watership down
lord of the rings
conan
highlander
heavy metal
krull
the list could go for a while.
But one I must add.D&D the movie.NOT what we got but what it COULD have been and SHOULD have been.I bought a copy of the original screenplay off ebay about four years ago.Before hollywood "Fixed" it and made it to "appeal to a larger audiance" it actually was a good read.This would have added at least 45 mins to help flesh out the story,made big changes in interactions.Not have given us that everybody lives forever in happyness crap,(the end was quite different) .
I suspect the comic sidekick was an attempt to copy the hercules and or zena following.Many will dissagree but if you read what it could have been you would see how the it's downfall was the allmighty dollar.They never understood how this kind of movie isn't about opening weekend,but about fan loyality,and repeat viewings.
***off topic is there a spell check we could add to this site?***

Trust is indeed a shiny jewel,set in the stone of friendship.And much like any other stone can be use to crush the skulls of those unsuspecting.To clear the path for me to claim my rightfull place as master of all I survey.
