Yeah, I liked that one.  Always felt it was underrated.

One of my favorites of all-time...who didn't want to be Madmartigan, eh?  This movie was like...watching my fantasies come to life; to me this was a way better movie than say, Legend...which could've been good, if it weren't so dumb.  lol

Ladyhawke's another good one, imho.

Me too!  I would love to see that one remade with a little more "historical" grit and a lot less Alan Parson Project soundtrack!

Agreed...although the soundtrack fit in with the fantasy of the 80s, if it were updated to be more period it would do wonders for the ambience I think.  Overall I enjoyed the movie...but the music would kill the mood at times.  I'd also like to see a more period-accurate swordfight with accurate swords instead of two actors hammering away with slick-looking pieces of rebar.  lol

I think all of those actors get a little loony as they get on in years...whether it is because the sheer number of roles they've taken on have taken up residence in their psyches, or the constant barrage by fans and papparazzi make them introverts...I could see that being an issue.  I like not being known...I'd be crushed if I were ever famous.

The love for this movie was passed down from my father.

Madmartigan was the one to be minus the dust of broken heart.
