Top 100 Fantasy Movies
by jzerenidis | created - 28 Mar 2021 | updated - 14 hours ago | PublicBest 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.
