13 Greatest Epic Fantasy Movies, Ranked

Fantasy movies are often, by their very nature, epic. While there are plenty of fantasy movies that deal with simpler magical realism or low-fantasy elements that don’t require a grand scale to accomplish, the biggest and best fantasy movies write their stories across the widest canvas possible. These are the high fantasy movies set in far-off lands where amazing beasts and magical creatures live together, or those that expand our world with magic existing right underneath or alongside it. Either way, they transport audiences to a world that, even when it might resemble their own, is wondrous and unbelievable and could only exist on the silver screen.
