I'll be doing a Donner retrospective on my podcast on Tue.
If some may be so kind... Gimme your takes on his films, if they even have any greater meaning to you beyond most other films you've seen that is.
We've talked about SUPERMAN to death in this community so let's start out with the most "cult" of Donner's films, the 1985 fantasy adventure...
.
This has ALWAYS been a fave of mine pretty much from the first moment I saw it on VHS in the 1980's. Thing is, outside of those I know who have seen it and LOVE it... I don't hear much about it and it is such a gem of a movie, the kind of mid-budget fantasy adventure films we don't see often if at all in the modern era of movies.
Anyone have any opinions they'd like to share on Ladyhawke, its story, its fabulous cast and fun and touching screenplay? Thoughts on the score (Yes... It's full of synths... IT WAS THE ****ING 80's PEOPLE! )?
I would really like to know what the community thinks of this movie in some depth.

For me, two words describe Ladyhawke.
Underrated Classic.
