https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65619 From urban fairytales to epic adventures, the fantasy genre is home to countless imaginative realms that exist in every possible time period. The real magic is the ability of these films to transport us into a different version of reality that can be charming, deadly, or a creative mixture of both. As our journey through this Hall of Fame begins, these are the quests our daring heroes have chosen to tackle: https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65721 Kwaidan / 怪談 (1964) Directed By: Masaki Kobayashi Nominated By: Siddon ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65723 Excalibur (1981) Directed By: John Boorman Nominated By: Citizen Rules ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65724 Dragonslayer (1981) Directed By: Matthew Robbins Nominated By: Wyldesyde19 ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65725 The Dark Crystal (1982) Directed By: Jim Henson, Frank Oz Nominated By: CosmicRunaway ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65983 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) Directed By: Steven Spielberg Nominated By: gbgoodies ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65726 Kiki's Delivery Service / 魔女の宅急便 (1989) Directed By: Hayao Miyazaki Nominated By: ahwell ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65727 DragonHeart (1996) Directed By: Rob Cohen Nominated By: edarsenal ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65728 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Directed By: Peter Jackson Nominated By: rauldc14 ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65729 Directed By: Peter Jackson Nominated By: HollowMan DISQUALIFIED ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65730 Tideland (2005) Directed By: Terry Gilliam Nominated By: pahaK ~*~ https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65946 La Belle et la Bête (2014) Directed By: Christophe Gans Nominated By: MovieGal ~*~ |
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
As always, absolutely BEAUTIFUL presentation Cosmic. I already have my nomination sent, super excited about this!!!!
|
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
Wow! Very stylish presentation, love the attention to details and the little extras too!
I'm in (of course:)) and I believe I have my nom picked out. It's solidly fantasy. I have a very unfantasy day of work:( But when the toil is done, I'll PM in my nom. Really looking forward to this HoF! |
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
If The Princess Bride isn't eligible, I might join. :p
Though I'm still not sure cause I don't know what kind of movies would be in this! |
She always has the most creative HOF openings. I have to think of a nom, but I have a long drive while I go to the Outer Banks for vacation with some friends this next week so that gives me plenty of time to think.
|
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
Screw work! I'm sending my nom in now:p
|
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
Looking over the lists, I actually surprisingly nominated something none of you have checked off yet!! (including neiba should he join). @Citizen Rules I sort of nominated this for you... you better like it:D ;)

Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
I'm very likely to join this one. I just need to figure out a fitting film (while I like fantasy as a genre, most of the films are actually trash). I have a few decent options already.

For real though, there are a lot of subpar fantasy films out there, but they often have their own charm and can be quite enjoyable to watch. I'm not going down that route for my own nomination, but I'm always happy to watch a B-grade sword and sorcery flick. |

Some of them still have their charms though, and I still watch them if I happen on a one I haven't seen before (I even rewatch the old ones at times). I won't nominate any of those either and I surely won't go with a children's film so I'm choosing from a rather small number of films :D

I'd like to join but where can I see a list of previous nominees/ winners? I can't see fantasy films among the speciality HoFs linked to in the introduction.

Thanks for the invite. I'm thinking about joining this HoF, but I'm on the fence because fantasy films can go in many different directions. I might wait until the reveal to decide, but I've been looking through some fantasy movie lists to try to choose a nom so I'll be ready if I decide to join. |
I probably won't join this, but I'll take a look once the nominations are revealed and may give it a shot if it looks promising.

Welcome aboard! If not, there's still plenty of time to come up with one. I don't have a nomination yet, though I've collected a number of films to watch over the next week, and have an additional 3-4 films in mind to fall back on if no one beats me to them. |
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
I sent in my nomination...its a rare find but for those who really know me, will know my nomination is my type of cinema.

Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
I just rewatched a possible nomination candidate. Now I just have to decide if it's fantasy enough. Such difficult decisions.
|
Out of the 8 confirmed nominations so far, our films span 5 decades, and 3 languages. There is a fully animated feature, an anthology, and an apparent preference for high fantasy.

