Fantasy Movies
« on: August 29, 2011, 13:11 »
Can you recommend me some good fantasy movies? Doesn't matter if it is "A" or "B" title.
I tried to Google something but I get only "AAA" titles like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter etc or some 60 years old movies but I would like to get some newer titles (like 15 years old max) with nice effects, colors, surroundings...

problem that films after 80s to LotR and HP are lacking of fantasy :-X

recommend older but gold classic Conan the Barbarian with Arnie ;) epic and very great movie
then Excalibur, best movie on Arthur and grail legend but still 1984 I think
if same theme try Merlin by Hallmark production its newer but nice and well made its 2 part film
and if you like Terry Pratchett and Discworld I recommend some movies based on his novels again made by Hallmark - Color of magic(2 parts) and Hog Father, its epic ;)

Im trying remember some others but even Im interesting in movies very well its too little fantasy :-X
if I remember more I add them here ;)

I remembered one more
Dragon Heart with Dennis Quaid and Sean Connery as dragon voise, filmed in Slovakia ;) very good movie

and one of my favourite is Pan's Labyrinth by del Torro(made Hellboy) very nice FXs and best story its so poetic and catchy and crucial as fantasy must be 100 recommended ;)

and if like cartoons and anime recommend movies like Spirited away and Princess Mononoke and Howls flying castle by Hayao Miyazaki best anime movies and fairytales ;)

hope I helped :D

If nothing, at least I tried ;D

know them but dont added them its not for mighty Astaroth good enough ;D,
Eragon is big mistake, bad movie in movie PoV
Compass and Bridge are nice but for smaller audience ;) but still if you need some relax or with G-friend nice evening, why not ;)
to these films add Star Dust, its very nice and good, based on Niel Gaiman(sandman and other great comics and books - one of the best fantasy and fairytales writer nowadays) theres De Niro in great role - recommended ;)

Yea, I figured some of them wouldn't be good, I didn't watch them all (yet) ;D

Btw, it would be nice to have overall "movies" topic here on offtopic :D To recommend movies, review etc... Just an idea :)

I can set it up and tell mods to have control over it and add movies and discuss and recommend cause as filmmaker I know and have to know a lot of movies from blockbusters to classic club films ;) ofc all can add other recommends or awful movies to beware of ;)
