The 50 Best Fantasy Movies of All Time

Need an escape? Grab your cloak, we have just what you need. Few film genres provide such an acute sense of escapism as fantasy films. Whether you’re entering a mythological land like Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings, a spiritual realm like Kami of Spirited Away, a surrealist labyrinth like Alice in Wonderland, or a universe all its own (Dune, anyone?) … we seem to gravitate to the ways in which fantasy films can transport us to worlds that seem light years away, with stories that lie close to our hearts. And the best part is? You don’t need to ride a dragon or to answer any bridge troll’s riddle in order to get to your destination. (Although, you might need to pay a fee for your travels if you’re catching it in theaters.)

Put reality on hold for a while and let yourself get lost in some of the most imaginative movies of all time. These are the 50 best fantasy films ever made.
