neutral · AI labelView post →I just rewatched Highlander (1986) for the first time in decades. It's clunky, uneven and the dialogue is mostly woeful, but it's still quite fun. I'm not normally a fan of remakes, but I reckon #Highlander deserves one, because the central idea of the immortals is very cool. ⚔️ #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Highlander is a Christmas movie. No, I don't think I'll elaborate.
positive · AI labelView post →Highlander (1986) 🎬🖤 Directed by Russell Mulcahy
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Highlander again last night. The Queen soundtrack for that movie will never get old. Just magnificent. Every song just makes the scene better.
positive · AI labelView post →#FilmHistory On this day, 1986, John Carpenter’s underappreciated Big Trouble in Little China was released. Before Kurt Russell became Jack Burton, Carpenter looked at bigger-name stars like Clint Eastwood & Jack Nicholson. Russell passed on the Connor MacLeod role in Highlander for this film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Goodnight #bluesky friends. “There can be only one” Eilean Donan Castle, one of the locations used in the great movie Highlander. I was hoping for a dramatic sunset but it simply wasn’t going to happen. Was I disappointed? Yes, but it just means I’ll have to go back another day right?
positive · AI labelView post →Highlander casting director: ok we got a french dude to play the scots dude and a scots dude to play the spanish dude 80s producers, buried in cocaine : sounds amazing film it
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching Highlander (1986) for the first time in 20 years and this movie fucking rules. It's also 40 years old. Sit with THAT one for a few minutes.
positive · AI labelView post →Finishing my Highlander rewatch from last night and god damn Clancy Brown is so good in this. Insane scenery chewing, generational heavy talent. He knows exactly what fucking movie he’s in. Lambert is awful of course
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching: I've never seen the Highlander movie, and I'm watching it with Leslie for the first time ever (Leslie has seen it a ton of times).
neutral · AI labelView post →Highlander reboot moving forward with Henry Cavill. Good news! comicbook.com/movies/news/...
neutral · AI labelView post →happy birthday Highlander, a movie that has a Frenchman play a Scotsman and the most famous Scottish actor ever play an Egyptian Spaniard
neutral · AI labelView post →Gillan's Scottish, so going by the first HIGHLANDER movie, this means she'll play an Egyptian born Spanish swordswoman.
neutral · AI labelView post →Incidentally, you should absolutely see the movie he made before Highlander, the one about the giant killer pig on a rampage in the Australian outback, Razorback. The premise is Jaws down under, the visuals are incredible, there's some shots in this movie that are god damn jawdropping.
neutral · AI labelView post →The intro scene to Highlander involved a sophisticated prototype computerized camera system, and the final fight scene of the movie was shot in part by taping a camera to an office chair and kicking it back and forth across the sound stage.
neutral · AI labelView post →I know the Highlander is allegedly the hero of this film but hear me out, we’re 32 minutes in & Clancy Brown has not yet disrespected a woman
positive · AI labelView post →The HIGHLANDER franchise is a strange one. It consists of one halfway decent film, one moderately okay TV series and four utterly terrible films (one of which might be the worst ever made). The rare case where the very concept is far cooler than the actual output.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just realised we're going to be driving past the Highlander castle.
neutral · AI labelView post →We're screening HIGHLANDER for free at 7pm at the Ojai Playhouse tomorrow night in honor of my dad, one of the original film's co-writers. I have no sense of whether any Bluesky people are actually In My Area, but you're invited! ojaiplayhouse.com/event/highla...

neutral · AI labelView post →I occasionally worry that Highlander might be my favorite movie, and I actually (mostly) love the TV series, yet I'm deeply afraid of every single Highlander sequel and I've never watched any of them. I'm simply not strong enough for whatever this is.
positive · AI labelView post →First look at the new Highlander film with Henry Cavill. I see the movie industry still has that special deal with the black leather manufacturer ;) It better have a lot of scenes set in the past. I don't mind 2 hours of Cavill chopping off heads, but I also need my history fix.
neutral · AI labelView post →They should really let me make a Highlander movie set in 1980's Japan where he has to fight biker gangs. Also wierd fantasy stuff...

