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?

Tie between Time Bandits and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen…well dammit, Robin Williams as King of the Moon wins, Munchausen re-watch time!
I firmly believe Time Bandits is the best time travel movie of all time.
I think that movie was the original reason why George became my favourite Beatle.
“Hello! I’m Hood!”
Concentrated evil. There should be a lot of stuff. Some way to bridge now and then.
Dragonslayer was pretty good.
This along with Legend. Excalibur was really good too.
“We are all animals, my lady…”
Came looking for this. I particularly liked how everything you’d expect to happen, doesn’t. It ignores the traditional fantasy script and is refreshing doing so.
Labyrinth and The Last Unicorn were two that came to mind
It’s all about the babe. Labyrinth should be top comment!
What babe?
1982’s “Conan the Barbarian” is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s breakout role as an actor.
Ladyhawke, Conan…
Clash of the Titans
Excalibur is a gorgeous film with a talented cast.
Dark Crystal is an amazing Jim Henson production.
Beastmaster is a fun romp with 80s stalwart Mark Singer. And as someone else mentioned, Ladyhawke is another fun adventure in the same vein.
Anáil nathrach orth bhais betha, do cheol déanta.
Not sure if it quite counts as fantasy but…
Everything about Blade Runner was perfect.
The sequel somehow managed to not drop the ball as well.
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai.
Wherever you go, there you are.
Krull
It could have been so much better, but The Black Cauldron with the oracular pig is a favorite.
Edit to add: and The Goonies!
Never ending story. I think that was 80s?
Flash Gordon
There can be only one!
Legend
