I still have a soft spot for the recoloured version with (now) retro soundtrack. . .Metropolis: If you're looking for landmark pictures, this vision of a dystopian future by Fritz Lang is a must-have. It is in black-and-white and is silent, so don't expect sensational effects.
Meh.Has anyone mentioned Close Encounters of the Third Kind yet? Absolutely incredible movie!
They showed the episodes out of order on our local station -- which was pretty funny, if also disappointing. "Wait, they have 100 days left to save Earth? But they only had a few weeks left yesterday?"For TV Series I'd have to go with Starblazers or Robotech for introducing to many people the idea that an animated series can actually have a multi-season storyline with all of the plot and drama that you'd expect from a live action series. Before those two pretty much all animated shows were just a bunch of stand alone episodes that had nothing to do with each other. I remember running home from school and skipping my homework because the previous episode of Starblazers had left off with a cliffhanger and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Good times!
I don't have time for a Top 10 right now, but here's one essential: Forbidden Planet (the new-ish widescreen edition).
Funny thing is, there are some fantasy movies that are "must haves" that may not match your definition of "quality."
No fantasy collection is complete without Krull, Dragonslayer, Clash of the Titans, Conan (the first one), and Beastmaster (also the first one), but I wouldn't claim that all of those are necessarily "quality" movies.![]()
Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000