neutral · AI labelView post →Spirit of Adventure (1991) | RPG | PC platforms | attic Entertainment Software Sean Connery's likeness from the 1986 film, The Highlander, lurks as an NPC in this fantasy RPG where a drug epidemic (and not a band of immortals beheading each other) threatens a world forsaken by the gods.
neutral · AI labelView post →the more I get into Highlander, the more concerned I am about the remake. there are 3 love stories in the 1st: Connor & Heather, Connor & Brenda, Rachel's unrequited love for Connor. 4 counting Connor & Ramírez. a Highlander film without romance isn't Highlander, it's just dudes playing with swords
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Highlander in the cinema again for its 40th Anniversary. I’m now older than Sean Connery was when he made this film. There can be only one.
positive · AI labelView post →Right now I have a guy literally named "Just Another Film Nerd" talking about the merits of various cuts of Highlander 2 in my mentions with another man and neither of them follow me. This is the world we've chosen to accept
neutral · AI labelView post →Highlander is fully a film where everyone making it knew it was trash and they still put their whole chest into it and i love it for that
positive · AI labelView post →I would like to make a historically accurate Highlander film.
neutral · AI labelView post →#MusicHistory On this day, 1984, Queen released "Hamme To Fall", the 4th & final single from their 11th album, The Works. Featured in the 1986 film Highlander, it was also the 3rd song Queen performed at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in 1985. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU5L...
neutral · AI labelView post →Omfg?? Movie gauntlet time I need to watch Highlander and then I want to see if I can stick to this all year because these are ALL bangers
positive · AI labelView post →I've got both the good Highlander movies
positive · AI labelView post →heard there was a sword-and-sorcery movie marathon in LA recently that culminated with a Highlander screening, and I'm flip-a-table mad that no one told me
positive · AI labelView post →Razorback Before Russell Mulcahy directed Highlander, he made a movie about a giant killer pig called Razorback, and you'd think a giant pig movie would be silly, but it's got some incredible cinematography and the atmosphere is incredible, it feels downright apocalyptic.
neutral · AI labelView post →And Highlander is definitely a film that nerdy 80s kids in Hawkins would have obsessed over.

neutral · AI labelView post →You stay off your damn phone and pay Highlander the respect it deserves. This movie inspired an entire generation to find especially cool sticks in the yard.
positive · AI labelView post →Any fans of the original 1986 Highlander film?
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonights movie. There can be only one. (Except this is the 2nd of them) Highlander 2: Renegade edition My my, that's a very 90s movie poster.
neutral · AI labelView post →Highlander: The Animated Series! All 40 episodes of the far future animated adaption of the classic film franchise! No onscreen beheadings in the cartoon, although offscreen is a different story...
neutral · AI labelView post →The longevity of the Highlander franchise fascinates me considering there's only one movie in the entire run of films and TV shows that's worth giving 2 hours of your time.
positive · AI labelView post →I feel like Michael Kamen is underrated as a film composer. Dead Zone, Brazil, Highlander, Die Hard, Baron Munchausen, Prince of Thieves. So many greats. He died way too young.
neutral · AI labelView post →I know it's too easy to pile on this movie but... Highlander 2: the quickening
negative · AI labelView post →Also there has only been one Highlander movie, despite the rumors.
positive · AI labelView post →40 years ago, Ocean was peddling its Highlander game-of-the-movie. Here's a DIY review kit. Just rearrange the following words to make your very own critique: Festering, shambling, game, bag o' shite, sluggish, mockery, half-assed, overpriced, knobcheese, crap-looking.
neutral · AI labelView post →Today I learned that I have been conflating Highlander with that one M*l Gibson movie for my whole entire life, and it’s like a whole different decade and genre

neutral · AI labelView post →really good essay appreciating HIGHLANDER - a movie that that I honestly don't like very much. But it's good that other people like it!
negative · AI labelView post →Dark City is fascinating. I didn't like Gundam 0080: War In The Pocket as much as most gundam fans seem to. I'm still thinking about Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. And Highlander is Scott Pilgrim for boomers. letterboxd.com/NostraDouglas #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
neutral · AI labelView post →Highlander is such a stylish, emotional film. I love the melodrama, the little vignettes through time, I love how terrifying Clancy Brown is and how deeply sad Lambert can be. And I cry every time Heather walks over the hill carrying the lamb.
positive · AI labelView post →‘Don’t remake Highlander!’ Highlander is so perfectly awful it’s impossible to remake. It’s not so bad that it’s good. It’s so bad it’s great. There’s no way to capture the demented bombast and po-faced lunacy of the original. So don’t try. There can be only one! In @heraldscotland.bsky.social
positive · AI labelView post →I just finished Highlander (1986) 1. it's a World of Darkness movie 2. SCOTLANNNNDDDD FORRREVERRRRRR
positive · AI labelView post →So, a question to start the morning. Have any of you ever named your pet or child after a book, film, or series character? My son's name is Connor. I named him after two characters. Connor MacLeod from Highlander. And Connor Temple from the British series Primeval.
