A really cool list, by the way! 8)

These are ones I am thinking of not on the list that I'd classify as Fantasy Movies:

Some are after 2009.

Clash of the Titans 1981
Clash of the Titans 2010
Season of the Witch 2011
Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn 2008
Beowulf 2007

The Hobbit is coming. Conan this year. What about that movie with Dragons with Christian Bale and Matthew McCaugnahey[sp] - Ring? When I think of more movies I'll put em here!

Good list, some childhood favorites. I never saw the new Clash of the Titans movie. The first Beast Master was great, but they got pretty bad after that. The last one was more or less Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. I got into the first 2 Hercules made-for-TV movies because at the time fantasy movies seemed so rare, much less on TV. But after a while they got too bad, even for me.

I remember some flicks that don't really qualify as fantasy but have some elements: The Princess Bride, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Eric the Viking, Time Bandits

I also didn't particularly like the D&D movie.

Wow this list makes me feel old

You said it, man! Some of your list, amen to those movies. My wife quotes the Princess Bride by heart, for pete's sake. Hey you can't lose with Andre the Giant in your movie!

Thanks for adding these! Keep them coming. I will update my list ASAP. I think Mathew- who made the original list may have avoided mythology films, but there is no reason for us to do that. They are pretty much fantasy movies as far as I see it.

Princess Bride, Dark Crystal and Labyrinth are definately fantasy movies. Not sure about Eric the Viking and Time Bandits? I havent seen Muchausen...

Agreed. Ancient. :oops:

Updated and revised this list quite a bit and added lots of movies.

Were the 1990s really such a bad decade for fantasy movies?
