NEW Things To Watch Out For:
1. New "Pros Pick" Section
2. 3 day limit on poll.
Encore: Refers to a movies replay value.
Pulitzer: Refers to the quality of the movie's story.
Alpha: Refers to the macho-ness and toughness of the movie and the actors in it.
Thank The Academy: Refers to the quality of the acting in the movie.
Highlander: Refers to the movie's ability and probability to live on forever.
If you'd like to become a "Pro" on Pros Pick, just add me as a friend and you'll be included in the series.
Highlander (1986)
Synopsis: Born in the Highlands of Scotland in 1518, Connor Macleod is immortal. When he is wounded in battle but does not die, he is banished from his village. He meets another like himself, Ramirez, who teaches him swordsmanship--the only way to kill another immortal is to take his head--and the ways of the immortals. Modern-day New York is the location of "The Gathering," where Connor and the few remaining immortals must battle to the last for "The Prize."
Conan The Barbarian (1982)
Synopsis: A barbarian trained in the arts of war joins with thieves in a quest to solve the riddle of steel and find the sorcerer responsible for the genocide of his people in this faithful adaptation of Robert E. Howard's sword and sorcery adventures. This film briefly sparked a wave of fantasy films including the sequel, Conan the Destroyer, in the early 80s.
Conan is a decent watch, and this coming from an Arnold fanatic. But it's nowhere near his best movie, not even close. It's not Arnold in his prime, it's Arnold before he probably knew how to say the word prime.
Highlander via more technical swordmanship.
Things to remember:
- My Movie Battles are pitting up 2 movies that have the same feel, appeal to a similar audience, or share similar content. They won't always be completely alike in all areas.
-Polls close in 3 days.
- Choosing one doesn't mean the other sucks, so you better freakin choose!
