(Pre)Ask Me a Question: Conan the Barbarian Double Feature

You like fantasy movies? You know the kind filled with swords and sorcery, wizards and wonder, creatures and curses? Of course you do. Before there was Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings or the Harry Potter series, flicks like Legend, Labyrinth, Conan and Dragonslayer lit up the imaginations of 80's kids around the world. Equal parts fairy tale and nightmare, these movies are exciting, otherworldly and visually stunning adventures. After their hugely successful Space Invaders: Sci-Fi in the Arcade Age programming that included Alien, Blade Runner, Tron and The Last Starfighter, The American Cinematheque is back with another crowd pleasing line up; Dungeons, Dragons and Demons: '80's Fantasy Favorites. Yours truly is hosting a Conan the Barbarian and Destroyer double feature in a co-presentation with The Cinematheque and premiere Arnold Schwarzenegger fansite, The Arnold Fans!
