The Color of Magic
Just finished watching this DVD. Yes it is the one with Rincewind. It was very good and followed the book fairly closely. As far as I know you can only see it on DVD. I got mone from Amazon. Give it a try.

Re: The Color of Magic
What's the basic idea behind the story?

Re: The Color of Magic
Have you ever read any of Terry Pratchetts books? Then you are aware of his Discworld. A world that rides on the back of four elephants, standing on a giant tuttle. This film is on the first two books with the characters like Rincewind, a failed wizard, two Flower, Discworlds first tourist, Cohen the Barbarian, and the Luggage and a whole host of other characters. The film follows the books fairly closely but because of time and cost left out a few things. Oh yes the dialog is colse to the books also. I can recommend this film as a good fantasy and you may want to read the rest of the series. There are three other Discworlc films that I know of: The Wyrd Sisters, The Hog Father, and Soul Music.
Hope this helps.

Re: The Color of Magic
I read one of his books around 14 years ago. I can barely remember it, but I do know I never laughed so much with a book than I did then. I always intended to explore the rest of the Discworld and its novels, but never got around to it. Perhaps I should now. Will give the movie a watch once I am done with the actual book of the same name.
Not sure if you would know, but the novel I read back in the day was about a witch iirc, or possibly a female wizard. She was very funny, and I think she rode around on a broom. That is literally all I can recall, even looked at a list of novels in the hopes it would refresh my memory but no luck on remember the title.

Re: The Color of Magic
It doesn't ring a bell although it could be, but if I remember right, the name of the book was some kind of play on words. Man, it's annoying me now. It was about a witch but I don't think it was about that particular witch. Maybe she was a hag or something who could do magic.

Re: The Color of Magic
Okay I found it, it's called "Equal Rites". God, I remember it fondly now.
