10/10
The only one

I've seen this movie when I was 8 years old, and granted, the trolls did give me a few nightmares. But till this day hearing the soundtrack makes me emotional and makes me longing for those days, when i still believed in dragons, trolls, evil Queens, Daikini, Nelwyns, .... That magic is gone, but if I see this movie again I forget I am 40 years old and I am right back in the big cinema when I was 8. Sorsha is getting prettier each year that passes and I am proud to say she was my first crush!

I think everyone has 1 movie, that pulls all strings in just that matter that is perfect for you. For me it is Willow. I am just glad that when I had to pick a movie in 1988 (I still know I was at summer camp and I could pick 1 movie out of 5, and I was one of the few that choose Willow) When I left the cinema, I didn't know what just happened but in the years after I actually forgot the movie. Then i've heard the soundtrack from some movie in which James Horner reused the trumpets. Vaguely remembering somthing about a dragon with many heads, trolls, and little people. Google came to my rescue and as soon as I saw the name, I knew I had found it again. As soon as the opening credits began, I was right back in that Cinema.

Fantasy has only 1 name in my book, and that is Willow !
