BP's list of 100 good or decent fantasy movies: we done (1 Viewer)

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

61. Army of Darkness

BP says: Breaking my own rule here but I just really enjoy this cult classic. It has Wizards and it takes place in a different world so not sure why it's listed as just a comedy/horror? but this is my list and I can do what I want! We've probably all seen this at this point but if you haven't you should. It's campy and just a fun goofy movie so don't go into it expecting Schindler's List. It's possible that I just like Bruce Campbell way too much but I've liked him in pretty much everything including but not limited to the excellent Ash vs. Evil Dead.

64. Troll Hunter

BP says: Thought this was a neat little film. Very enjoyable.

Remember being pleasantly surprised by this one.

63. The Beastmaster

BP says: My first time seeing this. I really enjoyed it and Tanya Roberts doesn't hurt. Thought the leads both did well.

We in the top 5 already?

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

beastmaster is top 5? not even score had it that high

 

[Scoresman]

60. Rare Exports

BP says: Such a neat little movie.

Great Christmas movie here.

63. The Beastmaster

BP says: My first time seeing this. I really enjoyed it and Tanya Roberts doesn't hurt. Thought the leads both did well.

We in the top 5 already?

I would have to assume he meant to put 6 minus 3 instead of 63

59.Shrek

BP says: Hey, It's the cartoon version of Ladyhawke! (or at least they borrow the whole curse that turns you into X, which Ladyhawke likely borrowed from something else) I feel so proud knowing that.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

58. Brave

BP says: I thought it was a cute/sweet little movie but I guess that's pretty much the entire Disney/Pixar m.o. Don't judge me for liking kids movies.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

57. Abominable

BP says: See above except Dreamworks.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

56. Tangled

BP says: I liked this one too! Very enjoyable family film.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I’m starting to feel likes we’re being trolled here

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

55. Batman Returns

BP says: One of the better not Christopher Nolan Batman films.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

I’m starting to feel likes we’re being trolled here

no, I just have bad taste

 

[Osaurus]

55. Batman Returns

BP says: One of the better not Christopher Nolan Batman films.

Can’t go wrong with this one imo.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

54. Christopher Robin

BP says:I really like Ewan McGregor here and thus enjoyed it.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

53. Elf

BP says: The first time I saw this I didn't really like it but I watched it again 2 years ago and thought it was great.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

52.Wristcutters: A Love Story

BP says:Really enjoyed this indie film.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

51. How to Train Your Dragon

BP says: Another enjoyable family film. The first one is the best but I can't say I dislike any of them that much.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

50. The Good Dinosaur

BP says: Nearly done with sentimental Disney stuff, so just hang in there.

 

[Joe Schmo]

Joe Schmo says: BP's list is better than the cheese list but lesser than the bread list and more consistent than the Scoresman list. On par with the Tim lists however.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

I mean, Bread is delicious

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

49.The Super Mario Bros. Movie

BP says: Just a fun enjoyable movie. Likely deserved to be on this list just for being better than this but probably not hard to be better than that.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

48. Legend

BP says: Admittedly I'm a big Curry fan so there is the possibility that his performance has this unfairly weighted in my mind. I KNOW that I saw this when I was much younger but I didn't really remember it that much so I rewatched it and I still thought it was pretty good. Aesthetically pleasing.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

47. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

BP says: Really found this enjoyable.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

46. Charlotte's Web

BP says: I'm going to go ahead and count this as fantasy even though IMDB does NOT list this one as fantasy. They DO list the 2006 remake as fantasy. What's the difference? I don't know. Also, I just wanted to share a sweet little story.

It is a good story, of course, which is why it's a beloved children's classic but it's a little special to me. So my girlfriend (now wife) was going to have a test on this book for her children's lit class. She's an elementary school teacher. So the night before the test she called me and told me about it. I assume she read the book but there were some things she didn't know/forgot. So being the great boyfriend that I am, I spent about 4 hours reading and googling Charlotte's Web.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

45. Pleasantville

BP says: I enjoyed this. I found it very...pleasant.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

44.Tale of Tales

BP says: I think this is a pretty interesting film. I thought I had watched this but just to be sure I watched it again so luckily my memory is still intact. I could see why people might not like it since it's just just 3 very loosely interconnected stories. It's pretty bleak and bare bones in a way but I think most if not all of the IFC films are like that. You could find worse ways to spend 2 hours.

 

[El Floppo]

45. Pleasantville

BP says: I enjoyed this. I found it very...pleasant.

This was a good one... Always forget about it.

I commend you for coming up with a list of movies.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

43. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

BP says: I just think it's a good movie and it's a classic for a reason. I had wanted to watch Blancanieves (never heard of it until now) and decide which is better but it's not free on amazon and I didn't really want to download this ITV thing.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

42. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

BP says: When I was a kid I watched these and loved them. I rented them multiple times from Blockbuster. This one is really good too. The other ones are not so good.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

41. Love and Monsters

BP says: I think this is such a great little flick. I am not 100% sure but I had thought that it was a sequel to Monsters or at least set in the same universe.

Great mocumentary depicting every day life in Australia.

This was surprisingly fun

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

40.The NeverEnding Story

BP says: Nice little kids movie.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

39. Avatar

BP says: It's not bad but its claim to fame is its visuals and I don't think a movie can stand alone on that.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

38. Beetlejuice

BP says: I really like Keaton as an actor. I think this movie is just fun and quirky.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

37. How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

BP says: Such an iconic Christmas movie. Not sure you can go wrong with Boris Karloff and Dr. Seuss.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

36.Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

BP says: It was nominated for best picture for a reason. A great mesmerizing film.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

35. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

BP says: Another Christmas film that I think is iconic.

35. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

BP says: Another Christmas film that I think is iconic.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

34. Willow

BP says: Really likeable. Slightly unrelated but I watched a Warwick Davis documentary and enjoyed that. Anyways, I really liked this this it's one of the better 80's fantasy movies.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

33. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

BP says: A movie based on a themepark ride that spawned a movie franchise that made nearly 8 billion, who'd of thunk it? I liked this one a lot, the sequels not so much. I like Depp in a lot of things and I think he's great here too.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

32. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

BP says: It's just really fun and well made. Has some nice emotional bits.

 

[Ilov80s]

36.Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

BP says: It was nominated for best picture for a reason. A great mesmerizing film.

I hadn’t thought of this one but pretty crazy it didn’t crack the original 100

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

You mean scoremans list? He only did 26 fantasy movies

 

[Dr. Octopus]

37. How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

BP says: Such an iconic Christmas movie. Not sure you can go wrong with Boris Karloff and Dr. Seuss.

35. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

BP says: Another Christmas film that I think is iconic.

Forget it, he’s rolling.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

31. Stardust

BP says: This was my first time watching this and at first I didn't really like it. My thoughts were that it wasn't as good as Princess Bride (and yes it borrows heavily or at least I thought so) but as the movie went along I started to enjoy it more. Initially, I had this higher on my list but after doing some rethinking maybe it's not a top 20 fantasy, I don't know but still worth a watch.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

If I had done a better job I think I would have put Ugetsu in my 50's or something. It's a heavier movie than most fantasy which is why I think it ranks so highly. So while I do think it's worth watching it's not the most enjoyable movie for me.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

30. The Green Knight

BP says: A bit of a slow burn and at times I felt like this was a slog to get through but it was enjoyable enough that I didn't mind.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

29. Stranger Than Fiction

BP says: Really enjoyed this one. Will Ferrell is great.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

28. Being John Malkovich

BP says: I think John Cusack is a bit of an underrated actor. A bit of a wild ride, this one.
