True identity of Bowie is the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, do image search but be careful his son comes up also. His character was killed, not himself.

Big Trouble in Little China has always been a favirite of mine, I never qyestioned anything about it until i tried to show it to a friend..."Whys he trying to act like John Wayne?" "Whats this have to do with Kurt Russell?" "How does everyone know Karate?" Said friend went on to catch a throat punch😅

[@mattcorley9811]

appropriate response.

[@tomchambers4537]

Bro this is a criminally underrated video. Retro Dark Fantasy blowing up on Tiktok rn, this might blow up. Its why I'm here

[@zambachoo]

I’ve wondered about this in passing. I always enjoyed the dark crystal, willow, never ending story and labyrinth growing up, but I never understood that side of it. I always figured it was lsd once I grew up. Kid of reminds me of the monsters those bands conjure up.

[@zambachoo]

Others don’t, but I think that’s why I enjoyed Sucker Punch.

[@andrewpinheiro7202]

The never ending story is one of my favorite childhood movies. Probably because my dad used to always play it for me lots of good memories.

[@petehill7280]

6:26 The Narnia TV miniseries is pretty weird as far as TV miniseries go, because it's technically lost media. The mastertape was accidently destroyed some years ago, meaning that the DVD copies are the only copies which still exist.

[@chancejones5958]

Omg I’m sure my family has those dvds! A trip and a half, but we geeked out over Warrick Davis lol

[@MarshalMarrs-eu9yh]

My sister liked watching that miniseries but I didn’t like it possibly because the white witch was shown screaming throughout and her underlings looked like they are more at home in the fallout video games than a fantasy series for kids.

[@petehill7280]

3:27 I would also note that the original novel by William Goldman has a similar framing device-- Goldman himself claiming to be abridging the work of the author S. Morgenstern, a Florinese author whose novel was a work of satire, Goldman's aim being to recreate the version of the story told to him as a child by his father. It's a really clever piece of metafiction which deepens your immersion in the story even more than the film does-- the film, I would note, was actually written by Goldman himself, a rare case of an author adapting their own work for the screen.

[@50percentGrey]

The Neverending Story, or the original text source the film was based on, was meant to be a cautionary tale about children, or people in general, losing faith as they grow up and endure the troubles of the real world. No matter how much you try to sugar-coat that journey your life becomes, it will always end in disappointment or loss. That's the real story that never ends.

[@iminumst7827]

Dark Fantasy is awesome, my major gripe is the lack of antagonist creativity. If you excluded movies about defeating a one-dimensionally evil sorcerer who wants to bring darkness to the world, then this video would be like 30 minutes.

[@2salzig2spucknapp]

the algorithm has blessed me - what an incredible find thank you very much

[@spaghettios]

No, thank you for watching.

[@maniacaldude]

I can name one that's missing: The Fantastic Adventures Of Unico, which was the prequel to Unico In The Island Of Magic. I'm sure there might be a few others missing, but overall this seems like a pretty comprehensive list.

[@RealNameDre]

The amount of work that goes into these videos must not be easy, because they are great. We appreciate the time and effort that you put into these, as someone who has done some editing of videos before, I know that it is a long process and not something that is easy to do. Great job on this retrospective, it's definitely a great one. I and everyone that is subscribed to your channel, appreciate all the hard work that goes into making these videos. 💯👏👍😀

[@petehill7280]

11:45 Dune is Science-Fantasy, and that because Frank Herbert meant it as a more realistic take on earlier space operas such as Lensman and John Carter of Mars, which often did have light fantastical elements in them alongside the more technical details.

[@MoivinSulunker]

2 min in: I like the way you "boil things down" into a few well-picked words, but based on impressions more than analytical structure of sentences. That is unusual for me, usually a stickler for analysis.

[@spaghettios]

I'm glad you've enjoyed, sorry I didn't really go into depth on most of them

[@MoivinSulunker]

@@spaghettios That's what I like about this particular videograph. I wanted summaries of many not depth. I would prefer it without the obscene speech, which is unrelatable to regular folks.

W Video imma watch most of these movies in December for aesthetic reasons

[@K.C.J]

I think you should do a video called “Every Aesthetic explained” because (like music genres) there are a TONE of aesthetics out there, And I also think it will go well with you’re channel

Wasn’t so sure about you to be honest but you really liked the original Dune and Blade Runner so I thought this kid must be okay. Idea: 80s horror movies

[@spaghettios]

I like that idea👀

[@hamtsammich]

my favorite movie is "Harvey". it's fuckin' ooooold.

[@spaghettios]

I’ll have to check it out👀

[@hamtsammich]

@@spaghettios from the wiki: The story centers on a man whose best friend is a puca named Harvey, a 6 ft 3+1⁄2 in tall white invisible rabbit. His sister wants him committed, but everybody kinda want to be friends with the six foot tall invisible rabbit who has some degree of magic powers. There's an underlying question of who's really the crazy one here? Is it these people who are kinda unhappy with circumstances? Or is it the man having a good time with his NBA sized invisible rabbit friend? and if you feel like doing another comedy from the same era, I'll strongly recommend "arsenic and old lace". It's less philosophical. More there are old ladies luring men to their house and killing them with arsenic.
