Semi-forgotten 1E like fantasy movies.

[AxeMental]

Trying to remember some of the more obscure 1Eish feeling movies of the past. Conan is of course well known. One I'd forgotten about and just rewatched was Sword and the Sorcerer. I thought this movie had the 1E vibe when I first saw it at the theaters (like 82 or 83').


Talon and his group, a very 1E-ish group of CNs I'd guess. I once based a PC on this guy.



Ajax. Forgot he was in this (he was also in The Deep I think).

Hawk The Slayer

Great

[Juju EyeBall]

Season of the Witch

[TRP]

Journey To The Center of The Earth with James Mason.

[Falconer]

I love that movie, TRP.

Journey To The Center of The Earth with James Mason.

That's a fun movie. For some reason, it's the movie I most want to watch when I'm ill.

The Sword & the Sorcerer was a movie that my godfather let me and my brother Phil watch when we were staying over with him sometime when we were ~13 and 11 or so. It must have gone straight to cable, or perhaps he had a copy on VHS or something. Anyway, we loved it, and my brother immediately created a tri-sword wielding NPC ruler for one of the kingdoms of his campaign world.

Fun, fun stuff! (And it's now in my Netflix queue as well ).

Another vote for this movie. I've watched it a half dozen times in the last few years with my kid. She's a big James Mason fan too.

Hey TRP, speaking of Netflix, check out "Iron Clad". Its pretty entertaining (made last year or so, so has nothing to do with this thread). Has Buliwyf from 13th warrior (the viking king who gets poisoned) he looks exactly the same, pretty amazing given its been a decade.

Also has teh guy that played the original Hannibal Lector from Man Hunter (ie. the real Hannibal, not that charleton Anthony Hopkins ).

I love that movie, TRP.

Caught that one for free on Amazon Prime a few months back. What a wonderful film it is.

Labyrinth, Krull

That guy was scary. Manhunter was an awesome movie -- Silence of the Lambs had the same tension, but Manhunter was a scarier movie. And the book (Red Dragon) is fucking terrifying.

I have the sequel to The Sword and the Sorcerer (courtesy of Netflix) sitting at home. I loved the original one, but I've heard such awful things about this new one that I'm sort of afraid to watch it.

As for older movies, At The Earth's Core is a pretty fun version of Burroughs. I've stolen ideas from it more than once for D&D adventures, and it has the advantage of having such a great cast (Doug McClure, Peter Cushing, and Caroline Munro).

Hawk The Slayer

Great

Darn tootin'! Cheesy but great fun.

This movie and Blood of Heroes I enjoy because of the "Party of Adventurers" with class roles and etc. Plus the quotes from them are fun too. Nobody carries the Dogboy... just sayin'

I didn't know that the sequel ever got made. Tales of the Ancient Empire was advertised. Whats the title?

[Black Vulmea]

Krull

I've got Krull sitting on the DVR right now, waiting for a free couple of hours to watch it.

The cast is really something: Rob Roy, Hagrid, the baron de Mornay, Lady Jessica, and the candy man from Willy Wonka.
