![]() | The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition)
Buy used from: $44.94 Tolkien brought to life. One of my Top 10 favorite movies ever and the top of this list.
|
![]() | Conan - The Complete Quest
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.40 I am a sucker for Conan and the first movie with Arnie was as true to Robert E Howard as one could hope for something out of Hollywood. It's a fun film and though the second is not as good, it comes with this particular edition and for the price, you're basically getting it for free.
|
![]() | The Princess Bride (20th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $6.16 The Ultimate Fantasy comedy ever! Inconceivable! Watch out for the RUS', they DO exist! To the Pain! OK I'll stop now, but this movie is full of memorable quotes. As you wish.
|
![]() | Braveheart (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $7.95 Duh, it's Braveheart. One of Mel Gibson's finest performances as both director and star. This movie has everything that makes a movie great. Instant classic when it first hit the cinema.
|
![]() | Gladiator - Extended Edition (Three-Disc Extended Edition)
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $7.07 I remember seeing the first promo for this movie during the Super Bowl. I immediately thought that it could be cool, then again all I needed to see was a sword and the word "Gladiator" to think that. I thought it was going to be a mindless hack fest but I couldn't have been farther off. It not only had intense action, but one hell of a script. Epic.
|
![]() | Jason and the Argonauts
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.58 I just love this movie. It was made in 1963 so the dated special effects may be a distraction for some, but the movie is just so much fun that if you give it some time, you'll hardly notice. It really is a great film on Greek Mythology and if anything, watch it with your kids if you have any.
|
![]() | 300 (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $18.49 / Used from: $2.35 One of the most stylish and exciting films I have ever seen. Action packed, gory and full of machismo; a guilty pleasure for many. Scratch that, it is too good to be a 'guilty' pleasure. It is sensational sensationalism.
|
![]() | Excalibur
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $1.40 Forget that dull film 'King Arthur' where they cut out all the Christian folklore and don't go near that sappy soap opera called 'First Knight', this is the only movie you need about the Legend of Camelot. It would have been better if it were spread out over multiple movies like Lord of the Rings, but it works very well as a standalone film. Beautiful, tragic and haunting all at once.
|
![]() | A Knight's Tale (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.25 Tongue in cheek tale of chivalry with the late great Heath Ledger. Brought a smile to my face and I saw it the year after Gladiator was released and enjoyed it about as much.
|
![]() | Troy - The Director's Cut [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $10.25 I wish they didn't strip the mythological elements from this retelling of the Iliad but it's still a great film. Material realism killed the latest King Arthur film with Clive Owen where they cut out the quest for the Holy Grail but Troy survived the makeover.
|
![]() | Rome - The Complete First Two Seasons
Buy used from: $54.99 This is an absolutely astounding HBO TV series based during the time of Caesar. Caesar is only a secondary character though, the entire story is told through the experiences of two commoners and their run ins with historical figures like Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra. Only two seasons long (24 episodes) and a must see.
|
![]() | Alexander, Revisited - The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $5.49 / Used from: $1.80 A lot of people did not care for this film, I thought it was really good. The battle scenes are excellent and Rosario Dawson steams things up. Alexander and his campaign of world conquest may be too big for one film but I think Oliver Stone did some good work here.
|
![]() | Dragonslayer
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.15 Disney has made some great films in the past which appeal to both kids and adults. This film is pretty dark for a Disney flick. The Dragon in this is evil, not some talking pet like what you see in Dragonheart, which I will not be recommending. Dragonslayer is a great film.
|
![]() | Army of Darkness (Screwhead Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $11.67 For those unfamiliar with the Evil Dead franchise, go watch all three. The first two are horror films set in modern times while the third (Army of Darkness) is a comedy and the only one to take place in medieval times. Like the Princess Bride it is full of memorable quotes.
|
![]() | Krull
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.55 Arthurian tale with sci-fi elements. It is a bit cheesy but a lot of fun at the same time. Worth checking out.
|
![]() | Willow (Special Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $5.72 George Lucas' last great creation. OK, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade was his last, but Willow came out a couple years before and was something new and fresh. Sword and sorcery and even a hobbit. Loved it as a kid and love it still today.
|
![]() | The NeverEnding Story
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $2.82 One of the best Fantasy films I saw as a kid. I have not seen it in quite some time but I still remember the sense of adventure it gave me. The book isn't bad either.
|
![]() | The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.00 Excellent adaptation of CS Lewis' Classic.
|
![]() | The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Three-Disc Collector's Edition + Digital Copy)
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $9.77 An even better adaptation of CS Lewis' second installment to his classic series.
|
![]() | The Beastmaster (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $35.00 One of the few truly good Fantasy films to follow Conan: The Barbarian in the '80s. The sequel is pretty bad, but the original is damn good.
|
![]() | The Last Unicorn
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.99 A rather Dark cartoon, but very well done. Worth checking out no matter your age but I'm sure the fact that it is animated may scare some away. Their loss.
