Nerdgasm movies...

[cleaver404]

So what are the best nerdy movies of our lives?
I'm watching Krull, and I'm hard-pressed for a better AD&D type movie (even though it never references THAC0, I know). Others? Willow?

Oh man, totally... I loved that movie as a kid, and it's one of the few that still kinda holds up (it's cheesy, but it's supposed to be, heh...)

[cleaver404]

Ya, I figure with some effort we could make quite a list, but man, Dragonslayer, I'd totally forgotten about that and Legend I watched again recently & yup, still the coolest thing about it is the super-horned evil guy and his Type-O Negative voice, heh...

Mmmm...super-horned evil guy and type-O voice...

I'll take that and The Kurgan for 1000, please.

[cleaver404]

Hah! I forgot about him, too, ah the memories...

Fun fact!

Krull was actually originally supposed to be an official D&D movie, but the license fell through and they made Krull instead.

Whoa!
Guess my instincts were even more right about it + D&D nerd target audience then, haha... neato...

Flesh+Blood and Hawk the Slayer come to mind.

Oh yes. Oh, and Ladyhawk now you just reminded me of... with its just awful horrible soundtrack (like it wasn't just 80's music, it was bad 80's music).
