watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
underrated fantasy films for this list
we’re looking at those magical movies
that weren’t appreciated in their day in
my absence I expect you to make it fit
for the Queen’s way off
maybe they bombed at the box office or
perhaps they were panned by critics or
maybe they’ve just been forgotten by
time whatever the reason these are the
fantasies that deserve your respect and
hopefully will end up as classics one
day ok everybody I want you to give mr.
thatch your undivided attention number
10 the gate a gate behind which the
demons wait what do you get when you mix
The Goonies with gremlins only the
craziest fantasy horror film ever made
she there these songs that tell you
about the whole ritual for opening the
gate we did it when a young boy
accidentally opens a portal to Hell in
his backyard he unleashes an angry army
of mini demons intent on bringing the
apocalypse they accidentally summon
demons who used to rule the universe to
come and take over the world
but this is the 80s and kids aren’t
gonna just sit still with a bunch of
monsters running around a sadly
forgotten fantasy gem the gate will
leave you gasping laughing and checking
under your bed for a long time
number nine the fountain death as an act
of creation similar in style to 2001 a
Space Odyssey this epic romance is a
sweeping study on the nature of death
death turns all to ash and thus death
freeze episode influenced by the book of
Genesis the fountain jumps between three
separate stories each set in a different
world at a different point in time
has been you however each story is
linked by a man’s desperate quest to
save the woman he loves from dying
clothes no there are options more than
just a love story this visual
masterpiece is the closest thing to a
spiritual experience you’ll ever find on
film
number eight the last unicorn unicorns I
thought they only existed fairytales
most people associate rankin/bass with
holiday specials but when they teamed up
with anime studio top craft the result
was this delightfully nostalgic eighties
flick complete with nightmare fuel
when a lone unicorn sets out to find the
rest of her kind
she’s accidentally transformed into a
woman Who am I why am I here why what is
it that I’m seeking in this strange
place with the fate of her kind in the
balance she must wrestle with human
emotions while facing cinemas scariest
bull

and Christopher Lee woman is right this
is one movie you won’t regret watching
have you done to me I’m a unicorn I’m a
unicorn number seven the witch’s
miserable Ricci

poor kid gets turned into a mouse with
Angelica Houston’s hair-raising
performance and Jim Henson’s visual
effects The Witches walks a fine line
between humour and horror okay who are
we kidding it’s downright terrifying Oh
fight it
number six The Adventures of Baron
Munchhausen he’s borrowing shells oh I
see director Terry Gilliam isn’t known
for his subtlety but The Adventures of
Baron Munchhausen makes the rest of his
films look restrained in comparison Hey

nobleman who travels across the universe
to save a small town from destruction
with their help raise the siege save the

floating head that looks a lot like
Robin Williams by buggy
I shall pray overhead does not need a
body to survive
I am omnipotent ha ha wild and full of
imagination Munchausen is Terry
Gilliam’s most elaborate tall tale this
nonsense at once
you sure are under arrest for spreading
all ridiculous tales at the time of a
Kuwait danger number five will oh I
nominate well even though George Lucas
and Ron Howard were at the helm this
light-hearted fantasy didn’t live up to
its blockbuster potential constraint
even Warwick Davis occasionally jokes
about the film’s failure and that’s too
bad because willow is absolutely
charming hey I will not be ignored when
a young dwarf and wannabe wizard
discovers an abandoned baby we’ll push
it downstream forget we ever saw it come
on he must keep the child safe from a
Wicked Queen and her evil minions give
