01
The Princess Bride
Why this pick
Its affectionate storybook quest, arch narration, swordplay, and playful treatment of fantasy clichés make it a much warmer but similarly irreverent companion to Your Highness.

02
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Why this pick
A heightened bromance and knowingly ridiculous action set pieces give it the same commitment to sending up heroic-movie posturing while keeping the comic partnership central.
03
Army of Darkness
Why this pick
Bruce Campbell’s swaggering fool is dropped into a medieval monster quest, where broad slapstick, fake heroics, and exuberantly lowbrow fantasy violence echo Your Highness at its best.
04
The Brothers Bloom
Why this pick
Though less crude, its storybook artifice, eccentric sibling dynamic, and playful adventure plotting offer a similarly stylized escape built around bickering brothers.
05
Gentlemen Broncos
Why this pick
For the taste for aggressively silly fantasy-world invention, this deadpan cult comedy turns amateur sci-fi melodrama and embarrassing heroic fantasies into its own oddball universe.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Thadeous and Fabious are sons of King Tallious in the Kingdom of Mourne. They are warriors: Fabious is dashing and skilled and Thadeous is lazy and ineffectual. While celebrating his latest victory over the evil sorcerer, Leezar, who has been ravaging Tallious's kingdom, Fabious introduces the virgin Belladonna whom he has freed from a tower and wishes to marry. Though his brother makes him the best man, Thadeous skips the wedding after overhearing Fabious' Knights Elite, led by Boremont, talk about him negatively. The wedding is then crashed by Leezar, who reveals himself to be the one who placed Belladonna in the tower. Leezar re-kidnaps her and flees. Returning to the castle with his servant Courtney, Thadeous is given an ultimatum: join Fabious on his quest to rescue Belladonna or be banished from Mourne.
