Title: Best Fantasy Movies of Recent Times
Post by: gilshem ironstone on September 12, 2013, 04:51:21 PM

Hey All,I am looking for a good movie in a fantasy setting that has come out lately.  I have watched the obvious choices (e.g. Hobbit, Harry Potter, etc..)  Any other suggestions?

I will think of some and tell you!  ATM I'm drawing a blank, despite loving the genre and hunting them all down

Did you see the one that is sort of like seven samurai but with Templars?  Was that any good?

Title: Not super recent, but Willow

Not super recent, but Willow is the best movie ever made in my opinion.

Title: How about the various

How about the various animated works of Studio Ghibli? Howls Moving Castle is a great fantasy world movie. And many others are mostly based on earth but with a fantasy twist to things. Other Ghibli works I'd reccomend, Nausica, Princess Mononoke, Kikis Delivery Service, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Ponyo, Secret World of Ariety.

 

Title: IMHO, Stardust is the best

IMHO, Stardust is the best fantasy movie made in recent memory.

I have Canadian Netflix, which is code for "poor library".  I will poke around for it, but I won't hold my breath.

G452-I do have to watch some of those anime's.  I have heard such good things.  I have not really watch anime since Urosokidoji; I must have been traumatized.

The name of the Templar movie is "Ironclad".  I started watching it and depsite having Paul Giamatti and James Purefoy, it was pretty bad.  Obvious story that is not well-earned and mediocre action they try to bolster with gore.

I might re-watch Willow soon.  It has been years since I watched it.

Hey Gil. 

Don't worry I have Mexican Netflix, and even if i am dissapointed at what i expected to find there, ironically the series is there, sadly only 3 of the five seasons are there, its kind of old series , so guess you may find it,  Its "The adventures of Merlin" the one that i am talking about,  Not sure if that is the one that milty was refering to.
