I quite enjoyed the new one notwithstanding – Rachel Nichols certainly helped :). And a lot more than I did the remake of Clash of the Titans.

A movie that very rarely gets mentioned in discussions of this genre but definitely belongs is 1998's Pleasantville.

I insist on puppetry.
For instance (I can't post links), so google "glove and boots Shakespeare" (without quotes). Phenomenal talents, these guys. |

Re: Good fantasy movies
The 80's were the golden age of this type. A few of these no doubt have been mentioned in this thread but here are a few off the top of my head from the 80's...
Red Sonja LadyHawke Krull Legend Conan the Barbarian Neverending Story Princess Bride Labrynth Dark Crystal (Netflix has now got a series to expand on this also) Time Bandits Excalibur Erik the Viking Sword and the Sorcerer Adventures of Baron Munchausen Willow The Secret of NIMH Sword of the Valient Black Cauldron Masters of the Universe |
Avoid Masters if the universe.
Unpopular opinion: I didn’t enjoy The Never Ending Story and Legend is incredibly overrated. The latter sparked an intense debate with my ex who swore by that film. She couldn’t believe I didn’t like it. 🤷 |

She couldn’t believe I didn’t like it. 🤷 I feel as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced ...as my horse, my lifelong companion and best friend just drowned in a lonely swamp of sadness ...while the last unicorn in all the world was captured, forced to watch, and was then beheaded for his horn by a goblin giving very strange and confusing feelings to a young boy of the late 80s through adulthood until just now understanding why, learning Blix was actually played by the female actress, Alice Playten, during a Google search to confirm a spelling. YOU DID THIS TO ME!!! *punts Baxter* |
Re: Good fantasy movies
Start with Terry Gilliam's fantasy:
Time Bandits (1981) Brazil (1985) The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) and The Imginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) Then, I would go to this list: Wizards (1977) The Fall (2006) Highlander (1986) The Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) and The Mummy (1999) |

Re: Good fantasy movies
Harry Potter of course, but you've probably already seen them. Pan's Labyrinth is fantastic.

Re: Good fantasy movies
No one mentioned Gaiman's "Mirrormask".. or "Coraline"
My daughter liked "Gormenghast" when she was younger. Its a mini-series but fits the allotted time for a long movie. |
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...jq416&usqp=CAU Red Sonja (1985) As there have been a few mentions of Conan we can't forget this. So bad it's good. |
