Fantasy has always been a go to for Hollywood, and with good reason. Creating interesting worlds and fantastical characters has a ton of appeal, thanks in no small part to the heightened level of escapism it provides audiences. With the release this week of Duncan Jones’ Warcraft, we thought we would take a look back at the best fantasy films that cinema has to offer.
To make it onto this list, there has to be some sort of magical element added to the story, or an entirely new world created just for the film. It can’t just be an alternate version of our reality. Think more sword and sorcerer, as opposed to different dimension. If there are trolls, dragons, or nasty witches involved — or even all three — then all the better.
Here is Screen Rant’s take on the Best Fantasy Movies Of All Time:
