I wish Neverending was here to talk about The Neverending Story. I wonder if he thinks it was a horror film? He did that per decade project, I don't recall if he offered Neverending as a horror film? I don't think so.

Absolutely right... I guess what I find interesting is what defines the genres. And...does age play a role in this? Many fantasy-themed movies, viewed from a child's perspective, are terrifying.
Does that take away from how scary they are? Just because they were made for a certain age range? Just questions I am pondering. |

Just reviewing some of those sinbad films, cause someone said Tom Baker was in one. Which sinbad that you've seen recently have you liked the most?

uhhh i liked the golden voyage alot, some of those creatures/monsters were pretty cool especially the kali statue with the swords, but 7th voyage and eye of the tiger are all pretty good too just about equally, i always just enjoyed seeing what new creations ray would show us within the fantasy realms of the movies, very entertaining, and he was very good at it.

Yes, the start of that brass-man was very creepy, cool music.

I consider horror, fantasy, and sci-fi to be separate expressions of the same sub-genre with a different focus. Horror is on fearing the phenomena, fantasy is about reveling in its awe, and sci-fi is about understanding it. So naturally there's some variance within each individual story in each genre where it feels more like the others, and one consistent emotion would be a bit dull. There's scary moments in 2001: A Space Odyssey and Lord of the Rings, just as there are in The Never-Ending Story. But the consistent tone of The Never-Ending Story is not terror (though there is in the climax with the wolf, or the weeping swamp), it is awe of this magical world. So I do not consider it to be horror for that reason.
