Top 100 Fantasy Movies

by jzerenidis • Created 4 years ago • Modified 1 year ago
Best Fantasy Movies of All Time
Movies with fantasy plot in any form (drama, crime, mystery, adventure, science fiction, art-house, comedies, e.t.c.). I rank this list based on how well the movie represents the fantasy genre over other genres.

Definition: Fantasy films are films with fantastic themes, usually magic, supernatural events, mythology, folklore, or exotic fantasy worlds. The genre is considered a form of speculative fiction alongside science fiction films and horror films, although the genres do overlap. Fantasy films often have an element of magic, myth, wonder, escapism, and the extraordinary.

Essential / Must-see / Genre-defying: fantasy movies:
  • Nosferatu (1922)
  • The Wizard of Oz (1939)
  • Scrooge (1951)
  • Mary Poppins (1964)
  • The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring (2001)
