Best/Worst Fantasy Films

Yep, it looks good. We've got a thread about it already, though:

Oh thankyou little green one. Just reading about the other fantasy films brought RoF to mind... moseying along then.

I'll get me coat.

Yeah I can see where your comin from...That whole outfit makes her look funny and not just on the cover. I love the chainmail though. Again, I have not seen the movie but I have looked at the pictures over and over :sigh:

Come on guys, what's wrong with Labyrinth? Granted some of the characters are annoying (cough) Didymus (cough), but its a kids movie for garsh sakes. And a damn good one! You can't beat the sexual tension between Jareth and Sarah. And it has David Bowie singing! I haven't seen Dark Crystal yet but I am pretty confident with siding with Holden. What does DC have that Labyrinth doesn't? And I changed my mind about Harry Potter (the movie)--it aint that bad....

Holden said it's The Labyrinth. So, get it right.

My best fantasy is to be Betty Boop.

Now, check out my new avatar. Dreams do come true.

Whaddya think, Sadie lady?

I smell trouble.

I think you should piss off.

Told ya'.

I'm serious.

I know. It's still funny, though.

Well, hello, Serious. Is your first name Yahoo?!

I'm Betty Boop.

Reign of fire isnt fantasy its actually post-apocalyptic. There arent enough good post apocalyptic movies that come out nowadays. I love that setting.

anyone else familiar with movies of this or this other genre called Cyberpunk. Its one of my favorite. The only cyberpunk movie i can think of is Bladerunner. But theres lots of rpg's like Shadowrun and final fantasy 7 was also in this setting.

At least I didn't spell it Labyrnth....I think I will just call it Laby for short

You wish. You smell like a man in Betty's clothing; not attractive, Jason.

Mmmm.... the musk of a transvestite. Calgon, take me away!

Well, anything based off of a William Gibson story... which I guess is only one: Johnny Mnemonic. He did a couple of episodes of the X-Files, too.

If you like cyberpunk, it's better represented in fiction, I think. Mr. Gibson is a good place to start, although I'm probably just telling you something you already know.

Other "cyberpunk" films: Mad Max, Escape from New York, Tank Girl, Twelve Monkeys and the Omega Man.

Heh heh heh - looking at it, that would make a good film
"12 monkeys and the omega man"

Just thought of more cyberpunk films (these ones are ****e though): Waterworld, the Postman, Barbed Wire.

I dunno... Waterworld and the Postman? Those are post-apocalyptic, sure, but not cyberpunk. There's no real "technology" in either one of those movies.

And technically speaking, so to speak , "cyberpunk" as a genre almost always requires a sort of melding of technology with society/culture/humanity. The Matrix is a good example of contemporary cyberpunk. Even, though it gags me to say it, Hackers (in style, if not in substance).

EDIT: Forgot anime--lots of Japanamation has cyberpunk elements (Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Armitage III, etc.).

Ghost in the Shell.
Ahhhhhh....yeeeeeeah.
