REQUESTING
No sexual jokes or nudity!!!!
I’m looking for movies to add to my retro fantasy adventure movie marathon. It can be from the 70s-90s, maybe the 2000s if it’s really good. Thanks!

Labyrinth
Good one.
Return to Oz, also. It’s scary reputation is a bit overblown.
Obviously DRAGONHEART and EXPLORERS are often forgotten. DRAGONSLAYER is good too but a little scary. The original CLASH OF THE TITANS should be fine.
Last Starfighter
Thank you!! Is Explorers a bit childish? Or is it still enjoyable for adults despite the child cast, like the Goonies?
Dragon Slayer, dragon heart, labyrinth, and Return to Oz are definitely going on my list!!
Explorers is more from that same time period as the Goonies where children's entertainment was a bit more adult and similar to an older sensibility.
It’s got a reputation for traumatizing xennials when they were children, not so much for being scary.
Stardust
Honor Among Thieves
Dragonheart
Jumanji
Yes - great list
Stardust and Honor Among Thieves both wildly exceeded my expectations
Ladyhawke (1985)
Looks really good!!! Thanks!
It’s a wonderful film with an atrocious soundtrack. Such a great cast too!
Flight of the Navigator (1986)
Hook (1991)
E.T. (1982)
Goonies
Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Edit: I forgot Baron Munchausen has nudity thx those that pointed it out
Adventures of Baron Munchausen has boob in it.
But it’s tastefully done, mimicking Boticelli’s Birth of Venus.
I'm not saying it's not, but the OP was pretty clear on the no nudity.
[Edit: and the whole King of the Moon scene with his body humping the Queen is definitely sexual innuendo that OP is looking to avoid.]
I understand, I enjoyed the movie when I was growing up. My mind didn’t register the sexual stuff back then.
that statue scene tho
Krull (1983)
Legend (1985)
Looks good except that devil in Legend might give me nightmares Lol!!!
Just remember that's it's really Tim Curry and he's a wonderful delight of a person!
Oh my gosh, Tim curry is the one in that costume?!?!?!?? And I thought he was scary as a clown! He’s frickin awesome. Can’t wait to watch that
And you get to see a VERY young Tom Cruise
such a cool looking film
It is!!!!! The fairy looks exactly how I imagine a fairy would look. Thanks for the suggestion
Liam Neeson made some weird movies early in his career 😂
Love that one, though
Better than Star Wars
Cloak and Dagger
Jack Flack always escapes!
You could try The Black Cauldron and The Last Unicorn. Both are animated films from the early 80s. Secret of Nimh might work too.
The tree boobies 😆
Stardust.
While this is a unique request, I think it's worth mentioning that there was a post 6 hours ago, or so, that might have something for you. Somebody requested movies similar to Alice in Wonderland and I've already seen some overlap here. Here's a link to that post.
Honey I Shrunk The Kids (1989)
Honey I Blew Up The Kid (1992)
The Witches (1990)
Dick Tracy (1990)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Dragonslayer (1981). Warning: there is a swimming scene where you see a guy's butt as he dives into the water and, a little later, the outline of a nude female underwater. Both instances are quite brief and not at all graphic or sexual.
Thanks for the warning! As long as it’s brief and not sexual that’s fine. Is there a lot of creepiness between the king and a girl throughout the movie, or just one brief scene? I’m going off the parent’s guide warning..
I don't recall a lot of creepiness, but it's been a few years.
Ok that’s good then. Ty!!!
Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)
Thank you!!!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
The 5000 Fingers of Dr T
(Animated ok?) Secret of NIMH
9
"The 5000 Fingers of Dr T" had to have been made with the aid of a psychedelic
If animated is OK you also have The Black Cauldron and The Lord of the Rings
Tuck Everlasting (2002)
One of my favorite books❤️
Legend.
My first thought was Legend. Tom Cruise with his original teeth! I can never decide which cut I like best. I wish Ridley actually had made a director’s cut of it…
But anyway… Here to specify that it’s the Tom Cruise Lefend not the Tom Hardy one 😬
Can I ask, is there a LOT of romance going on in the movie? It looks really good but I don’t want the main focus to be the relationship. Is it like 80% adventure and 20% romance?
The romance is almost incidental to what's going on; most of it is "saving the princess"
Oh ok, so they like fall in love and then the movie is spent trying to save her? Ok that’s fine, thank you!!
Pretty much, yes.
Iron Giant
Bridge to Terabithia.
It is traumatizing tho. Don't say I didn't warn you.
I watched it as a kid. But haven’t since. I will definitely be rewatching!
A few decades off from the examples but yeah that shit was rough
I read the book in 4th or 5th grade and its haunted me ever since. The movie is on my Nope List with Grave of The Fireflies.
Just rewatched it an hour ago and I’m still trying to recover. I don’t remember it being that sad 😥😢 many tears were shed
I know pat pat.
Ever After
Goonies
The Spiderwick Chronicles
A beloved film.. seen it recently, but thank you!!!
The Phantom Tollbooth is a sweet fantasy that goes from live action to animated and has a crazy tale involving STEM concepts, philosophy, music, the friends we make along the way...lol check it out though. (Also a great kids book by Norton Juster with illustrations by the incomparable Jules Feiffer.)
The Nutcracker and The Four Realms
Alice (1988)
Super Mario Bros. (1993)
Pan (looks nice, but I wasn't a huge fan)
Oz: The Great and Powerful (same as Pan)
Explorers (1985ish)

Monster Squad
Goonies
Krull
Labrynth

Back to the future
2001: A space Odyssey
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Not getting the connection on that one. It’s not much of an adventure flick, more of a slow, cerebral head trip. With extreme emphasis on slow.
I’ve seen it. I loved it, but not really the same vibe as the movies I mentioned. It’s a great film though
