Rewatched Conan The Barbarian

[Saint1]

James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom is one of my favorite movie villains of all time. Jones acted his ass off in that role but people don't recognize it because it was a sword & sorcery movie.

That 'Riddle of Steel' monologue is

Man I forgot how good that was. I'm gonna have to watch this again soon.

Marvel recently got the rights to the Conan Comic back but it's not really doing it justice.

Remaster to this level - my most desired blu-ray, no question


Basil P and Milius da gawds

 

[Lord_nikon]

one of my top favorite movies

 

[KalKal]

back when they used to market movies with nudity and blood to kids.

My favorite movie in this genre was Excalibur


The Movie Channel used to show the Unrated cut, which had softcore porno sex scenes equivalent to what you would see on Cinemax after midnight.

Tim Curry as the devil STOLE that fukking entire movie!!!

You ain't lied, couldn't believe that was actually him. Breh deserves his own thread in honor of a such a performance .

 

[WIA20XX]

Remake?

 

[Ces1ne?]

has to be in my top 10 movies. I don't know if James Earl Jones has a better scene than when Conan meets him the first time as a grown man. Flawless, every line is perfect. Goat villain and this is right after 2 OG Star Wars flicks.

That whole fantasy warrior era was though, lost to history never can be replicated no way you can make these today. They all basically had the same script though

The Beast Master
Dragonslayer
Krull
Ator
The Sword and the Sorcerer
etc.

Like tears in the rain

Dap/rep for 2nd paragraph. Sums it up, u can only catch lightning & fckery in a bottle once…...then it’s gone

When he made that girl leap to her death “THAT IS STRENGTH BOY, THAT IS POWER!”

The actual best swash buckling knights movie of the era .

Arguable best score in movie history.
Movie is how I saw everything. before I was supposed to.
Plus discovered cable had movie reruns...[what I called it as a kid]

shyt is goat'd.

Best and really only quality movie about knights in armor or king arthur ever made. Plus they will never make another one on this level of quality. As there is no director or anyone.
who had existential play.
to have enough invested care.
to make it better moving forward.

Completely a film of the time.
that will not be surpassed.

Picked up the Arrow set because of this thread. Looking forward to watching them.

 

[Stir Fry]

Funny this was just upped cause I watched it a few hours ago. Good stuff with some unintentional funny moments. He punches a camel.
