Legend

In 1985, Ridley scott (fella that made Alien) fancied making a fantasy film. So, he got himself a young lad on his way up the old acting laddery thingy, Tom Cruise, a rather tasty young lady named Mia Sara (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) and some fella named Tim Curry.

Plot: The Devil (that'll be Tim, in oodles of red paint and with very large antlers on 'is 'ed) decides he wants to take over never never land (or somethin'), but to do that he needs to stop the daylight. Now, as we all know, the only way to do that is to nick off with a couple of Unicorn horns...you with me so far? Good. So, Devily bloke sets his Goblin underlings after them. To find the Unicorns they follow Tom (as he knows where they 'ang out) and Mia to a bit of forest somewhere. Anyway, there's plenty more, but I'll not ruin it...that and I can't be bothered carrying on, it's all so fantastic (ha haaaa).

Budget: $30,000,000
Gross: $15, 502,112

Bit of a box office bomb, mainly for the romantic rambling and general weirdness of it all, but definitely a cult classic now.

Fun Fact: Unsurprisingly, the film received the Best Make-up Oscar nomination that year.
