselvesThanks for the recs, anons. Gonna start watching some of them tonight.>>220164758Already seen it several times but thanks for reminding me to watch that new BD transfer. It looks amazing.
>>220164354Kaschei the Immortal 1944
>>220164810Slayy qween xister
>>220164354Legend
>>220171567>>220171872>>220175526hello r£ddit
>>220178200Your attention span is fried.
not gonna lie I like the texture that AI gaves to those DF videos, the texture of a dream or a very vivid imagination.I don't think "real" recorded videos can achieve that atmosphere.for the same reason I don't think you can use AI to make a whole movie because the atmosphere or texture depends upon its umprompted unscripted nature, it works because it's a dream.
>>220178200watch it with the tangerine dreams soundtrack also... you are missing out the story is non existent but the dream like atmosphere is second to nonehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOydrv2pAyMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhAAvMjaNwUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pH6AHQO8Qw
>>220165242b-but that's an axe
>>220169074Dragonslayer is the goat dark fantasy kino, literally overshadows itself in a castle corner away from the rest>>220166145Even this anon omitted it. Pathetic
>>220171107First arcade game I ever played was Golden Axe which did DF better than most 80s movies, ht Dragon's Lair
Where's the go-to for old kinos? Rutracker is hit or miss and and 1337 is usually only low quality releases.
>>220181055qbit search bar
Dont forget early 1980s heavy metql music scene. Holy diver was an infamous example:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2lvs2FzF64o
>>220164354Thread is still up without pic related?
>>220165930>>220166025Check out the Sword and the SorcerESS ... lots of fun and tiddys.
>>220164354>What are the best older fantasy films?Cave of the Golden Rose TV movies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL4IZG8kU9Y
>>220180127Was there really a EU cut with nudity?
>>220167785Those bird people that would melt you into bones when they trapped you in their wings were fucking creepy as fuck.
>>220169411nta, and I get your point but look, the lightning strike scene is fantasy enough ok.Anyway OP, I think you should probably check out Flight of Dragons and The Last Unicorn. They're somewhat aimed at kids (though bristling with adult themes and poignancy) but you're definitely gonna get your fix aesthetically. Also great voice acting in both of 'em.
>>220164354LegendLadyhawkeViy (67)The FallThe Hourglass SanatoriumValerie and Her Week of Wonders
>>220173261>>220173411Based, love these movies
>>220183318>Valerie and Her Week of WondersLove this movie but not sure I'd consider it fantasy.
>>220175526You're being a little clueless bc these threads are supposed to be conversational rather than robotic. There are recs, bant, quips, rants, insights etc and we can actually reply to one another
>>220183656It's surrealist fantasy-- there are witches, vampires and so on. But I get what you mean inthe sense that it's one of the movies on my list that do not follow the hero's journey narrative that we usually associate with the genre
>>220183740ok Buffy the Vampslayer
No one mentioned Quest (1984) yet? It's a short film but it's fantastic
>>220164388Good one. Also checked.
>>220169074Hell yes.
>>220169074Hell yes. One of the best wizards ever, too.
>>220183255Those things scared the shit out of little me.
>>220164758It's a crap movie but it looks good.
>>220164354Where do I procure a robe like this?
Why is everyone recommending Legend, It is absolutely god-awful.
>>220178939>that new BD transferWhen was this? I might need to grab the new version in that case.
>>220180792>Golden AxeFunny you mentioned that, coz it uses a whole bunch of uncredited audio samples from Conan the Barbarian and other 80s movies.
>>220186799Tim Curry makes it worth watching. As Tim Curry does for most thingsAnyway, nobody has mentioned Black Cauldron yet. There's also an argument for The Secret of Nimh being 80s dark fantasy.
>>220186879Black Cauldron was scary when i was 5. watched it again last year and was surprised that the ending was rushed. would love to see a live action that respects the book, but we know that will never happen
>>2201649769/10 recommendation, Millennial Bee is also good
>>220169074>2 legs and wingsthat's a wyvern
>>220186809https://nyaa.si/view/1964005
>>220186879
Is the new Deathstalker any good?
>>220188637God I love how expressive 2D animation used to be
>>220164354Here OP, take this with a grain of salt since some titles are post 2000s. >>220165143Good recommendations here too
>>220165808quite kino.. thanksgot any more like it?
>>220183177Sorry, I meant Warrior and the Sorceress
>>220171107how does one gatekeep properly
>>220167002Everyone in this thread assumes that everyone else already watched Conan.
