Highlander (1986)

 When, within the first 5 minutes, this movie paralleled an epic battle in 16th-century Scotland with a wrestling match, I knew I was in for something special. This movie should be on a double bill with the Beastmaster. All in all, a pretty fun dose of schlock. While fairly entertaining all the way through, I thought the second half was somewhat weaker than the first, and Sean Connery could have used some more screentime throughout.
