'Willow'
I'd like to spotlight this fun Ron Howard-George Lucas creation from my childhood. Warwick Davis ("Star Wars," "Harry Potter") stars as Willow Ufgood, who finds a baby girl and, with the help of swordsman Madmartigan (Val Kilmer), seeks to return her to her people and save the world. What follows is a fantasy adventure with dragons, dog beasts and other familiar genre staples - it's not the best film in the world, but for people of a certain age group, it's a fond nostalgia piece. (Blu-ray/DVD combo, $24.99)
