Artax made Us cry, The damn Grimmock scared the Hell out of Us, and Falcor made Us believe. The Neverending Story was one of the definitive 80's Fantasy movies.

Man, I remember these films back in the 80s that transported us to new worlds. "The Princess Bride", "The Neverending Story", "Willow", "Labyrinth" and "Legend" starring Tom Cruise.

As an adult who's experienced it, and been devastated by it, only now do I recognize that this movie was always about GRIEF. The pain & loss that Bastion feels since his mother died (the dream), the feeling of helplessness when dealing with it alone (Bastion's Father), the anger at the apathy of those around him (Morla), the fear that constantly threatens to swallow him (the Gmork), leaving an all-consuming 'Nothing' behind. The Neverending Story always changes according to who's reading it, and for Bastion, it turned itself into something therapeutic to help him cope with his grief. I'm glad you guys got to watch it.

Anyone who saw the series "Stranger Things" when Suzie made Dusty sing the song and it was the song from this movie all cheered so hard and remembered how great this movie was too.

The Artax scene wrecked us as an entire generation.  Even now at 45 years old I still tear up when he says to him "Try for me, you're my friend" as he's sinking.  Ugh, gets me every time!

Probably the most underrated, and greatest movie ever made. Those who don't agree just couldn't comprehend it.

People always miss what the old lady says, "It has to hurt if it's to heal." The book goes more in depth, but the book is about dealing with grief and learning to rebuild your world again.

I'm so impressed with this movie.  It's one of the few kids' movies that actually gets more interesting the older I get.  It's almost a spiritual classic.

James and the Giant Peach is one of the best loved adaptations of a Roald Dahl story and a prime example of stop motion animation. It is neither obscure nor niche.

RIP, Wolfgang Petersen, 1941-2022, for bringing us this fantastic adventure film.

This movie was really a pivotal one for those of us who grew up watching it. Artax, Lord have mercy. I'm 44 years old and I still bawl like a baby at that scene. Other 80s fantasy movie suggestions, "Legend" with Tom Cruise and "Willow" with Val Kilmer. I would say "Labyrinth" but it's a musical and I know it's difficult with copyright claims. Also, there is a great movie. It's an action movie set in late 70s New York. It's called "The Warriors". I don't think you guys reacted to it yet. Definitely worth a watch. 🤷🏻‍♀😎👍

For us 80's children seeing the Artax scene was totally devastating and we will always remember the emotion we felt watching this at the cinema...the music and the whole story will always bring tears to my tired eyes.
