[Asmiley]

what weer thier names again?

 

[Sorceress Willow]

Grrrr! You know perfectly well thier names are Rool and Franjean, Asmiley. and don't you go around all coy on me!

 

[Asmiley]

yeah I know I'm just trying to keep the converse going.

So did you think Val was cute in this movie? I didn't.

 

[Sorceress Willow]

He had his moments.

 

[tokyogirl]

you know, i liked this movie, but i think it's just one of those that's only good once in a while you know?

 

[HeyLynny]

I liked this movie ever since I first say it. It wasn't until about a year or so ago that I found out that the movie is well liked among scifi fans. I thought Val Kilmer was very funny in this movie! I got a kick out of it! I haven't seen it in a while. I'll have to change that!

 

[tokyogirl]

man, if only i didn't have all those late fees at blockbuster....

 

[Sorceress Willow]

Yeah everyone should seee it at least once a day.

 

[tokyogirl]

well, i don't know if i could watch it that often.....

 

[Sorceress Willow]

[Asmiley]

[Asmiley]

Oh please! If you were nuts enough it would make sense to you too. trust me everything I say makes sense!

But You really shouldn't divert the topic so much. waht's your fave scene in Willow?

 

[13jay]

When the acorn becomes a bird.

I've always loved this movie! It's one of those movies that you can't just watch once. :rolly2:

 

[Asmiley]

I know! SWill watches it all the time! I mean it's always been a classic in my book but I swear she watches it more than I watch LOTR.

 

[imported_Data]

LOL! Well, it is a good movie! :rolly2:

 

[Sorceress Willow]

My point exactly. Why not watch a good movie more than once. If it's good you want to get as much of it as possible. right? I mean that's why asmiley's seen LOTR like 20 times already. Not that it's not a good movie either. I mean you gotta love how they use the same technique from Willow with the fighting wizards. flying through the air, spinning around. it's an acrobatic and ballerina's nighmare. How can you not just love a fight like that? Okay so I'm a bit obsessed with Willow but at least I know it's a great movie. I mean you just gotta love Willow.

Willow

Maybe this was already poisted by somone else,but I don't see it.


A dwarfish "Nelwyn" named Willow finds a baby adrift in a river and must protect it from an evil queen (Jean Marsh) bent on its destruction. Along with studly Madmartigan (Val Kilmer), Willow battles dragons and vanquishes evildoers, all the while shielding the infant from harm. Taken for what it is, the movie's a tribute of sorts to another film starring a diminutive hero, Lord of the Rings.


Yes, it is pretty predictable, but I like it.

Re: Willow

There's a whole lot to like about this movie, hitting a nice balance between adventure and not taking itself too seriously.

but why isn't Willow credited The actor was Warick Davis, who's credits include:

The 80's Ewok movies, Leprechaun (with Jennifer Aniston, ok so noones career highlight) and its sequels, including the forth episode Leprechaun in Space , Marvin in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (Alan Rickman did the voice) and Professor Filius Flitwick from the Harry Potter movies.
