What are your favourite 80s fantasy movies? - eviltoast

I’ve been catching up on and rewatching some lately. Legend, Highlander, The Never ending Story. What are some others that are similar? And why do 80s movies seem to hit different than other decades?

    The dark crystal is the greatest fantasy movie of all time.

    One of the reasons I think they hit different is because of the technology used to film them and the practical effects.

    To me horror films from the 70s and before seem more real and scary than modern ones that are full of CGI and weird pallete swaps like when they film night scenes during the day and then darken them after. It just gives off this whole ‘this is a fake movie’ thing to me.
