Mine is Legend of the Seeker. Christopher Eccleston is soooo dreamy!

Ignoring the above comment, you might get an inkling from my banner. I watched Snow White and the Huntsman when it came out and was impressed from the start. Obviously, Finn was my favorite character. A real creepy guy, but his fighting moves were kick-ass!
So I'd have to add this movie to my favorite fantasy flicks list along with The Crow and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

I've never seen any of the Final Fantasy movies. Never thought I'd like them much.
I haven't seen Snow White and the Huntsman but if the guy in your banner is in it, I'm renting it tonight. He's cuuuute!

You might enjoy the Final Fantasy films. They're extremely well done.
Yes, the guy in my banner is in Snow White and the Huntsman. Although thanks to your remark, I may never watch it again.

If I can put my two cents in, I think he's attractive, too. His name's Sam Spruell, though I think he looks better with blonde hair.
I have a lot favorite fantasy movies. It's hard to name just one. I guess at the top of the list would be Labyrinth and Alice in Wonderland.

I'm not even going to get involved.
Labyrinth, now there's a movie I haven't seen in years. Epic in it's own way.
Funny, no one's mentioned Lord of the Rings.

How could I have forgotten LotR? Those movies were epic!

That's not a denial, sweetie
I really liked the Lord of the Rings movies, but I think I'm going to like The Hobbit more.
Another great film is The Princess Bride. Not over-whelmingly fantasy, but still a fantastic movie.

That one was a little too "sweet" for me.
Along similar lines with relation to style, but a bit darker:
I was forced to see this under duress, but I actually enjoyed it.

Oh...oh...me...me...me LotR is my all time favorite movie! I can not wait to be able to have a Tolkien marathon weekend with all of the movies including The Hobbit! I know it's a few years away but I still can't wait!

Fortunately The Hobbit is going to only be two movies - not three like LotR. The wait for those was a killer.
Have you ever seen the animated versions of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings from the 70s, I believe? Or maybe it was the early 80s. My nieces and nephews drag me into watching them every year when I visit at Christmas. I think I've got them memorized from title sequence to end. But they're good films.

A lot of people whine about those films but I loved them! The movies are what got me reading Tolkien!

I never understood why people liked to complain so much about them. I thought they were great and considering how much was in the books, Peter Jackson did a good job converting it to film without losing too much of the story.
I guess we should expect a lot of people to be complaining about The Hobbit, too.

You're probably right, Dot.
Another movie that's one of my favorites is Dragonball Evolution. I'm a rather large anime fan and while the Dragonball anime and manga was never really one of my favorites, I liked the flick.

There are always the purist or Tolkien zealots that freak out if you add or subtract something or omg make one book into 3! I realize money plays a part in it but really? If you love Tolkien think of it as the extended version and be open, I'm sure if Tolkien was a live today he would thank PJ for making his vision come to life!
Another on of my favorite movies is one I could watch over and over...The Count of Monte Cristo!

I agree, Alaryah. I always read the detractors for a good laugh.

The most recent one with Guy Pearce, Jim Caviezel, Richard Harris and Henry Cavill!

Never seen it. I've seen the original with Robert Donate. I didn't like it nearly as much as the book, but it was still good.

Kind of like Robin Prince of Theives. I didn't like that Robin Hood, of all people, didn't have an English accent. Being from the UK, it bothered me even more. Some of us found it funny, others found it outragous. Robin Hood being the iconic literary hero of England of old that he is

Did anyone like the newer Chronicles of Narnia movies? The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader? I liked them all.

I thought they were okay, but I liked The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe best out of the three. I loved the climatic battle at the end and especially the fight with the witch.

@White Wraith...The Count of Monte Cristo did stray from the book a bit but the movie was still very good. I do agree Robin Hood should have definitely had an English drove me crazy in that movie too!
@Dot and Phyrexia...the others were ok, but it was kinda hard to follow how epic The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe was!

I wonder how many people it bothered and how many didn't even notice.
Personally, I liked the BBC rendition of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe best, but I may be biased.

Sadly to say not many!
I remember seeing it years ago but I admit I don't remember much of it, so I think it's time to revisit it!
