Star Wars for obvious reasons is not included, and I am hesitant on Indianna Jones films (I am a complete and total fan, and if the question was what should you have in your collection both would be there)
As for A Knights Tale being the worst film of the century that is inconceivable to quote another great movie from the list...opinions do vary I suppose, but even my comedy critical father liked it and that is saying something.
Goonies is a great movie, I love it a lot...that said I avoided it for the same reason as Indy, or Lara Croft or National Treasure or the Librarian, or ....etc those brands of adventure movies are for the most part good movies ( I own most of those listed). Out of them all Goonies is the most likely to make this list. I don't know maybe we should vote on each on to get the comprehensive list or something.
So to make ammends,
Top 50 Redux
Top 25 (for me)
1.Willow
Reason for inclusion: It is bar none one of the best examples of a fantasy gamers movie,
Its cast is fantastic.
2.Princess Bride
Reason for Inclusion: Do we even half to ask...my favorite character though is Miracle
Max.
3.Monty Python; Search for the Holy Grail
Reason for inclusion: Where'd you get those coconuts...
4.Legend
Reason for Inclusion: Riddly Scott, Billy Barty, among others and it was a great film, I
have actually seen this more times than I have seen Star Wars.
5.Red Sonja
Reason for inclusion: This is another of the more better examples of fantasy genre
movies. I loved it as a child and I love it still
