10 Most Awesome 80s Fantasy Movies



2. Clash Of The Titans (1981)

It’s the most epic of the 1980s fantasy movies and still the best. The first Clash of the Titans highlights winged pegasuses, witches, creatures from the ocean and a mechanical owl. The film stars acclaimed British actor Sir Laurence Olivier (who was awarded an Oscar for playing Hamlet) as the God Zeus, and a young pre-L.A. Law Harry Hamlin as the principle character Perseus. The motion picture is about how Perseus unwittingly annoys the ocean goddess Thetis after he falls in love with Princess Andromeda, who used to be engaged to Thetis’ son. Perseus must embrace one quest after another in the film, with Zeus helping him en route. The first motion picture is far better than the 2010 remake featuring on-screen character Sam Worthington. The first Clash of the Titans is described as “An Epic Entertainment Spectacular.” What’s more, it truly is.

 

1. Krull (1983)

Krull is a film that must be seen to be accepted. Think “Knights versus Aliens.” It’s about a prince and a partnership of companions who set out to save the prince’s lady from a fortress of alien trespassers who have touched base on their home planet. Krull has it all to say the least; it has horses, swords, aliens, lasers, a one-eyed cyclop and a peculiar weapon that resembles a hybrid of a starfish and a Ninja throwing star. This film is an immaculate 1980s fantasy and was an average hit when released in the late spring of 1983. Crowds got the chance to see it in a twofold bill at the drive-in alongside Superman 3. Featuring a cast of unknown faces except for Liam Neeson in a supporting role, Krull has its very own existence among 1980s fans and fantasy fans. It’s really an epic bit of pop culture.
