Despite how fantastic life can be, it's still nice to melt out of reality for a while to inhabit the imagined world of a good fantasy flick. We emphasize the word "good" here, since a shoddily written fantasy world is more than enough to send us clinging for reality's ankles and never letting go till we see a promising trailer.
Thankfully, despite how many mediocre and cruddy fantasy movies have been made throughout the years, there's an overwhelming selection of good fictional worlds for us to escape to now and then. Without these, we'd all be trapped in the real world at all times, even when it seems to want little to do with us.
Thankfully, fantasy movies demand nothing but our attention. Give them that, and they'll give us a new world, where magic is not only possible but prevalent.
Speaking of magic, we might have a little spell of our own lingering over this webpage. Maybe - just maybe - a lucky quiz taker can join the realm of a certain fantasy movie in a very real way at the end of this quiz. All it takes is a few ratings, and we'll find out which flick that might be.
Rate The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
We'll start this quiz off with arguably the ultimate fantasy flick - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. This movie is so epic, it's like all fantasy movies glued themselves together, their collective finger sporting a little ring.
Rate Spirited Away
This one isn't nearly as much of a box office record breaker as the last two, but that says nothing of its merit. Anyone who's watched Spirited Away knows just how enchanting and fantastic it is. What rating does this one get?
Rate Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Here we go - the first of our Harry Potter features in this quiz. And yes, we'll be featuring them all, because they're all super epic fantasy movies. Here's where it all started - what rating does Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone get?
Rate The Neverending Story
Some kids grew up with The Neverending Story playing in the background of their childhood - and their spirits. Others know nothing of this movie and its neverending story. Regardless, there's a button that needs clicking below.
Rate Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not anyone's average martial arts movie. In this one, warriors fly through the sky like feathers carried through the wind - that is, if feathers could carry swords. What an epic flick this is.
Rate The Mummy
Someone just messed up royally by awakening a world ending mummy from his eternal slumber. Now, Brendan Fraser needs to swing in and clean up the mess so everyone can move on with their lives. What rating does this deserve?
Rate Bruce Almighty
Bruce Almighty hangs the world by his fingertip - probably because he's among the gods know. But, as we all learn in this movie, even gods have some lessons they need to soldier through. How good is Bruce Almighty?
Rate Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Here it is - the second of our movies in this quiz about The Boy Who Lived. This time, there's a serpent in the basement that needs to be slain, and a talking book is not helping. What do we think of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets?
Rate Avatar
While there are other fantasy movies that definitely have more of a cult following than Avatar, we can't deny that this movie about blue folk completely blew it (and everything else) out of the water in terms of box office rake-in. Is Avatar good though?
Rate Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
It's Scott Pilgrim against the world in this lovely, romantic fantasy movie. He'll do anything it takes to earn the hand of Ramona Flowers, even if it means defeating all her exes. What rating does Scott Pilgrim vs. the World get?
Rate The Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz is among the greatest fantasy movies of all time, partly (or mainly) because it's one of the first fantasy movies to have ever been made. Does it keep up with current standards, or is it a little dated?
Rate The Mask
Here is Jim Carrey once again, except this time he's not a god - this time, he's a strange green superhero wearing a mask. Stanley Ipkiss is his name, and wacky heroism is his game. The Mask is pretty cool, right?
Rate The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Here are Merry and Pippin, taken aback by one of the many things that can take one aback in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Being the second installment of one of the most epic franchises ever, this must be pretty good.
Rate Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange is readying a realty defying spell, and we sure don't want to be at the receiving end of it - unless it grants us immortality, but that's not a chance we're willing to take. How good is this guy's movie?
Rate Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
It looks like Mr. Johnny Depp is here and ready to duke it out across the seven seas. With his great supporting cast, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is sure to be a promising movie. Though some tend to disagree.
Rate Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, our three heroes face a whole new level of threat, and things take a very dark turn very quickly. Some say this is the most artful film of the franchise, and others say, "No it isn't!"
Rate Hugo
Hugo was quite prominent when it was released some years back, but people tend to have forgotten about it by now. That's a shame, since this is a quaint - if not cute - fantasy movie, directed by Mr. Martin Scorsese himself.
Rate King Kong
Here is King Kong, and just look at that - he's in an all out brawl against a dinosaur! Who knew we'd get to witness such an epic battle in this quiz! Too bad this is a still shot, but the footage is out there for all who are interested in watching.
Rate The Jungle Book
Sticking to jungle related themes, we have The Jungle Book - the IRL version. It would never be a good idea for a little boy to be hanging out next to a bear in the wild, unless the kid is Mowgli and the bear is Baloo.
Rate Pan's Labyrinth
Pan's Labyrinth is one of the more bizarre numbers in our quiz - even after all these years, we're not quite sure what we were looking at when we watched it. Still, we couldn't deny the quality that was exemplified on screen.
Rate Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Before we can even blink, we have another installment in the series about The Boy Who Lived - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This was the first to introduce real loss in the series, though we won't say more than that.
