Review of Conan the Barbarian (1982) by Al P — 09 Nov 2011

This movie is one of the best in this genre. Normally billed as a macho man type of movie, this film has tons of thematic elements that probably go unnoticed by many viewers. Which makes so much sense when people realize that Oliver Stone wrote the screenplay.

I haven't seen the remake that is very much unrelated to the mythos set up by this film, but they need to do what Arnold asks in the special features. Complete the trilogy that was set up by Milius in some way. They could technically ignore the second film and start from there!

Definitely on my top films list.
