all go to bed in good time tonight no
actually now because sometimes real life
just isn’t enough welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 fantasy
movies I know someone who would pay a
pretty price feel ahead just a hint
nothing attached for this list we’ve
looked at movies that encompass an
element of magic mysticism myth and
legend
there’s no sci-fi crossover though as
those films are for another list and
there’s no room for animation this is
live action only number 10 the Pirates
of the Caribbean franchise to start we
sail on the seven seas with Captain Jack
and a bunch of barmy Buccaneers Johnny
Depp plays out a defining role as
Sparrow what do you say the three che
and Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom
are the classiest
of cutthroats Elizabeth Swann and Will
Turner about the day we met do you
remember how could I forget this one
well how many times must I ask you to
call me Elizabeth the ocean can be an
outlandish place and with these films
all things piratey are particularly
weird but wonderful as well you guys
start putting them into ghost stories
you’re in one it’s black pearls
bootstraps and beards of every color and
fantastical family fun you will always
remember this is the day that you almost
caught captain
number nine willow comfortable a lot of
people would go to a lot of lengths to
save a baby but this guy takes it to
another level and another world which is
fast milk for this foolhardy baby the
eponymous willow is one part farmer two
parts budding magician with an epic
battle against the dark forces of Queen
Bab Merida becoming a version therapy
for this apprentice you be careful I
have a powerful sorcerer see this acorn
I’ll start at you in ten years stone he
proves more than just his mystical worth
however by combining cunning and courage
to protect the adopted child thanks the
films as inspirational as it is
incredible
number eight
Time Bandits at 8:00 is an adventure
encompassing all of time all of space
and all of everything else in between
a star-studded cast including John
Cleese and Sean Connery guides the
imaginative Kevin and an enthralled
audience through all the best bits of
history and the finest things in fantasy
hello I’m hood we have a band of dwarves
a mysterious map and an all-powerful
Supreme Being
Time Bandits is a movie that flickers
between the archetypal and the absurd
and turns it all awesome you wanna be
later this gang oh we agreed no leader
right so shut up do as I say number
seven the neverending story
this movie’s not as long as you might
expect it to be and if anything that’s a
shame never ending stories another tale
that turns the typical into the
impossible excuse me would it be all
right if I joined you this evening
bastions a bookworm with a wild
imagination the wind whistled through
the tops of ancient trees suddenly
something enormous crumbled when he
comes across a page-turner of epic
proportions
it’s a story he can’t put down and a
movie we can’t take our eyes away from
it’s medallion magnificence Rock biting
brilliance and a make-believe blow back
to everyone’s childhood number 6
labyrinth go back to your room play with
your toys and your costumes
forget about the baby David Bowie plays
a goblin king named Jairus who very
occasionally breaks into song
if that doesn’t constitute a first-rate
fantasy then we don’t know what does far
as I could go don’t try to win bear with
me when a young Jennifer Connelly wishes
away her brother she probably did not
see this coming labyrinth is amazing
magical meander through a realm of
make-believe
that’s as fun as it is downright freaky
I’ve just noticed your lovely jewels and
missing oh they are hoggle helps the bog
of eternal stench hinders and we all
hope for happily ever after
my precious thing
number five Pan’s Labyrinth part of the
beauty of the fantasy genre is its
flexibility and the diversity of film
possible
with Pan’s Labyrinth Guillermo del Toro
reimagines the imagination and his
version is a very dark place there are
fairies and fawns and familiar things
but there are also the strangest most
surreal of monsters
and everything is dosed in a spooky
shadow eNOS its eyeballs in your hands
and a funny feeling in your stomach the
most beautiful nightmare you’re ever
likely to have eaten – contours to
ponder get down low temperatures
number four the Princess Bride
next we swap the weird or the romantic
as you wish this princess packs a little
more punch than your average damsel in
distress but then this is not your
average fairy tale
buttercups the object of Wesley’s desire
but she’s also assumed to be trophy wife
of the dastardly Prince Humperdinck what
was that
there are kisses kidnappings and
killings almost as good goes against
evil and love goes against hate number
three The Wizard of Oz
well
taking third place is the forerunner for
this genre on film
when Dorothy sets off on the yellow
brick road she takes more than just toto
with her generation upon generation of
movie watchers have followed her journey
befriended her companions and some along
to her songs we’re not in Kansas anymore
nor are we anywhere close to planet
Earth it’s a realm of witches wizards
and ruby red slippers that picks apart
human consciousness and puts it all back
together again there’s no place like
home
there is no place like home
number two the Harry Potter franchise
he’s the boy who lived and lived and
lived this boy will be famous there will
be a child in that battle too doesn’t
know his name exactly Harry Potter
dominated cinema and general society for
the first decade of this century seven
books translated into eight films and
three child actors became international
superstars 36 counted them myself
Daniel Radcliffe Emma Watson and Rupert
Grint emerged as faces of a generation
and Hogwarts became the world all
muggles wished was real hmm
difficult very difficult plenty of
courage I see not a bad mind either
there’s talent it’s endlessly
imaginative but teasingly close to real
life as well a magical rethink of the
genre

few honorable mentions honan what is
best in life to crush your enemies see
them driven before you they hear a
lamentation of the women

a gold eggs for Easter it will
sweetheart East a hundred a day how do I
get the sort of boy well I could see one
day becoming Prince of Narnia behold the
sword of power
number one the Lord of the Rings
franchise
the story may have begun with the Hobbit
but it’s one ring to rule them all and
this trilogy does the same welcome to
Rivendell Frodo Baggins taking our
fantastical first place the Lord of the
Rings is unlike anything else on
middle-earth or our regular one
Frodo and Sam’s heroic journey is laced
with some of the finest characters ever
created
Gandalf Aragorn Arwen there are so many
faces and so many details it’s a wonder
that j.r.r tolkien z’ masterpiece could
have ever been captured so perfectly on
film the word epic doesn’t even do it
justice it’s like in the great stories
