Can's Favorite Movies
The Flight of Dragons
G
The Flight of Dragons is not just a film for me, it is a major part of my childhood. I absolutely adore this animation, from the plot (which isn't half-bad for a children's animation), the characters, the atmosphere, the music, and perhaps most of all, the feeling of being immersed in a fully-formed fantasy world (no doubt helped by being based on a book: the explanation of dragon flight is particularly inventive). Its tough to choose between this and Conan as my all-time favourite film, but if I was forced to decide, I think I'd have to pick this.
Conan the Barbarian
R
Magnificently camp epic smattered with some of the most hilariously macho lines ever, delivered by a man born to play Conan. Beautiful cinematography, sparse dialogue and stunning set design, all brought together though an amazing score by Basil Poledouris. Instead of all that difficult 'talking' business, Arnie was largely left to do what he does best: pose, grunt and hit things.
