1985 fantasy film directed by Ridley Scott, starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, and a surprise appearance from Kiran Shah (legendary scale double from LOTR ). I think the visuals in this film are outstanding, particularly the forests, be they pleasant,scary,or frozen. As far as fantasy movies go, this tends to get lumped in with Labyrinth, Willow, The Dark Crystal, etc., but I find this film better than all of them. I love the design of the devil (Darkness), and how he wishes to bring eternal darkness to the world by killing the two remaining unicorns. The Gump (elves) are my favorite part of the film, as they inject some much required humor to the proceedings as much of the movie is fairly dark in tone. Really nice soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith, and I was interested to learn from IMDB that some versions of the film were released with a Tangerine Dream score.....weird. I'd love to hear/see this version of the film if anyone knows where to find it. As far as the Ridley Scott resume goes, I rarely think of this one, as most folks (myself included ) tend to focus on Blade Runner and Alien, but I think he turned in a lovely film in the genre of fantasy too....I hadn't watched this film in 15 years and it was a treat to re-visit.
