Baha, you mixed Genre'a as well, Xanadu is a "dance movie" (a la saturday night fever) starring Oliva Newton John
Nightwatch/Daywatch are the first two movies based on a Russian author's "fantasy world" It is set in the modern day, but the backstory is that for thousands of years the two armies of light and dark have been warring for dominance over the world. In time the war ground to a halt and and both sides declared a truce in which they would devide the day into the night and day and at each time thier respective power would be dominant. Something then happens to disrupt the balance and the war looks as if it is about to either re-ignite or be ended once and for all. The movies are in Russian with subtitles and they can get a bit confusing as the action is pretty fast and furious in parts (and, umm, "messy"). AFAIK, the third movie has not yet been released
Rating: 8/10
Outbreak is your typical "end of the world via plauge" type flick, imagine "The Stand", without the religious overtones, and thats pretty much what it is, nothing special.

The Dark Crystal is a very early "fantasy muppet movie", done by Jim Henson. The basic premise is that thier are two races of beings (light and dark) and they are trying to save what is left of a race known as the "gelflings" and it is the story of how "the last gelfling" finds another and thier struggle against the evil Skecksies. It's hard to write too much without giving away too much info on this one.