Given that my Skyrim playthrough clocked in at over 300 hours, it unfortunately doesn't quite adhere to the 220 minute limit. :p

Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
Also, I sent in my nomination (as a spoiler, it's not a computer game).
|
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
I nominated Final Fantasy 7 and everyone must play through it
|
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
Original, or the remake?
|
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
Original!
|
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
I'll nominate the remake, even though I haven't played it, so we can definitively determine which version is better. :cool:
|
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
I think I'm just going to go with the first movie that came to mind when trying to decide what to nominate. It doesn't appear to be on any of the lists, so I can't check who else has definitely seen it. I imagine it'll be a rewatch for most, if not everyone though.

Friday can’t come soon enough.

Enjoy your HOF folks, as with all these things I shall just peek through the tiniest gap in the curtains from time to time to see what y'all are up to before I then slink back into the shadows. |
I'm not sure how much new interest we'll get over the course of the week, so I could change the reveal to this Wednesday instead of Friday. I'd still take late nominations until the 10th (as I would have with the originally posted reveal date).
Let me know what you guys would prefer. |

CR2 works. :cool:

Earlier the better for me lol

Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
I was expecting people to take longer to decide on nominations, which is why I set it for Friday at first. I guess a lot of you guys had films in mind already, or you're at least more decisive than I am haha.

Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
I'm going to have trouble deciding which mom to pick myself
|
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
Wednesday is fine with me for a reveal. Can't wait:p
|
Since there have been no objections, I'm officially moving the reveal date to Wednesday. Even though that's a holiday here, I don't get the day off, but I'll be able to post the nominations as soon as I get home from work.

Moms HoF? I thought we decided this was a Video Game HoF now. :p We'll do this Thunderdome style. Two HoFs enter, one HoF leaves. Place your bets now! https://www.movieforums.com/communit...chmentid=65697 |

Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
Strongly considering Harriett Winslow for my nomination.

Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
Easy to see where Ed's confuddlement sprang from - it's not all that unusual for there to be a bit of overlap between Fantasy and Moms for guys (even if it does generally occur to those slightly younger) ;)
For the record, if you need a tie-breaker I'm 100% voting for 'Moms that are game on video' :) |
Here are some teasers for tomorrow's reveal (which will likely happen around this time, assuming I'm not late getting off work).
The most recent film is 15 years old. The oldest film is 56 years old. The 1980s is our most popular decade with 4 films released that year. The 2000s is runner up with 3 films released that year. Two of the nominations were released the same year. Two of the nominations are from the same director. |

I've previously seen 7 of the nominations in their entirety, and part of 1. Most of these I haven't seen in over a decade or longer, so I don't mind that there are going to be so many repeat viewings for me. The other 2 are films I was already familiar with, one of which my roommates have owned on both VHS and DVD for some time now. I know why I haven't watched that one yet, but the other is by a director whose work I typically enjoy, so I'm not sure why I've put it off for so long. |
Re: The Fantasy Hall of Fame
This time tomorrow would be cool. I'd be around to see it

For example, we don't currently have any other films in that language, but we do have two other non-English films, though one of those has a popular dub that some may choose to watch instead of its native language release. So I couldn't really say "3 Foreign Language Films" without that qualifier about the dub. |

I didn't have a long list to choose from. There were like three, maybe four films I was thinking. In the end, I decided to go with perhaps the most divisive of them (plus it had some extra value I actually mentioned to CR2 when I sent in my nom - we'll see if I even have to explain myself). Oh, and I'm also interested in @MovieGal 's potential noms :D |

A few musing as I recover from horrendous sun burn:
I wanted to go with an older film as my nom, and one that *maybe* wasn’t seen by many. But outside of foreign films, which I confess I haven’t watched many when it comes to fantasy, I realized it was going to be hard to find one that was lesser known. I knew right away I wasn’t going with Conan, LoTR trilogy, The Hobbit Trilogy or the Harry Potter series. Nothing against those, as I actually enjoyed many of them, but I wanted to step outside of the box so to speak. There were a few I looked at but was confident someone would nominate them. Hoping I’m correct in that assumption. I’m really excited about the foreign films that might be nominated as a result. |

The Hobbit Trilogy as not very good. Really enjoyed the LoTR trilogy as a whole but agree the second one is the weakest of the 3. That really isn’t a slight though. I’ll go ahead and state what I almost nominated as I don’t think it will give anything away, but I almost went with Jason and The Argonauts, Clash of the Titans (original), and Krull. Decided against them. Also, there is a fantasy film for the life of me I can’t recall but it involved the heroes fighting a 3 headed hound very obviously based off of Cerberus around some stone building. Help? 😑 |
