Conan The Barbarian. 1982.
The film follows Conan played by Arnie, from childhood when his parents are killed and follows him through his early years as a slave to adulthood when he becomes a fighter and a thief. What drives Conan is pure bloodthirsty revenge on the man who killed his parents played brilliantly by James Earl Jones. Mako is the mind boggling wizard and narrator of the Conan story. Sandahl Bergman is the smooth female thief and love interest and Gerry Lopez as the little sidekick.
Conan the Barbarian is one of those films that just shouldn't work on paper, but somehow ends up not only working, but becoming a classic. Everything is right here thanks to Milius unashamed bigger than life direction with cinematography, great set pieces and a great background score by Basil Poledouris.
