I have Dragonslayer on laserdisc and watched it for the first time somewhat recently. If I'd known there was a female protagonist, I'd have watched it a lot sooner. It's sad we lost Caitlin Clark so young.

What about Krull?

This was my favorite. It was Science-Fantasy, but it was easy to tweak for more or less science fiction.

And the Glaive was an excellent magical weapon.

Love Krull! I am pretty sure this will not be the last one of these recommendations. I think I can easily suggest at least 8 more films of this era (and a few from earlier).

Dragonslayer is an excellent film and love the story, acting and special effects. Underappreciated film. Dungeon Master I first seen last year as part of the Arrow Video release of Empire of Scream the Video Store Boxset. Good film.

I just saw THE DUNGEONMASTER recently and referenced the poster here.
