Top Ten Fantasy Films
Dolph Lundgren Stars in the Action-Packed Sequel
Arriving on Blu-ray and DVD December 27
In this film, Granger is confronted with time travel, mythical creatures, and many more fantastical people and situations. This feature will explore our top ten films in the fantasy genre, including Clash of the Titans, The Neverending Story, and Highlander.
From horror-mastermind Uwe Boll (House of the Dead, Bloodrayne) comes the adrenaline-fueled next chapter in the epic action/adventure franchise, IN THE NAME OF THE KING 2: TWO WORLDS. Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables, Masters of the Universe) stars as Granger, a lethal, ex-Special Forces soldier who finds himself transported back to a mystical age of sorcery, dragons and savage hand-to-hand combat. This modern-day warrior has been summoned to defeat the forces of darkness and fulfill an ancient prophecy. But as he fights his way to the truth, Granger learns no one can be trusted -- and one wrong move could cost him not only his life, but the future of his world.
Highlander
Featuring a fantastic soundtrack from Queen, 1986’s Highlander is the tale of a group of immortals that must fight to the death until only one survives. The last immortal alive will receive supreme power over all mankind. Taking place over the course of 300 years, this action packed cult classic stars Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod/Russell Nash, Clancy Brown as The Kurgan, and Sean Connery as Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos RamÃrez.
Willow
1988’s Willow stars Warwick Davis as the titular character, and Val Kilmer as Madmartigan, a swordsman who helps Willow. The brainchild of Ron Howard and George Lucas, Willow is the tale of Willow, a Nelwyn (dwarf-like person) and conjurer, who finds a child that was prophesized to cause the downfall of the evil queen. With the help of Madmartigan, Willow is able to deliver the child to safety, and return home a hero.
The Neverending Story
The Neverending Story is a 1984 film adaptation of a German novel of the same name. In it, an unhappy boy is bullied by other kids and hides in a bookstore. There, the shopkeeper gives him a magic book, which allows the reader to become part of the magical story. Soon, he realizes that the characters in the story are aware of him, and that his imagination can help save the magical world and its inhabitants.
Dragonheart
Dragonheart is a 1996 film that stars Dennis Quaid, David Thewlis, and the voice of Sean Connery. Dragonheart is about a 10th century knight named Bowen (Quaid), who forms an alliance with the last remaining dragon, Draco (voiced by Connery), to perform staged dragon slayings in order to collect rewards. Together, they ultimately save their entire kingdom from the tyrannical rule of the evil King Einon (Thewlis).
Clash of the Titans (1981)
1981’s Clash of the Titans boasts an all-star cast, including Harry Hamlin, Maggie Smith, and Laurence Olivier. This film adaptation of the myth of Perseus showcases some stellar stop motion effects for many of the movie’s monsters and creatures, including Medusa and the Kraken. This campy classic is consistently considered a best in the fantasy film genre, and was even nominated for AFI’s Top 10 Fantasy Films list!
Big Fish
2003’s Big Fish was directed by Tim Burton and is based on a novel of the same name. With a fantastic cast, including Ewan McGregor, Marion Cotillard, Steve Buscemi, Danny DeVito and Helena Bonham Carter, Big Fish is the story of a dying man telling his son tall tales from his exciting life. His fantastic stories involve great characters, like witches, giants, Siamese twins and a bank robber, all depicted in typical Tim Burton style.
Time Bandits
Time Bandits is a 1981 film written and directed by Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam. In it, Kevin, a child with a huge imagination, goes on a time-traveling adventure with a group of treasure-hunting dwarves. The dwarves have "borrowed" a map to the universe's time holes from The Supreme Being, and they are on the run from him. Along the way, they meet cool historical and mythical figures, like Napoleon, Robin Hood and King Agamemnon.
The Princess Bride
Based on a novel of the same name, 1987’s The Princess Bride is, undoubtedly, a classic. Combing fantasy, adventure, romance and comedy, The Princess Bride is the story of Westley and his love interest, Buttercup. After Westley is lost at sea and believed to be dead, Buttercup is forced to marry the incorrigible Prince Humperdinck. Filled with swordfights, miracles and a six-fingered man, The Princess Bride is one of the greatest fantasy films of all time.
The Harry Potter Series
It’s been hard to escape the Harry Potter film series (and the novels on which it is based) over the past ten years. This wildly successful fantasy series follows the wizard Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends, Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), as they go up against the evil villain, Lord Voldemort. Spanning eight films, this series features countless mythical creatures, potions, flying broomsticks and magical spells.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
2009’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was one of Heath Ledger’s last film roles before his untimely death. The film takes place in modern day London, where a theater troupe promises their audience a chance to have their dreams come true within the mystical “Imaginarium.” Tony (Ledger), on the run from the Russians, joins the group and falls for Doctor Parnassus’ daughter, Valentina. However, the demons of his past come back to haunt him within the Imaginarium.
