10 Forgotten but Not Forgiven Fantasy Films of the 1980s

"There's still so much we hate to love about these films. Among examples leaving the era with their legacies intact, like The Dark Crystal, Boorman's Excalibur and The Barbarian Schwarzenegger was born to play in Conan, there's a rogues' gallery of stylistic failures and xerox copies of better movies. Many of these films have been (perhaps rightly) forgotten – but are they forgiven? Hollywood has been busy, of late, failing to rebottle the lightning of the decade's classics. Stranger Things, meanwhile, has been projectile vomiting 80s culture at the small screen. Despite these efforts, the Fantasy films of the past haven't received very much attention (or affection, for that matter). Greed might have been good in the 80s, but you can have too much of a good thing."
