invader says "Wonderful movie, very magical" about The NeverEnding Story

This was my favorite movie when i was a kid. I love the drama and the suspense. I fell in love with all the characters, especially Bastian, Atreyu and the childlike empress. I laughed i cried and it never got old. I watched it several times recently and there was so much i missed or never understood when i was a kid. i still love the move, maybe because it takes me back to my childhood. I am not a fan of fantasy, but this movie is an exception.

This movie makes you believe that your dreams really can become a reality.

Okay I gush a bit, perhaps because the movie actually considers reading a book one of the most rewarding and best things you can do with your time.

It is in fact a book that our hero must get into, so he can help a warrior with the help of some very imaginative mythical creatures to stop the growing NOTHING that threatens to destroy a special world.

The film is warm and sweet without being overly sentimental or syrupy. It's the first English language film directed by Wolfgang (Das Boot) Petersen and I think it's a gem.
