Legend (1985)



Ridley Scott cashed in on the big unicorn craze of the early 80's (was there really a unicorn craze? I think I just made that up) with this film. Everything is lovely in fairytale land until ghouls show up and chop the corn off of this one unicorn. Then it turns winter in 0.2 seconds and Tom Cruise gets trapped underneath a frozen river.

Ferris Bueller's girlfriend gets captured by the Prince of Darkness (think Hellboy on roids but with the big horns) and it's up to Tom to save her and the unicorns and the world and the galaxy and the existence of eternal eternity.

All joking aside this movie rocks. Plus it has an amazing score by Tangerine Dream.
