The 80's classic fantasy movie list
Technically, I am a child of the 70's (at least in that I was born in 1979). My memories from that decade, however, are a tad faint. Drugs? Nay, young age (I swear!).
So let us move on to that decadent cavorting era of trickle-down economics, violently humorous hairstyles, and new plateaus in superficial profundities -- the 80's. What a time to grow up. Myself, along with a few others in nearby generations, were raised not by those babbling self-declared autocrats known as "parents", but rather by the sweet nurturing wisdom of movies.
In memory of those monumental, moving, picturesque progenitors, I present for your reading pleasure, the following hand-crafted list of nastolgia-inducing classic fantasy flicks from said period:
The Neverending Story
Labyrinth
The Last Starfighter
The Dark Crystal
Tron
The Secret of NIMH
Willow
Explorers
The Goonies
Princess Bride
Legend
The Last Unicorn
Time Bandits

You left off Flight of the Navigator.
Oh yea, I loved that one as a kid. It's not the type of fantasy as, say, Willow, but it does have the same general appeal :)
Well said.
