yeah sure, Elodie wasn't prepared to fight a dragon, she was left to die and that explains her outfit. but I still wonder when girls in fantasy and fairytale movies will stop fighting dragons and other monsters either in uncomfortable dresses or almost naked?
in the scene when she goes back for sister and starts picking up pieces of armor, I was sure she would wear them to protect herself (and that would be very powerful and aesthetic, I mean girls in armor are always cool). but no, she went to the dragon in only a corset and a scrap of skirt. and it looked dumb, not cool.

Movie Buffs, I need your help!
I'm looking for a movie and it's driving me insane! I have only vague memories of it because it was a borrowed VHS tape, and it's kinda stressing me out that I can't find this! I thought I had a decent lead but I finally watched it yesterday and it wasn't right, but one of the suggestions I got from Reddit wasn't right either?!
Here's what I know;
It had to be from the early 80's up to the mid 90's, since I watched it on tape in 1998.
2. It was definitely live-action with little to no animation.
3. But it's not Labyrinth, Neverending Story, or The Princess Bride.
4. The main scenes I remember are: a woman in a white dress being pursued by men on horseback, the same woman running through a snowy landscape, and the same woman falling in a pond and being rescued. This is very important because I have a distinct vision of her dress flowing and swirling in the water.
5. There were Unicorns? Or maybe just white horses? Involved.
Someone suggested Legend with Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and Tim Curry, which was incredibly close but not quite right because Princess Lili never fell into a pond and had to be saved? Jack dove in for the ring but Lili never fell in, which is crucial to my memory.
Today I watched Ladyhawke with Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer, and Michelle Phifer, which was incredibly sexy and powerful and had some elements that seemed familiar, but Legend was a lot closer but missed the most important scene in my mind.
Does anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?!

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention in regards to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is that it is well lit.
Even when the characters are using torches themselves, you never get that grimdark- barely lit- I can't tell what's happening- is the movie even playing- feeling.
Which is a nice change to the barely lit fantasy film genre of the last twenty years.
Let it be an end to the ill lit fantasy film, and also to the grimdark storylines that seem to go with it.
