I have been thinking about this a lot, but does any one think that Wolfgang Peterson should do a George Lucas and remaster The Never Ending Story with improved effects, like some of the the back ground matte paintings and blue screen stuff? Obviously not as extreme as what George done ( eg, Gmork pounced first) , but enough to improve it a bit visually

As a kid I couldn't get enough of this movie, and as an Adult I still think it's better than most Hollywood movies.

the lady that played the Child Like Empress has aged gracefully.

Tami Stronach replied to a comment I made here on YouTube, and having The Childlike Empress respond to me was one of the most magical moments of my life!

Something about this movie truly transported me to another world. Over the years since, I often compared movies to this one. Why don't they feel as real? Why did NS scare me so? Why does it have an amazing feeling to it?

I realize it is partly because they didn't have CGI back then. This movie is magic because of that imo. The beauty of the 80s is encapsulated within this timeless gem.

"ARRRTAAX!!! NOOOO!!" still gives me chills. Won't lie...first time as a kid, I was weeping inconsolably.

The first time I let my daughters watched this I had the biggest epiphany. The look on their faces and the emotion that came through was the same look I must have had on my face and in that moment I was my parents looking at myself as I looked at my daughters. There was no time there was only everything all at once. A never ending moment where every thought,dream,action could be.

An amazing masterpiece. This is when movie making was movie making. One of 2 masterpieces. The other of course was The Dark Crystal.Witch took 5 years to make. Jim Henson at his best....

At 49 years old this film reminded me to fight the darkness and live my dreams.
The soundtrack is great too!

I grew up in a nightmare and this was not only my escape but my hope. It still holds number one in my heart.

I firmly believe that if anyone tries to “re-imagine” this movie, they’ll be tarred and feathered in public.

The Neverending Story Part 1 movie ending was perfect!! I was a 12 year old boy when I first seen it and of course at the time had bullys messing with me at my school in New York City. To see the bullys get trashed literally made me feel great! I remember jumping around at that part yelling "ya muthafu**as take that!!" I am a 41 year old retired marine 6'4" 240 lbs with kids now and I was over the moon happy to see my kids have the same reaction as me at 12 years of age. I truly love this movie!!!!!
