Anybody seen it in the movie theater? Any memories?

This is my favorite medieval movie of all time. I keep returning to this movie to rewatch it every other 2-3 years, it’s that good. I must have seen it at least 20 times by now. I saw it the first time in early 90s when I must have been about 13 years old and I instantly fell in love with it. It made a huge impression on me. Sadly I saw it only on VHS at the time in Russia, but I was wondering if it was shown in American cinema at all.

This never even came to my town, Ottawa, Canada, when it came out. I do not recall seeing ads for it in papers or on TV. I think it only had a limited release in the US. I definitely would have been aware of this kind of movie, being a 20-year-old Dungeons and Dragons and history nerd in 1985. I never even heard of it until about 1989 or 1990 when I caught it on late night television, and like in your story, it instantly became a personal favorite.
