Sorceress




In hind sight, Sorceress (1982) is probably one of the worst movies out there, but when I saw it (I must have been anything between five and nine years old) it was the best freakin' thing ever. I think it is this movie that started my life-long love affair with fantasy adventures. The only books I read as a child were fantasy adventures. Wizards and witches, swords and sorcery, dragons and fairies, half nude barbarians and amazons, unicorns and fawns... my fascination with these, I think, is most probably because of this movie. It is awfully troubling to think that this movie played a crucial role in setting up my worldview. Luckily worldviews can change!

I would pay a lot to see this movie again -- I think it would be great therapy to see how I grew since then. So if you have it, please let me know.

(By the way, contrary to the title there is actually no "sorceress" in the flick!)
