Wizards – Ralph Bakshi's weird cartoon is half fantasy, half post-apocalyptic nightmare.Monty Python and the Holy Grail – The film that brought Monty Python to the big screen, this might be the most-quoted film of all time.Pan's Labyrinth – Haunting, dark, mysterious, a true mind-bending fairy tale.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – Many consider this the best of the Harry Potter movies.The Princess Bride – This list of fantasy films would be incomplete without this classic.Time Bandits – Terry Gilliam's weird and wonderful time travel fantasy.The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – Most agree this was the best of Peter Jackson's groundbreaking films that finally brought Tolkien to life in live-action.
#BEST MEDIEVAL FANTASY MOVIES MOVIE#
If there more than one film has been released with the same title – i.e. You have to choose one of the many titles and flavors: just The Return of the King, for example. So if you like The Lord of the Rings movies, don't just say The Lord of the Rings. You can nominate an entire series, but please list each film individually. And, to make this easier, we are looking for single movies, not series. If you disagree with someone else's classification during the nomination period, we invite you to comment. But without at least some boundaries, we'd have to include It's a Wonderful Life, which I love, but it ain't no fantasy. Nor do generic adventure films like Jurassic Park or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea or (to my mind, please disagree) The Wizard of Oz or Willy Wonka. Some films – take Heavy Metal or Krull – are SF/Fantasy hybrids. Some sci-fi might have magic, or fantasy might have technology some worlds that appear to be primarily based on swords-and-scorcery aren't necessarily purely "medieval-looking." For me, for a film to be fantasy in nature, there needs to be a swords and sorcery theme or milieu. Possibly tattooed.Obviously there will be cross-over and overlap. Tom’s soon recruited to help Master master Mother. A fight ensues with Bridges doing a lot of fast-moving sword fighting and extensively choreographed pummeling, though to think of it, there might have been a stunt double mentioned somewhere. As do some soldiers who apparently know nothing of Master Gregory’s prowess. A) and B) will take the rest of the movie to resolve.īack to the tavern. C) she can manage with the wave of her hand. With time on her hands, Mother intends to A) rule the world, B) punish Master Gregory for her imprisonment and C) fix up her mountain kingdom.
It comes early and is unfortunately not the thrilling, terrifying moment it’s meant to be.
#BEST MEDIEVAL FANTASY MOVIES PATCH#
as “The Last Apprentice.” There are 13, and the bits and pieces pulled to patch together this sketchy script by Charles Leavitt (“Blood Diamond”) and Steven Knight (with an Oscar nod for “Dirty Pretty Things”) do not do the series justice.Īny hopes that the film, like the books, would produce a string of successes were probably dashed when Moore in her dragon incarnation breaks free. The movie is based on John Delaney’s popular young adult novels, published in the U.S. And Bridges is saddled with an awful accent he never masters. Virtually every performance falls flat, aided no doubt by the vapid dialogue. Bodrov certainly knows his way around epics, as his excellent Oscar-nominated films “Mongol” and “Prisoner of the Mountains” attest. For acclaimed Russian director Sergei Bodrov, this foray into English-language filmmaking is a rare fail.
