Worst. List. Ever.

Wow, that Fantasy list is atrocious.

What's so bad about that Fantasy list? I think it's very well put together myself. Pretty much all of those films are absolute classics.

Unless you equate "fantasy" with "swords-and-sorcery", I don't see how you could complain about that list.

Yeah the fantasy definition they use is broad; not just S&S. I'm ok with it, though surprised LotR made it to #2.

QFT.

I was suprised that they left out the Comedy genre'.

Saw part of this on TV the other night. NOW, I would like them to repeat this, but ignore everything before like 1990, or maybe even 1980. Only like 4 movies of the entire list would remain...

Okay, a few more than that. But I don't like how most of them are in the 40s and 50s. I'd never even heard of half the movies that they had in their lists and seen even less.

Definitely
Their definition of fantasy does not mesh with us gamers.

"It's a Wonderful Life"? Fantasy?

"King Kong"?

And by their own definitions, "Star Wars" should be listed in Fantasy, not Sci-Fi.

Plus "2001" is boring as all hell.

Plus "2001" is boring as all hell.

I love it and watch it about once a year or so (which more than I can say for most movies).

But yeah, that fantasy list was lame. . . BIG? Gimme a break!
