Have to disagree with you, Gorwingel, and say I love The Princess Bride. It probably hits my all time favorite fantasy movie spot. How can you resist a tale of "True Wuv"?I thought the BBC Narnia movies were okay, The Silver Chair being the best of them.Also, someone who owns a life-sized cardboard standup of Han Solo couldn't leave out The Empire Strikes Back, the best of the SW films.The 10th Kingdom was okay, Ghormenghast left me very confused, and Labyrinth has not grown on me. In the animated realm, I'm really quite fond of the Pagemaster. Cute and not serious, but still kinda fun. And finally a rousing cheer for SaucepanMan's nomination of Monty Python and the Holy Grail! (although, as a sidenote, my favorite Python skit is the one where the German philosophers play the Greeks in soccer )Sophia
