Does anyone else love '80s Fantasy films?

They were a different breed, then. More character-driven. Intimate. Gorgeous soundtracks. Practical effects. Good times.

The Empire Strikes Back
Conan the Barbarian
The Dark Crystal
The Secret of NIMH
Dragonslayer
Legend (The Director's Cut rocks!)
Labyrinth
Willow

Any favorites?

Big Trouble In little China has always been a fav. I can watch it again and again (with a few months of separation, as with any favorite film).

I must have seen that movie over a dozen times, the summer it was at the discount cinema.
