I am watching Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I watched this when it came out and remember being terrified by the body in the cage at the beginning, which I now see is on screen for maybe five seconds, tops.

Rewatching it now? Wow. Just. Wow. If it weren't for the A-list cast, I'd swear this was made for $5 in Romania for the Syfy Channel. I see why Mel Brooks parodied it. It should be parodied.

Weirdly, this was one of my go-to movies for watching while home sick. It doesn't hold up -- except, as others have mentioned, for Alan Rickman. CUSFS once held an event called "Alan Rickman: Beneath His Dignity" with clips of Alan Rickman's most memorable performances, and the Sheriff was up there. :)
