Helltown Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Technically, Alien and Aliens are Science Fiction but they're still pretty good movies As far as my own favorite fantasy movies go...

Qwyksilver Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 ...and Ladyhawke! I think half the thieves I made in the mid 80's were based on Mouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganm Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 The Alien anthology is sci-fi, true, but sci-fi and fantasy go hand in hand; feel free to include them here! :) AH I totally forgot about Beast Master, Ladyhawke, and The Never Ending Story! Another to add: Legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimp Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The Alien anthology is sci-fi, true, but sci-fi and fantasy go hand in hand; feel free to include them here! :) Especially appropriate when so much sci-fi is more sci-fantasy than sci-fi. A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned, but also Any of the old Ray Harryhausen flicks: Jason and the Argonauts was mentioned The 7th Voyage of Sinbad Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger The Golden Voyage of Sinbad There are sets of some of the Harryhausen fantasy stories, and another of his sci-fi stuff that are pretty good deals (my wife got me the fantasy set, but we don't have the sci-fi stuff yet) King Kong Mysterious Island Journey to the Center of the Earth 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Wizards Army of Darkness (too much comedy for me to class it as horror) Clash of the Titans Big Trouble in Little China Flash Gordan (Max von Sydow rocks as Ming) Red Sonja Trancers IV & V (sci-fi meets fantasy) Sword and the Sorceror (so bad it was good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOldcorn Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 A couple of old ones that I love even though they are not that good Krull Hawk the Slayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madog Barfog Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Let me pull one out of left field: Rankin & Bass' Return of the King. On a more serious note, their Hobbit deserves mention. Excalibur & MP&tHG are also musts. Wait - hold - on, wait for it - this pushes the acceptability factor: Knightriders, starring Ed Harris. LOL!

Spike Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Excalibur is fantasy? Heck, I always thought it was a documentary! Does Bedknobs and Broomsticks also count as fantasy? Even if it don't, I that movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimp Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Bedknobs and Broomsticks vs Kroid from Reich of the Dead? Could be fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
