Your Top 10 Fantasy Movies

[Tonguez]

2) Legend


7) Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

And for the final 3? 3 I bet won't appear on many other lists;

8) Aladdin (Disney, animated)
9) Cinderella (Disney, Live-action)
10) Sleeping Beauty (Disney, animated, 1959)

I decided to leave animated movies off (even though puppets were in as per Dark Crystal) but agree that both Sleeping Beauty and Aladdin should rank among the best Fantasy movies. I'd also include Fantasia in the list due to it giving me nightmares and Little Mermaid as a personal favourite

and Legend? the Tim Cruise, Tim Curry outing? -really? I was soooo disappointed with that movie and does Robin Hood count as fantasy?

Tim Curry as the Darkness was the best thing about Legend. Despite Ridley Scott amazing visuals (as usual), the movie was a bit of a slow moving bore.

And yeah, I wouldn't count Robin Hood Prince of Thieves as a fantasy film, unless there was some magical reason why Robin Hood is an American.

Yes, clearly there were better Robin Hoods.

Though I think Fellowship of the Ring is a better movie, I’d say that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the more faithful adaptation.

My top ten would be similar to most of the ones already here, but the #1 slot will always belong to The Dark Crystal. It's so magical and wondrous, not to mention the art and craft that went into bringing the world to life.

 

[Ryujin]

My top two would be "The Princess Bride" and "Stardust", then there are literally hundreds after those two.

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

On the converse, though, I will always have a soft-spot for low-rent 80s sword and sorcery flicks like the Sword and the Sorcerer and the Deathstalker series. Would they crack a top ten list? Not a chance. Will I watch them? Most assuredly.

I mostly suck at top ten lists, and since everybody else already cleared out most of what my actual top ten would have been, what I figured I'd do is list my top fantasy movies that I didn't see on anyone else's list.
