DRAGONSLAYER (1981). Don't pass this by because of the Disney name...extremely gritty and well made . A King has entered into a bargain to keep a Dragon at bay and some of the locals enlist the aid of a sorcerer for help and end up getting his apprentice instead. I'm sure parents expecting the usual Disney film for their children were dismayed to find somewhat gruesome parts and brief nudity (important to the plot and not for sensationalism) as well as the Dragon itself...magnificent work done to create it. Very recommended. ****
