I’ve said it before and I will say it again:  I love Legend.  Like, I have Loved by the Sun on my phone.  

This list is a fail without LadyHawke.  Nice try.

Assuming they all came out in the eighties I think I would have gone with Ladyhawke, Dragonslayer, Excalibur, or Time Bandits, over a couple you have on the list.

If you’re looking for a super deep cut, you can watch one of Christian Bale’s first ever films, which is a fantasy from 1987. (And Christopher Lee!) I loved it when I was little.

THESIS: Disney being run by clueless old dorks in the ‘70s and ‘80s created an opening for all sorts of weird, wild fantasy movies from many different sources, and explains why Gen-Xers’ childhoods were so goddamned strange and unsettling and magical.

On the one hand, that would be magical, and I’d be first in line to see it. On the other... Christopher Lee couldn’t play King Haggard. I’ll never be able to accept anyone else in the role, after reading Peter Beagle’s obituary for him...

Go sit in the corner! Only kidding! I get where your coming from... and I love The Dark Crystal!

They could do a sequel to the labyrinth where Jennifer Connelly’s Sarah is now a struggling mother. At the point of losing everything, she retreats to the Goblin lands and becomes queen. Her daughter now has to rescue her mother from the Goblin castle, once more entering the labyrinth to get there.

The scene where Molly chastises the Unicorn for finally showing up after Molly isn’t young anymore guts me every time. As I have grown from a young girl-child to someone probably older than Molly’s age in the film, that scene has only become more poignant to me.

It would probably be the closest we’d get to the “fairy tale” aesthetic of his Hobbit movies, before the studio decided they wanted LotR: Episode I.

I know it’s a minority opinion, but rewatching The Dark Crystal as an adult was a very cringe worthy affair with way too many cast members using voices that sound worse than nails on a chalkboard.

The Glaive is one of fantasy’s coolest weapons.

Counterpoint, Del Toro (nor Disney for that matter) needs not remake anything that was previously made with 2D animation or practical puppet effects. They are already perfect.

OMG... TAKE MY MONEY NOW, GUILLERMO DEL TORO!

I grew up, checking these movies out from the front of the grocery story, over and over again. This list is like comfort food.

What, no Last Unicorn love?

she served as a role model for young Girls, and Women around the world

Lauding her drive and willingness to do amazing things is great, and I’m sure as hell sad about this, but calling people gutless and sheep because they choose not to take unnecessary risks for an adrenaline thrill is some really pathetic projecting.

Huge loss... what a badass woman. Rest in peace, Jessi.

I never realized until now just how much of a bad ass she is. Rest In Peace Jessie.
