What is best Fantasy movie - not LOTR?

[nilzark]

Hard to pick, is it not? Krull, Dark Krystal anyone?

[Kayso]

Two old ones that come to mind:

Willow
Time Bandits

[nilzark]

Willow. Good one.http://www.moviemarket.com/library/photos/277/27721.jpg

[Millburn]

Legend (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089469/)

[nilzark]

Legend, with Tom Cruise - another good one.http://images3.cinema.de/imedia/8288/2328288,mjlsRXSN4x86MWJwHRKBqfDURfYxV_y7nnYGBzdnT0 R+CslGxWUiU0buAB4vkKKZ_Y_G7SGC1csBlRG_nSOviw==.jpg http://www.heromachine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/legend.jpg

[Sidelle]

Krull and Neverending Story off the top of my head..

[Kayso]

I'm not a Tom Cruise fan for the most part, but I agree Legend is a good call.

[BahamutDF]

Stardust
Pans labyrinth
Cloud atlas

[Sidelle]

Beastmaster
Red Sonja
The Bride

[Kayso]

Beastmaster is another fave. Best part is from 17:10 to 17:45:

Dar's dad with all that dramatic staring and the drawing of the line with the sword... Only to die without doing any damage. He should have just walked out there with his dick in his hand. Same result.

[Sidelle]

Hahaha! Just watched that clip. :D

[Kayso]

Dragonslayer

Disney movie that was on HBO all the time around 1982. I remember it being good, but I also remember it showed a naked boob (singular as I recall). I was in middle school at the time, so rather it was a good movie or a good boob is probably debatable.

legend had it all the original fantasy movie

If you're into anime, a great fantasy series is Record of Lodoss War (which has a spin-off second series, Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight and another great series Legend of Crystania). My favorite fantasy anime by far. So many awesome heroes/characters. Also, Princess Mononoke & Spirited Away are great 'fantasy' anime as well.

Other worthy mentions (some already stated); Legend, Willow, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Neverending Story, Princess Bride, Harry Potter etc.

Also could try some games that have great fantasy themes represented in phenomenal cinematics; Warcraft 3 series, Heroes of Might and Magic V/VI, Dragon Age: Origins, Final Fantasy series (VII, IX, XII etc), Xenosaga (more scifi'sh) etc.

If you like books check out; Wheel of Time Series, Sword of Truth Series and A Song of Fire and Ice.

my favorite fantasy movie is howl's moving castle.


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347149/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_10

anything by studio ghibli and/or written by miyazaki is gold though.

oh howls moving castle is one of my favorite stories. Studio ghibli has put out some gold over the year.

I think princess mononoke ties in with our fantasy thread. I think that was my favorite miyazaki followed closely by howls moving castle or nausicaa

[MrSparkle001]

There is only one correct answer.

Highlander, There can only be one!

[nilzark]

Yea, going to have to go with Conan on this one.http://damanizayas.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/conan.jpg

[Kasyra]

the original Clash of the Titans, or Jason and the Argonauts.

What is best in life? (http://youtu.be/6PQ6335puOc)

[mnemonikos82]

Have to agree with Willow, Labyrinth, Krull, Stardust, Conan (What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.)

Anywho... Dragonslayer... Legend is BOSS, god I love me some Tim Curry.

Couple that haven't been mentioned:
Flight of Dragons
Dragonheart
Eragon (was actually terrible, but if you like the books... why not)
Princess Bride

[Anderdale]

Fire and Ice

[San]

Willow
Excalibur
Highlander
Conan the Barbarian
Krull
The Road Warrior

All were favorites of mine, but would pick Willow if had to choose one.

[Greegon]

stargate all day

stargate ALL DAY

[Swish]

We had "Willow" promotional stuff in the UK in packs of tea bags... weird shit.

[Lamil]

Everyone knows the Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the greatest fantasy movie of all time.

[Juhstin]

Time Bandits

BEST. MOVIE. EVER.
