'Legend' is literally one of the all time best fantasy films ever made. This movie is magical, plain and simple. It also feels like this was the perfect template for so many other great fantasy epics that came afterwards. For example, I think perhaps there wouldn't have been a 'Willow' or even a 'Labyrinth' without 'Legend'. This movie set the bar high, and set the stage for some of my personal favorite movies growing up (most of which are fantasy epics). I know 'Star Wars' gets the bulk of the credit for launching these fantasy epic type movies. But, this seems more of a direct link to others dating back to the 80's, like 'Willow' and 'Labyrinth', and even as recent as 'Mirrormask'.

Final thought: The actors were all phenomenal; especially Tom Cruise (who I typically don't love), Mia Sara (who plays both the innocent and dark versions of Lili so well), and obviously Tim Curry (I mean, c'mon his Darkness is so badass). These characters are all so brilliant!

An entirely new and interesting premise for a story. The actors are unique and wonderful, and I felt seamlessly part of the unfolding narrative as an audience member.

I'm watching this creators career unfold with such excitement. This is the third film of hers I've seen, and they're all phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and watch everything she makes....I know I will.

This series is a fascinating and hauntingly beautiful look at a cult from the perspective of the members. Waiting (semi) patiently for the remaining episodes to be released

Scream meets Groundhog Day. I highly recommend this if you enjoy a little humor with your horror.
