[Kris P Lettus]

Def checking out Dragonslayer, Excalibur, Wizards..

Love Masters of the Universe..

[Jon Kano]

Seen half of STARDUST, and I knew when I saw the trailer I would love it, so:

Stardust
Fern Gully
Wizard of Oz
Brazil
Alice In Wonderland
King Kong (2005)

These two....fucking loved them but none remembers them.

Solar Babies - A group of kids on rollerskates who find this glowing orb and try to escape. Awsome classic.

The Quest / Frog Dreaming - Had the kid who was Elliot in ET as this kid who would go off and investigate this lake and what lies beneath it.

[Jon Kano]

And that Star Wars/Ewok spinoff film, anyone remember that? Where that rebel fighter and his kid sister crash land on Endor and theres like a massive troll out to get them. Probably the Rebel fighter Luke shot down right before the Death Star attack in A New Hope.

[Kane Knight]

I own both Never Ending Story I and II.. Jack Black is in number two LOL..

He was in 3, wasn't he?

Since most of the 80s Henson cult flicks have been mentioned, Return to Oz. The original should have been done like this, too.

First Knight

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

[Jon Kano]

Yeah RTO was awesome.

KK how is RH:POT a fantasy?

[Kane Knight]

You questioned PoT but not First Knight? May I ask why?

[Splaya]

You gonna count Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children?

[ClockShot]

Does Merlin count?

Also. Pan's Labyrinth.

[PapaGeorgio]

Howard the Duck

[RBM]

Flight of the navigator

The Goonies

Monster Squad

I don't care if they don't fit into your fantasy mold, listing all the movies you guys did was like one giant nostalgic punch in the face and these 3 should be thrown in.

[Kane Knight]

Baron Munchausen.

[Kris P Lettus]

Pan's Labyrinth.

Comes out Tuesday..

Can't f'n wait..

[Reavant]

Is Star Wars not a fantasy movie?

[Kris P Lettus]

When I think of "fantasy" I think more of LOTR-ish shit.. Not really Sci-Fi..

[Jon Kano]

You questioned PoT but not First Knight? May I ask why?

Maybe because FK is? The whole fantasy idea that it could be deemed worthy to watch, or be considered a film anyway.

LOL I dunno, guess because I have never seen it, and although I would say its not a fantasy movie, I didn't wanna say it wasn't in case. I thought maybe it had stuff with Merlin, Excalibur or whatever.

Robin Hood and King Arthur are always fantasy. Even the movie Arthur is fantasy, though as lacking in Wizardry as it is in historical accuracy, good acting, and so on.

They're both based on romantic legends which fit very much into the fantasy genre. Besides, an evil witch, a black "prince," and big explosions in a period piece?

Yeah, fantasy.

The most "fantastic" thing about FK is that it's got a city (Camelot) which could not have existed. No magic, it's a drama about Lancelot, and while I don't remember if Merlin was a part of it, I do know magic wasn't.

[Kane Knight]

People blur that line all the time.

[Jon Kano]

I would suggest the 'Witch' in RH is an overboard representation of a gypsy or whatnot. Supposed 'witches', voodoo doctors, high priests of haiti, they are real, or at least are part of this reality.

Gun powder and other assorted materials alike could've/can and do cause explosions.

African tribes and foreign lands had/still have monarchy.

Robin Hood is more folklore/historical than fantasy imo. Its a simple love story with the whole, a single man with nothing rises above the bad (rich) and steals from them and gives to the good/poor.

[Kane Knight]

Naw. She was an English witch.

Gypsies are nothing like that.

Gunpowder of the period was anachronistic in the West.

The "Black Prince" I was speaking of was the Sherriff. That's why I used the quotes. He's filling the fantasy role of the evil brother. In fact, in this, he was filling in for Prince John.

It's a folklore story, but then...So's King Arthur.

In any sense, it's not horribly worth arguing over. It's low fantasy, as opposed to high fantasy (Tolkien, Oz, etc.). If you don't weant to count it, fine.

[DaveWadding]

Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

[El Fangel]

Dungeons and Dragons :shifty:

[Kane Knight]

Dungeons and Dragons :shifty:

I hear the second one (Not related to the first one) is actually good.

And for Narnia, the BBC versions have shitty effects, but are enjoyable.

[Boondock Saint]

I haven't seen it, but it seems that Eragon would fit here...

[Jon Kano]

And, in turn Dragonheart.

Looking back on all of these, I gotta say, I think Willow would be my fave.

[Boondock Saint]

Willow rules. Madmartigan is the man.

[ct2k]

Dark City

[Kane Knight]

I haven't seen it, but it seems that Eragon would fit here...

Best Fantasy Movie list? That movie was insulting to the intelligence of Hero's 10 year old daughter. :p

Anyway, I'm not really sure it qualifies, but the Black Cauldron is high fantasy, based on a book series. It has swords that are magic and an evil wizard (Really, he's the devil) and fantastic creatures.

I don't much like the movie compared to the books, but mostly because they made Tarran Luke Skywalker.

It's also based on a folktale, like King Arthur and Robin Hood.

[Kris P Lettus]

Yes, I own the Black Cauldron..

Dude in the thread when it was coming out you was bigging the movie up.

[Kane Knight]

You need to learn how to read.

[Jon Kano]

Yeah my mistake, it was the book you were talking about.

[Kane Knight]

Which makes sense, as I was praising before the movie came out, and all.
