Can you recommend me good fantasy movies?
I love Conan just as much as LotR, I'm not really picky as long as it's good fantasy.

A few years ago, while staying up late and watching TV (I don't have a life lol), I discovered a wonderful movie called Flesh & Blood. I've always been fond of movies set in the medieval era. I've watched it three times, and I'd cheerfully watch it again.

Toodles and good luck on your quest to find grrrrr-eat fantasy movies!

Troy isn't great but it's good fun.

Can it be set in the real world (Neverending Story, etc)? If so, you definitely want to check out The Gate. That movie is awesome.

... why would you even suggest that ?

some of my older fantasy favorites are:

Hawk the Slayer
Excalibur
Krull
Beowulf
The Dark Crystal
Fire and Ice
Black Cauldron

>>48613884
Yeah, I saw that one, but thanks
>>48613890
I prefer fantasy world setting, but I'll check out the gate anyway. Thanks Anon!
>>
dont know of any film besides whats mentioned here, but you should watch the show Legend of the Seeker, based on Sword of Truth book series. Never read the books, the show is cheesy but entertaining as all hell, with pretty good effects and acting. And super hot chicks and fighting in almost every episode. Its an underrated show I never see mentioned here, and its the definition of fantasy. Check it out bro.
>>
>>48613979
What's wrong with Troy?
>>
I don't know about Krull, OP. It's only worth it for the henchmen going SKREEE when they die and the majestic, glorious soundtrack.

Apart from that it's not that great, even as shlock.

I know, that's not even funny, it's that bad. But holy, do I love Conan the Barbarian and the Destroyer movies. They should'we made it into a trilogy. What about the new Conan movie? Starring Khal Drogo?

If you watch it with Arnold's movies in mind, it's unbelievably shit. If you don't, it's amusing. Not a complete waste of time, and they tried to stay away from the original's story and everything which was a good decision.

Check out the live action Disney movie Dragonslayer. Awesome fantasy and it has one of the best movie dragons in history.

Beowulf

yes the CGI version

Labyrinth
Conan the Destroyer
Red Sonja
Ladyhawke
Solomon Kane

Descending from good to not so much.
>>
>>48614129
Yes? It's a fun film, man, and while it cuts out most of the supernatural elements of the story it's still got enough to qualify as fantasy.
>>
>>48614203
No
>>
>>48614558
OP is clearly asking for medieval fantasy and Troy is so not. If you accept antic crap, you have stuff like Wrath of the Titans.

Also Troy shits all over the mythology, it's full of Hollywood PC crap and ignorance, it's badly acted and just lazy from the beginning, trying to cash-in on Lotr-style battles.

Neither is Conan. "Fantasy" does not imply medieval fantasy.

>>48614641
>Also Troy shits all over the mythology, it's full of Hollywood PC crap and ignorance, it's badly acted and just lazy from the beginning, trying to cash-in on Lotr-style battles.
I won't argue with that, but the duel between Achilles and Hector makes everything worth it. It's one of the finest fantasy duels put on film.

Also speaking of Wrath of the Titans, OP check out the old Clash of the Titans movie.

What about the really old He-Man movie? was that good?

Comfy movie?

>>48614873
Also
Army of Darkness
The Wizard of Oz (serious)
This Is the End
Versus
Maléfique
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Chasseurs de dragons (Dragon Hunters)
Warlock
Big Trouble in Little China
The Gamers (2002) (and its sequels)
Trolljegeren (Trollhunter)
Q
Gandahar
Krabat
Gwai wik (Re-cycle)

And a huge second to Excalibur.

Not all of these films are sword and sorcery fantasy, but as a fan of the genre, they all scratched that itch.

Might as well add Brotherhood of the Wolf to that list.. Not fantasy, but sure scratches the itch.
