Just loved The Last Starfighter. Some of those others were fun too. Also really enjoyed Krull and The Neverending Story from that era. I have done a few podcasts highlighting old movies and TV shows that I have enjoyed. Check those out if you haven't already.

I liked the Last Starfighter and Krull, can't stand the neverending story (sorry Rico). Its something about kids in movies that I dislike.

These weren't movies but does anyone remember Tales of the Gold Monkey (Originally Brass Monkey) and Bring Em Back Alive?
