What other fantasy movies do you like? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lalaith · 02-22-2005, 12:49 PM

Yes, indeed: Princess Bride, Spirited Away, the BBC Gormenghast (it didn't get particularly good reviews when it was shown in the UK, but I loved it. Never read the books but really feel I should)

Query - has the Earthsea Quartet been filmed? Can anyone supply more info?

But the greatest ever fantasy film has to be the Wizard of Oz, surely...

Also amazingly amusing is Robin Hood: Men in Tights. A Brooks take on the story. And if we are allowed to include SciFi, then I must mention Spaceballs.

And if TV shows count... Animorphs. I read all the books and watched the TV show, only to have it taken off the air.. *sigh*

I don't believe it has. But when someone does it, I'll be the first one in line.

Not sure whether this is what you're talking about... Earthsea at IMDb.

How could I?

I forgot to mention the Narnia movies I really like them and I hope the new version of the Lion,the witch and the wardrobe that is being filmed right now will live up to the old one that was made.

Plus of course the Harry Potter movies.

I also love Robin Hood and the men in tights. Its one of my favourites!

Was that Robin Hood, and the Mel Brooks version, or do you mean one movie? I like the 50's version with Errol Flynn and the 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' version with Kevin Costner.

And Mel Brooks lost something after making 'History of the World' or I got too old.

I meant the one by Mel Brooks.

History of the World Part One is also a favourite of mine but its not fantasy.
