You're gonna laugh, but I have a lot of love for Legend with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. How Tim Curry managed to chew the set that hard with horns that size is beyond my acting skill to comprehend. And the fact that Tom Cruise ran around saving unicorns from Satan with a motley crew of fairy sidekicks is a sentence gay enough to make me puke rainbows. I'm already gay, man, I puke rainbows all month during June.
Seriously, it's a good and awful movie. It has no plot, it's just aesthetic art. But if you want a really good fantasy movie about unicorns... The Last Unicorn. Full stop. It has made me cry since I was a child. Not a B Movie, just a cult classic.
But if you REALLY want a B movie? Time Bandits. How the hell Kenny Baker went from R2-D2 to one of the gremlin thieves on strike because God wouldn't let them have a turn on the time machine... I can't. And kidnapping The Generic English Schoolboy as their sidekick was just... interesting. At least Sean Connery did a great job as Agamemnon.
Legend and Time Bandits are two of my favorite movies and I have multiple copies of each as they are some of the movies I rebuy each time there's a format change or a special edition! I have never actually seen The Last Unicorn so I'll have to check it out.
