"Ladyhawke" released 1985



Richard Donner's medieval fantasy film Ladyhawke was released in the US April 12, 1985, with Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer, and Michelle Pfeiffer.  Hauer and Pfeiffer play lovers who have been cursed by a bishop.  Hauer's character is human by day, and turns into a wolf at night.  Pfeiffer's character is a hawk by day and human at night.  

Despite a poor box-office performance, Ladyhawke was nominated for two Oscars: Best Sound and Best Sound Effects Editing.

It did win Saturn Awards for Best Fantasy Film and Best Costumes for Nana Cecchi.  Michelle Pfeiffer was nominated for Best Actress and Andrew Powell was nominated for Best Music.  

I enjoyed the soundtrack which was Alan Parsons the music score producer.  The music sounded like an Alan Parsons Project album.
