Some movies in all probability should not be included in any respect, comparable to Godmothered (#77) and Nanny McPhee Returns (#69), whereas some folks could not think about different movies to be fantasy in any respect (Sleepy Hole, The Seventh Seal).

One is an old-school masterpiece, one other is a live-action remake of an animated basic, and the third is the ultimate installment in an epic franchise. Let’s check out these prime three rated fantasy movies.
