Mio in the land of Faraway (1987)
everything about this movie is like sweet fantasy ambrosia to me - an older style of fantasy/adventure film that I always look for, akin to Never-ending Story and the like.
The scenery is great - I love the long bridge and the black knight's castle and under the mountain, and the dungeon scenes are just great. The music is charming and worked well. Christopher Lee is obv brilliant.
Hokey, very trash-stratum stuff, and I can certainly see why it isn't well loved, but it just ticks all the right boxes for me

Old ice cream advert, palimpsest on a beach hut.

It had always been a lurching, bloated monster. It had always swayed above the sea on spindle-legs, trying with all its might to pull away from the sand and away into the ocean. Its metal groaned with decay and rust; its arcade machines groaned in disharmony with each other; it groaned under the weight of holidaymakers. It was an eternal groaning that we learned to never hear.
