Is "Conan The Barbarian" one of the best movies ever made ??? It is chocked-full of "Jungian Archetypes", but scaled-down to the practical, human, level. It's treatment of personality-cult leaders, aptly represented by James Earl Jones, is almost prophetic at this point - left, right, whatever. It's a simple movie, little "flash" or even attempt at "seeming relevant" - yet it IS relevant and instructive. A very "human" film. Today's seeming complexities projected on a simpler time. I especially liked the short dialogue about gods/religions. We can see how "omnipotent" gods evolved there. Sometimes films are different than they SEEM on the surface.
