Charmed thinks Ladyhawke is an awesome movie
I'm up to the second episode of season thre of Charmed and I'm laughing my head off-but not in the good way-at this episode.
Here's the basic plot Ladyhawke, a medieval fantasy romance from the 80s: A corrupt bishop who practices black magic desires a beautiful lady. She refuses his advances, and when he learns that she's the lover of a renown knight, he curses them so that he's a man by day and she's a falcon, and by night, she's a woman and he a wolf. (Then one day a young thief escapes the bishop's supposedly inescapable prison and the knight sets off to find him so the thief can get him back in so he can kill the villain and break the curse)
Here's this episode of Charmed: A warlock desired one of his female employees, but she rejected him because A) creepy, and B) she was in love with a coworker. So the warlock cursed them so that he's an owl by day and she a human, and he's human by night and she a wolf.
I kid you not.
Also, one of the more powerful scenes in Ladyhawke is a scene at daybreak, where they're both in human form for a few seconds, but not long enough to touch, and it focuses on the eyes a lot. Exact. Same. Scene. in Charmed(only indoors) Also? Ladyhawke, Navarre(the knight) uses a crossbow when he saves the thief(and at other times) and the villain's minions use them too, and it's the preferred weapon of the bad guy's minions in Charmed.
OMG!!! The bird-cursed lover also gets shot with a crossbow in both...
AND AN ECLIPSE!!!! THEY'RE USING AN ECLIPSE TOO!!! And I swear what Phoebe is chanting right now is EXACTLY the wording Navarre used when saying what it would take to break the curse on them.
I HIGHLY doubt this is the kind of crack the Charmed TPTB intended when they made this episode...

And...ooo...another who isn't big on Dragonslayer(most love it)
My faves are Ladyhawke, Willow, Legend, Labyrinth and Princess Bride.

Did'ja see Time Bandits, by the Monty Python crew? The Mr. and I still have a line or two we quote from that when the occasion arises.
We used to make horrible fun of Dragonslayer ... wicked things that we were, we'd answer her poignant little line "And ... I'm still a virgin!" with "We can fix that!" A huge crowd of us went to see it at a drive-in once, in full SCA costume, just so we could yell things at the screen.
I love Labyrinth and Princess Bride. Inigo Montoya is the coolest swordsman ever (though my friend TK holds out for Wesley).

Picked up the novelisation not all that long ago (mainly because Joan Vinge wrote it) but haven't got around to reading it yet. (I think it was anyway... can't find the book to double check but vaguely remember that was the case).
