I've always enjoyed Ladyhawke. Rutger Hauer was a great actor, and Michelle Pfeiffer was gorgeous in that movie. Matthew Broderick's accent was a bit pathetic, but forgivable in an otherwise good movie.

Well don’t get your hopes up on those. None are great films but if you want to deep dive into the sub-genre you might find something to enjoy in them.

depends on how hooked I get I guess lol only time can tell, right now im just focusing on the primary recommendations from everyone then we'll see how it goes  something about these movies is just really fun, even with dated effects and not so great acting, it is good food for the imagination

Rebecca (1940) - A self-conscious woman juggles adjusting to her new role as an aristocrat's wife and avoiding being intimidated by his first wife's spectral presence.
I couldn't help but view this 1941 Oscar-winner through a 2020 lens so that hampered my enjoyment a bit. It was filmed very well though with Hitchcock's signature creepy vibe. 7/10

"The Green Knight" (from Arthurian legend), comes out in May. I'm highly anticipating it.
I'd post the trailer, but I don't think we're allowed youtube links.

based on all your suggestions I picked up the below movies, I'll review as I receive them and watch them
-Clash of the titans (1981)
-Dragonslayer (1981)
-Excalibur (1981)
-The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982)
-Beastmaster (1982)
-Conan the Barbarian (1982)
-Sword of the Valiant (1984)
-Conan the Destroyer (1984)
-Ladyhawke (1985)
if I really enjoy these ill go further into your list Hellboy and pickup fire/ice, deathstalker, red sonja and warrior/sorceress. Legend i've seen and own, I enjoyed that one a lot too. Willow im going to watch on Disney+ for now since its on there, might get the blu-ray down the road
Tnovak, its been so long since i've seen Conan (1982) I can't even remember it im embarassed to say, and i've never seen Conan the destroyer (1984) I found a dual pack on amazon that has both movies on blu-ray  |
Of that list I would say only these are watchable IMO.
-Clash of the titans (1981)
-Excalibur (1981)
-Conan the Barbarian (1982)
-Sword of the Valiant (1984)
-Ladyhawke (1985)
And I don't know when it came out but "The 13th Warrior" is one of my favorite movies. It is based on the Michael Crichton Novel "Eaters of the Dead" which is itself based on an updated to Viking times Beowulf. Truly it is the only version of any kind (book or film) of Beowolf that I ever liked at all.

Post it without fear, a film trailer has nothing to do with the reasons we're not allowed to post YouTube links.
Oh, and Quicksilver, you might want to add Paul Verhoeven's Flesh+Blood to your list.

Contagion (2011) - 8/10
Tense and will leave you wondering “what if?”. Very well done and a stark reminder of what could happen in real life. Scary stuff.
