Ladyhawke

In medieval France, knight Rutger Hauer and lady fair Michelle Pfeiffer both run afoul of evil-bishop John Wood. Through the auspices of bishop's confessor Leo McKern, Hauer and Pfeiffer are placed under a curse. During the night, Hauer takes the form of a wolf, while Pfeiffer assumes the form of a hawk by day. The two lovers can only meet one another as humans at dawn and dusk. The only mortal in a position to rescue Hauer and Pfeiffer from their fate is nebbishy pickpocket Matthew Broderick, who acts as liaison between the lovers. With the help of the guilt-ridden McKern--and a convenient solar eclipse--Broderick endeavors to set things aright.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

  Ever since I was a kid, I loved fantasy movies. As a matter of fact, anything with swordfights was great in my book. And since I grew up in the days before Lord... read more »

  fantastic fantasy
  
  This is a lovely film. A love story where our central character plays the matchmaker rather than a lover. Matthew Broderick has looked about 21 for the last 20-... read more »

  Pointless 80s `Fantasy` Flick
  
  I rented this film because the Radio Times critic rated it 4-stars, and because watching Michelle Pfeiffer, who plays Isabeau, is always a thing of delight. ... read more »
