Fantasy movies

[MovieFreak322]

I love movies. But all my life I stuck to Comedy, Horror, and Action. I want to try Fantasy. Can anybody reccommend any good Fantasy movies?

[Rogue Program]

The Neverending Story is a good one.

[MovieFreak322]

What is it about?

[Boro]

a story that never ends...

[Oj]

From imdb.com:

"Pursued by bullies, dreamy Bastian, 10, flees into a used book store where a strange leather-bound volume attracts him. The owner warns him away from it, explaining that it is dangerous: once entering its world, the reader cannot escape. Bastian borrows the now irresistable book and hides in the school attic. He reads of a beautiful, doomed land named Fantasia, and a brave boy desperately anointed by the princess to stop its mysterious ongoing destruction. Drawn into young Atreyu's quest as with no other book, Bastian discovers astonished that the Fantasians hear Bastian scream and see Bastian in mirrors. Where is Fantasia, and where is he? Can Atreyu save Fantasia, or is the princess really summoning Bastian himself?"

I loved this movie as a kid. Really good fantasy.... at least it was to me then. Dunno what I'd think about it now. Willow and Clash of the Titans are two other good fantasies.

[MovieFreak322]

[jenna]

[HellaGood]

Does lord of the rings count?

[Boro]

[jenna]

drool, i love all of the above movies! except the dark crystal, it's too scary... the skeksies (sp?) *shudder*

[MovieFreak322]

Well I watched the first Lord of The Rings. I liked it but I thought it was too long. So I never saw the other 2. Everyone says they're so great and I don't wanna miss out on something that goes down in history like Nightmare on Elm St. or American Pie so I'm gonna rent all 3 one day and watch them.

^^ I hope that's a sick joke.

Of course LOTR is probably King of Fanasy movies. I like The Never Ending Story. Expecially the big flying dog, I always thought that was the cutest thing.

Princess Bride is a great fantasy film with lots of humor. I need to put that one on my DVD's to get list.

I know some one is going to say the Harry Potter movies.

Hail to the King, baby.

[jenna]

you may hear people critisize LotR a bit, but those movies are some damn good fantasy...

[MovieFreak322]

Yeah, I'm gonna check them out at Blockbuster.

[Drizzt240]

I'm shocked that you didn't see them in theaters.

[moviecub]

I would suggest the following films:
Willow
All 3 Harry Potter movies
The 10th Kingdom
Clash of The Titans (if ya like mythology)
Highlander (the first one)
Lord of The Rings Trilogy
Just Visiting
Thats all I can think of right now.
