Sweet nostalgia. I remember seeing this movie in theaters with my dad. Even to this day, if mention is made of Romans in Britain I think about Einon and his fortress.
Incidentally, my friend had a cat named Einon. [Yes, I just looked up the spelling on imdb. I'm not that good]
I hate this film. I hate it for all the right reasons. Its bloody great. But it made me cry like a big fuckin girl infront of all my friends. I walked it off as they took the piss. But then watching it years later with the missus.....I cried like a girl again. What is it with me and Dragons!!!!
i thought this movie wasa lot of fun.i must take it home from the store and watch it again soon.
on another point i for one am getting sick of CGI MOVIES.I am watching Cleopatra and remembering how it was to watch a real film with 1,000's of real people,real sets,real costumes,etc.Movies like Cleopatra,Ben Hur,etc....I wonder if the will ever make a film again with a cast of 1,000's.
I loved this movie and in general I am not a Dennis Quaid fan because I am tired of him pretending he's Harrison Ford. But this movie rocked. It was also the first thing I saw David Thewlis in.
@redqueenmeg: And really, can you blame him for pretending to be Harrison Ford? I think we can all admit to pretending to be Harrison Ford every once and a while.
I had never even heard of Dragonheart but somehow magically came into possession of the VHS. (Seriously, one day it was just in my collection...and my VHS collection is small and generally pretty purposeful.)
Also, I was just watching an episode of Saved by the Bell in which Kelly says she wishes she could take Dennis Quaid to the dance.
What's my point? The only person possibly more awesome than Sean Connery is Dennis Quaid.
@Sunshineyness: Blattella: Randy Edleman's original score for this movie became was probably the most overused stock music for a while.
The Academy Awards kept using it for their tacky dead people montages and it was the go to song for movie trailers that needed generic 'uplifting hero music'.
That and Jerry Goldsmith's Judge Dread trailer score were sort of like the Lux Aterna for mid to late 90s.
@omgwtflolbbqbye: Don't forget the Theme from Dave, which was also used as a catch-all "lighthearted story to follow" music cue in trailers of that period.
@omgwtflolbbqbye: Yeah, I know, but call me corny but I still really like it. I actually used to play it in the background when I was working on a fantasy novel a bit back. And before that my brother used to play it (along with a bunch of other fantasy-ish cd's) whenever he was gaming.

knowing my Ex was seriously into Dragon's and us wanting to see it again, we took her along to see it.
the movie get's to the scene where Draco first appears fully flying from the waterfall when my ex yells without thinking
'I WANT TO F*** THAT DRAGON!!!!!!!'
I was laughing so hard....

And the soundtrack is obscenely good as well.

Or were you just infected with Pandorum?
Not that I'm complaining, though. Dragonheart is a great movie.
