yes
fippy bippy
I always had the thought of getting another monitor, placing it in some visible spot and having it display Conan the Barbarian 24/7/forever.
It actually started with a CRT and a VHS player. That thought still lingers in my mind.
I know what I have to do.
The best film of all time? No. The best sword and magic film of all time? Yes, easily.
Not even in the top 250.
I bet you couldn't even name 250 sword and magic films without looking them up.
can you?
No, nor am I claiming there's 250 that are better.
>The best sword and magic film of all time?
Not at lot of concurrency in this regard. Or maybe I just don't know that much sword and sorcery. What are some other great movies from the genre?
Now that I think about it, anyone remember a fantasy movie about a band of heroes going against sorcerer in a teleporting castle? I recall liking that movie as a kid.
> What are some other great movies from the genre?
Beastmaster
Deathstalker 2
Fire and ice
Deodato's The Barbarians isn't bad.
>Now that I think about it, anyone remember a fantasy movie about a band of heroes going against sorcerer in a teleporting castle? I recall liking that movie as a kid.
Krull. Very comfy.
Oh yeah, that's it. Thanks.
>The best film of all time? No. The best sword and magic film of all time? Yes, easily.
Would agree to this. I'd put it in Top 100 maybe even top 50 of all time.
Name 50 better movies so I can tell you that you're wrong.
Negative, anon
its definitely a contender
Speaking of Robert E. Howard kino, how are Kull and Solomon Kane movies? Anyone watched them?
No.
Never finished Kull but Solomon Kane is decent enough.
Yes
No, and much as I like it, it also appeals to the worst people in the world, which are Costin Alamariu type bisexual crypto zionists.
Schizo
Isn't that supposed to based though? Or is it only based if it involves homolust?
costin alamariu is a israeli pederast
Nice, I've picked up Solomon Kane stories recently and I really enjoy them. I'll check out the movie someday.
Solomon Kane has some bad CGI but a great aesthetic and a good cast. If you like the genre you should watch it
kull is bit corny but its definately comfy kino
kevin sorbo is top notch in that movie
Solomon Kane was a missed opportunity for what could've been high kino, but I'm still thankful for that one movie. Kull is like a sillier Conan, but worth a watch at least once.
methinks they should make an animated series or movie
sadly the west is very limited when it comes to animation that isn't strictly for kids
>sadly the west is very limited when it comes to animation that isn't strictly for kids
Nah, there's been some development there recently.
10/10 film and 10/10 soundtrack. Praise Crom.
Fricking Crom accounting for my weaknesses.
How does Crom know every gd time?!?
No.
Great film, but does it count? More than half of it takes place in the modern age.
>muh cold war thus russia bad
>the ultimate power is...LE MIND READING!
pure cringe
>muh cold war thus russia bad
What?
Oh, it's because Kurgan is from Russia? I don't think it was intentional. He's from like Bronze/Iron Age Russia.
No but it does have the best soundtrack of all time
Listen to Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky music. You'll notice something.
Similar style of orchestration? Conan's still the best movie soundtrack
>Conan's still the best movie soundtrack
It's up there but
>Wojciech Kilar - Bram Stoker's Dracula
>John Williams - Revenge of the Sith
Its the best pleb
Transformers the movie has the best ost. Conan is probably 2nd or 3rd
I think Conan's the best because the soundtrack was specifically designed along with the screenplay to match the beats of the story. It's closer to a wagner opera than most movies.
It's not even the best Arnold film. Far from it.
Name 5 better
Total Recall
True Lies
Terminator
Red Heat
Running Man
It's the best for what it's trying to go for. The soundtrack is 10/10 though.
The small sword looks ridicolous
Guts looks much more badass
You could lop off a limb with a 7 inch blade, not even being ironic.
The sword is more than enough in length. Guts's sword is more stylized but wouldn't be as practical irl.
If you're a 14 year old boy I could see you thinking it is.
Yeah, Ghostbusters (2016), now that's real cinema
No one even talks about that anymore. Find better strawmen, brainlet.
>Complains about strawmen
>Came in to thread saying only teen boys likes sex and violence.
homosexual....
Should've added NTA but whatever. You suck.
except for one or two flaws.
two unredeemable flaws.
an AI edition may be would make it watchable.
Imagine the stories Robert E. Howard would have wrote during WWII and after. Why'd you have to go and have a nice day over your mommy issues?
I wish he knew just how well regarded he would become. H.P. too. So many great artists die, yet others with no talent get blank checks
No. A Knight's Tale is
Is Conan Arnolds best kino?
yes
No, that would be total recall and it's not even close
Predator is his best Acton film. His best comedic performance was probably in The Expendables 2.
Conan is a cool movie but it's also boring as frick when no one is getting their asses chopped up. If they remade it today it would probably be incredible, tons of CGI vistas and odd shit, like DUNC is.
Yes. Only Commando comes close.
