“Here’s a movie that was so good that they tried for years to make a sequel to it that would work and none ever did. The TV series came as close as they could get. It wasn’t bad, but they didn’t really have a direction for the second movie and it had promise, then the next movie made the mistake of saying pretend the second movie didn’t happen, then the fourth. Well the fourth movie says... read more

A good movie

This franchise must have the most messed up legacy ever. Obviously, the notorious 2nd installment has always been hailed as the worst sequel ever made but, at the end of the day, none of the other sequel was really much better, to be honest (yes, I have seen all of them and that’s what you can call indeed a massive waste of time…). It is rather sad because this first movie was actually pretty ... read more

Description: 'Highlander' released to the theaters in '86 was an instant cult classic. And why wouldn't it be, clashing swords, severed heads, a secret society of Immortals living secretly amongst us battling to the death through the centuries in hopes of being the last Immortal standing. It doesn't get any better than that. As the sacred prophecy predicted, "In the end there can be only one". Add to the mix a killer soundtrack written and performed by Queen and you've got yourself a franchise. Christopher Lambert plays Connor MacLeod, the Highlander in the role that made him famous and unfortunately typecast him for all time. ... (more)

"Why?: Conner MacLeod, is one of the best fighters of his realm, and it would be awesome to see him, compete against Raiden! Also, I would pick The Kurgen!"

"This is one of those 80s classics that I've never seen in its entirety, and have been meaning to watch it but was never able to pull the trigger on the Blu-ray. I spotted the Anchor Bay DVD at the GW and figured it was time to add it to the collection."

"February 7th Directed by: Russell Mulcahy Occasionally I find a movie that I feel like I missed out on watching as a kid, I feel like I should have nostalgia for taking the VHS tape of this from it's spot on the shelf right next to Ninja Turtles and watching it. It's not a regretful feeling but one of wonder. I had the wrong idea about this movie entirely, I thought it was all boring training montages set in the Scottish highlands, but that's like, ten minutes of the movie. Anything you could "
