Greatest Fantasy Movies Of All Time

Post by Lew »

Criteria: This list includes films that contain 'unreal' earthly (or heavenly) locations, 'supernatural' human powers (Superheroes), and 'supernatural' entities (angels, wizards, ghosts, dragons, witches...) This list does NOT include Animated, Horror-Fantasy, or Science Fiction-Fantasy movies. These films were NOT chosen for how highly rated they are overall, but how they rate in the subject of "Fantasy Movie".
