In a just world, Conan the Barbarian should have been the ignition point for a revolution in fantasy filmmaking. Full proof of concept that adults would show up for complex world-building alongside strong themes of sex and violence.

Instead, Milius' masterpiece inspired half a hundred weak imitations, and a series of campy Raimi Bros. TV productions. It would take another several decades for Game of Thrones to come along and pick up what Conan was putting down. 

It's a perfect early role for Schwarzenegger, in that lines are few, and opportunities to flex and look statuesque are plentiful. A film rich in practical effects, grand vistas, and a beautiful score by Basil Poledouris. Also James Earl Jones is there, delivering an absolutely iconic performance of cinematic villainy. In a world of hobbits and hogwarts and fairy princesses, Conan the Barbarian is a one of a kind gem.
