Legend
Originally released: 1985
An all-round mess, but not without moments of uncanny magic and horror. There are two versions with completely different scores - seek out Jerry Goldsmith's weird and wonderful orchestrations rather than the horridly 80s synthesisers of Tangerine Dream. Tom Cruise and Mia Sara are little more than extremely pretty, everyone else very ugly indeed in this particularly unpleasant fantasy world; Tim Curry has his scary moments as their red-horned nemesis. The unicorns look just like the one Deckard dreams about in Blade Runner: The Director's Cut, but you should really be watching that instead.
