So this is a pretty obscure question, but it has been plaguing me for a number of years. There was this movie I used to watch on t.v. all the time when I was younger and I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. The problem is, the only distinguishing feature I can for certain remember about the film was that whenever the evil villain's name was said (some evil lord of some sort) it would thunder. Beyond that I have vague recollections of it being a live action film involving a boy journeying across this land, possibly meeting up with some character under a mountain, and culminating in a tower of sorts, but I can't be certain. I know this is somewhat vague but any direction as to the answer to this mystery would be appreciated.

Sounds to me like the never ending story.

It also sounds like The NeverEnding Story to me.

(A-tray-you) sounds like the name you are talking about and I believe it is never ending story

Oh yeah never ending story

I think this one may actually be the almost-as-popular Mio and the Land of Faraway. I haven't seen it myself, but a review on Amazon has this to say:

"Enter the evil villain, KATO! Every time his name is spoken, a fierce and scary wind blows from somewhere offscreen. The effect is so comical, I guarantee you will find yourself repeatedly faux-intoning "KA-TO! " after watching the film."

It's definitely "The Land of Faraway!" This movie is definitely one of my all-time favorites! Whenever Kato's name is said, that's when the thunder and wind starts up. It's a wonderful movie... I highly recommend it if you're lucky enough to find a copy and see it!
