Willow (1988)

Re: Willow

Now that's a flash from the past. I saw the movie years ago when such things were still on VHS. In fact that is the only copy of it that I have. And I remember buying the book based on the movie though that has long since gone.

It was a pretty decent movie and well made for the time and for the age that I was when I saw it. There were not too many fantasy movies out there then so this was a pleasure to watch.

Oh wow, this takes me back. I haven't seen Willow in ages, but I remember loving it when I first saw it. As Nesa says, there weren't a lot of fantasy movies around back then, so it was nice to watch. I may have a look for it on dvd, since I don't think any of the tv channels here will be repeating it any time soon.

I loved this film! It was fairly original, and the first fantasy film I saw that didn't take itself seriously

I do like 'The Dark Crystal' 1982

The final battle in 'Willow' was a bit OTT, not really for Children, but then Again, what do I know what Children like these days

The bit where Val Kilmer dresses up as a Woman to fool a womans husband and he starts coming on to her/him was not exactly Young kids material either



nice film though, Ron Howard did do the fine Apollo 13, but then has been going downhill ever since

'The Da Vinci Code' was laughable

Re: Willow

It was, I did laugh on the scenes that I saw of it. There's now going to be a preaqule with Tom Hanks going to be in it.

Re: Willow

Ive always had a soft spot in my heart for this movie. Lots of fun and sword-swinging adventure.

Aha, but I didn't watch Dark Crystal until later