Conan is the best movie Arnold was in despite Arnold himself having better performances in later movies.
T1 and T2 (stfu they are both amazing), Predator, and Conan the Barbarian are all the best Arnie films.
But that doesn't take anything away from movies like Total Recall, Running Man, True Lies, and many many others from being classics.
Akira
>Why do you cry?
Subotai
>He is Conan, Cimmerian. He will not cry, so I cry for him.
Based Subotai
I was really upset when he wasn't in conan 2
Not even better than Beastmaster
Conan didn't kill 23 innocent ferrets
Nice.
>Is Conan the best film of all time?
no way dude LOTR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lwJOxN_gXc
Would have been cool if I didn't know the Witch king gets killed with the power of feminism
He doesn't, it's just not explained in the movie
top 10 of all time, sure.
what the frick is the riddle of steel? why does the sword break and it's not even a pivotal moment?
Idiots will say "willpower" is the answer and that it's stronger than steel or flesh, but they conveniently forget that Thulsa Doom states that willpower is an aspect of Flesh. The truth is that the answer is Steel. Thulsa trusted in his powers & Conan trusted in his sword, that's why his sword breaks Thulsa's
yeh but you remember Conan's father told him that and forged that steel sword, which shattered when Conan wielded the Atlantean sword against it.
Conan trusted the steel in his hand. Thulsa didn't. It's not about who made what, if they had switched weapons the outcome would have been the same
Oh to add,
NO ONE FRICKING MENTIONS the fricking thematic narrative of the father's sword either. The Father's Sword will not harm his son. It will not protect the man who killed him. The Father's Sword in fact cleaves to the son so that he may have vengeance. It's fricking Shakespearean, & everyone just wants to fricking jerk of the amazing soundtrack & debate the riddle. No one ever wants to talk about the fricking sword of the father & it's role in helping Conan
Yup. Plus it had a cool soundtrack.
that's a good point, both of you guys
>what the frick is the riddle of steel?
It's just steelmaking, which would be tied to all sorts of superstitions in a primitive world, given that not all cultures know how to do it.
>our craftsmen have this knowledge of how to make the best swords
>our swords are magical
>trust no one, not men, not women, not beasts, but trust your magic sword
Being able to forge a steel blade was a craft, but in the context of Crom and the Riddle, it's also a metaphor for what makes men strong, wise, and good. If a sharp, strong blade has value you can see, then what value does a man have, that Crom would see? If the life you live doesn't forge you into something strong, flexible, and valuable, you're laughed at and cast out of his mountain. Conan's stories are about strength and virtue.
I kinda like Thulsa Doom a lot more than I like Conan tbqh. Magic > Brute Force and snakes are cool as frick
Doesn't help that James Earl Jones is a far better actor than Arnie
>Doesn't help that James Earl Jones is a far better actor than Arnie
Arnie's a bad ass action star, not really an actor. James Earl Jones is trained on the stage if I recall.
>I kinda like Thulsa Doom a lot more than I like Conan tbqh. Magic > Brute Force and snakes are cool as frick
Most of the time villains are the better characters. Yeah James Earl Jones rocked in this top tier.
Doom is the shit , I wish I had more charisma , I would start some awesome snake cults
I AM HYRKANIAN
SUBOTAI, THIEF AND ARCHER
I PRAY TO THE FOUR WINDS
RAAA... THEY'RE ALL bawdS
DINNER FOR WOLVES...?
I AM EVIL!
what happened to the bawd he rescued? did he marry her or what?
there is a deleted scene of king osric getting killed, and ive been told it happens before conan saves her, so presumably she takes over as his heir, assuming he had no son? or someone else did and she just wanders.
but conan doesnt settle down for anyone but valeria
Conan doesn't marry. In the books despite having a few serious partners he doesn't even marry once he becomes King. He just keeps a harem.
Good. Imagine Conan becoming some cuckband.
>Conan
Be more specific, homosexual
the best 6/10 film, sure.
I do love swords.
I love Sue. I don’t care if she’s in her thirties, I’d like to make sure she isn’t alone anymore (that tweet of hers was sad)
I often wonder, if she's an Arsenal fan. Given she lives in a flat in the old Highbury stadium.
I’d watch heat with you, Sue.
Which of the original Robert E Howard conan stories are your favorites? I bought the Coming of, Bloody Crown of, and Conquering Sword of Conan books on an impulse.
yes
I thought the Beastmaster was a better S&S film
kodo and podo were pretty good and saved dar from that fast sand pit and if i remember right they chewed on that man's testicles
When I was in High School I recommended this movie to my friend and he tried to watch it and then told me "lol it was so dumb haha". I stopped being friends with him after that. From what I understand he joined the war in the Middle East and I think he ended up killing himself and I spit on his grave.
True story.
I wanted to rapefrick her sweaty post-workout pussy so bad bros. Life's not fair.
