Fantasy & Adventure

Willow (1988)

I miss the days of 1980s fantasy and adventure movies. This is when they relied heavily on hand crafted models and photo trickery to achieve their special effects.

Labyrinth (1986)


The Dark Crystal (1982)



The Never Ending Story (1984)








Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom (1984)
