If I remember correctly, it has been shown on television many times. A young man wants to marry his sweetheart but some wizard has other ideas. He curses them, the boy is to be a wolf during the day and she becomes an owl at night. They stay close as at dusk they get a brief glimpse of each other during the change. It seems that one of them is a very good archer.
Yes, I did try google, and I failed. I just don’t know how to word it to get relevant search returns.
So, please, help an underdeveloped googler find his quarry.
Of course it’s Ladyhawke. And a great film, if you don’t mind the tragically '80s synth-heavy soundtrack. (And some people think it’s awesome, so YMMV.)
Maybe you didn’t come up with anything on Google because she’s a hawk, not an owl?
Thank you, Sigmagirl, I do believe that is the one.
I haven’t seen it in so long that I couldn’t even get the plot right!
So did you know it instinctively, or use Google, magic? Just looking at my description now makes me cringe a little. Thanks again.
My apologize for posting in the wrong forum, I didn’t think CS would be the place for it.
Sorry, Colibri and thank you.
Yes, I knew it right away. I can’t help with sci-fi, but there are plenty of other Dopers standing by for that. MGM and Warner Bros. musicals and gangster films, and the entire oeuvres of about two dozen dead actors – I’m your girl.

In fact, that seems to be a rule here. If someone can’t remember the title of a movie, they probably also can’t remember the plot correctly. This one was actually fairly close. There have been other cases that took much longer to figure out because the poster had the plot badly messed up. And, of course, there are all the ones we never worked out because the description of the plot was so far off that we couldn’t figure it out at all.
Ladyhawke is my leading contender for worst musical score of all time. I had trouble believing that whoever composed the score for the movie ever saw it or even looked at the script.
Ladyhawke is my leading contender for the most awesomest musical score of all time. Really captures the action, the adventure, and the romance. I went out and bought the CD!
