Ladyhawke (1985)
Member Rating:  
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, Rovi

Every now and then a story touches you with its tale of struggle, hope and ultimate triumph. The joyous "Mouse" only adds to the delight of the telling. Enjoy!

One of the greatest movies of all time. I love the story and get emotional everytime I see it. A wonderful story for children and adults alike. Definitely rentworthy!

I hated the cheezy drama love ending (and really, dozens of guys just standing around doing nothing while the Bishop got killed?), but the rest was good...

I really liked it! A fun story, and I began to believe it...the acting was good . A mysterious edge kept me intruiged and I loved the ending. I'd like to watch it again, and that says a lot.

One of the best movies for the millenia. the Cinematography is breathtaking! The movie holds true to the ancient French myth that I was brought up with. The actors & actresses were absolutly perfect for thier roles!!! Humor, love, suspence, danger and magic of myth all in one very special movie. Very intellegent. I hightly recommend this.
