When you can live forever, three decades may not seem like a long time, but for us mere mortals, a 30th anniversary is a big deal, especially when that anniversary is for The Highlander, a science fiction/fantasy classic that is somehow both timeless and yet such a product of the 1980s.

Released March 7, 1986, The Highlander not only introduced one of the best catchphrases into our lexicon -- "There can be only one!" -- it also gave us Sean Connery (as an ancient Egyptian who became a Spaniard ... with a Scottish accent), Christopher Lambert (a real-life Frenchman who plays a Scotsman with an ambiguous accent), Clancy Brown (the guy who would be Lex Luthor playing a, well, punk-rock Kurgan) and eight new songs from the band Queen. There was sword fighting with sparks, epic electric Quickening demons, a lot of unnecessary backflips, a romance, a bromance and more than a few visible wires.

If you’re unfamiliar with the movie, and think it sounds a little cheesy, that’s because it is. But it’s also brilliant and enduring, and launched a fandom that continued with sequels of diminishing quality, a really good syndicated television show, books, animated movies and more. And it’s also worth noting, that fan base includes ultimate man’s man Nick Offerman/Ron Swanson, who introduced the movie to his Parks and Recreation costar -- and future Star-Lord -- Chris Pratt.