Rate The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Although it's a far cry from the series it was spawned out of, one can't help by agree that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is one of the more epic films to have been released in the past few years. However, the quality is debatable.
Rate Jumanji
Of course, we're taking about the original Jumanji here. Not to say anything bad about Dwayne Johnson, but nobody does it better than Mr. Robin Williams. The original Jumanji is a great, original fantasy flick - right or wrong?
Rate Godzilla
Oh dear - we can't even crane our necks far back enough to get a good look at the towering fiend that is Godzilla. He's taller than several skyscrapers, and he's here to tear all those skyscrapers down. But what a glorious specimen he is.
Rate Sleepy Hollow
Here is Johnny Depp yet again - the godfather of niche fantasy movies. Who can forget his performance in Sleepy Hollow as the neurotic Ichabod Crane? Too bad there's a headless horseman out for Ichabod's... head.
Rate 300
King Leonidas gazes out at the battlefield, at the impossible task that he's taken on. Despite his opposition, he achieved something great in his stand off, although it may only become clear in retrospect.
Rate Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
It's time to get a bit of order in this quiz, and by that, we of course mean it's time for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. A lot happened in this one, and many were quite shocked at how it ended. Us included...
Rate Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Well, just look at that - it's Mr. Johnny Depp yet again, this time starring as Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. There's a lot of sugary delight to take in with this one, and a lot of subtext, too, if that's what we're looking for.
Rate Click
With one Click of Adam Sandler's remote, we'd be surprised at what sort of impossible feats can be made real. However, it's important not to abuse this magic, otherwise things can take a left turn before Adam can even blink.
Rate Beetlejuice
Say his name three times, and something truly supernatural will happen. Those who have seen Beetlejuice know exactly what we're referring to, and many don't even dare say the words in real life. But nothing will happen if they say them.
Rate Alice in Wonderland
As far as fantasy movies go - animated or not - Alice in Wonderland is an absolute classic. Its psychedelic tale is unforgettable, despite its obviously dreamlike nature. Let's see which direction those thumbs are pointing in.
Rate The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
A noble lion king rules over an enchanted land that exists within a wardrobe. Welcome to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - one of the best fantasy movies of all time. At least, depending on who's being asked.
Rate Hellboy
Hellboy is far from anyone's conventional fantasy flick. While the protagonist is definitely fantastic, he doesn't tend to give a darn about much of anything - that is, until he's provoked. And, trust us - provoking this guy is a bad idea.
Rate E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
From the depthless directorial mind of Mr. Steven Spielberg himself comes E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Here's a fantasy flick fit for the ages, and definitely one that hasn't lost its shine even after so many years have passed since its release.
Rate Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Everyone already knew this one was coming, and how could we possibly have skipped it? After all, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is easily one of the most memorable films in the Harry Potter series, and all Potterheads will agree.
Rate Into the Woods
It's time to follow Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep Into the Woods for another wild, fantastic adventure. The deeper we go, the more uncertain we'll become of what exactly we'll run into. Hopefully, Johnny here will be on our side.
Rate Where the Wild Things Are
Now, what on Earth is that strange creature hiding in a futile fashion behind that tree? It looks like a Wild Thing, for sure. That's probably because it's in Where the Wild Things Are, which is a unique fantasy film if we've ever seen one.
Rate Night at the Museum
It's amazing what can happen in a single overnight shift when working at the museum. So many things occurred in this night, it's easier to list what didn't happen than what did. But we won't list either, so let's just rate Night at the Museum.
Rate Wrath of the Titans
There's an ancient rage swirling in the air, and we think the Titans are to blame. Of course, it might also be this absurd dragon blasting our warrior down. Such things tend to happen in Wrath of the Titans. Thumbs up or down?
Rate Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
The last installment of the Harry Potter series is so jam packed with content, it had to be split into two movies. So, here's the first - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. Voldemort and frenemies stare us down, waiting to see which button will be clicked.
Rate Hercules
In Hercules, the son of Zeus must find his way back to Olympus in a confused and confusing world that casts him aside time and time again. Hopefully ole Herc will land on his feet, but we'll have to see the movie to find out if he does.
Rate Big Fish
Many of the films in this quiz are household names, since the fantasy genre is historically super popular. However, Big Fish is a much more niche title, fit only for fantasy movie buffs who enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of the form.
Rate Beauty and the Beast
There's no better IRL Belle in the world than Emma Watson. Of course, she's had her practice in the fantasy movie genre thanks to her work in the Harry Potter series, but will that be enough to prepare her for the Beast?
Rate Dragonslayer
Let's go back some ways in time, when the movies were much cheesier yet arguably much more flavorful. For instance, here's Dragonslayer - a movie about dragonslaying, as it turns out. What sort of rating does this one deserve?
Rate How to Train Your Dragon
Since we're already on a dragon note, let's continue with How to Train Your Dragon. Thankfully this one has a different focus than the last fantasy movie, since slaying Toothless would be unimaginable. What direction will the thumbs go?
Rate Matilda
Having telekinetic powers is something that all kids - and even plenty of adults, your friendly neighborhood quiz makers included - tend to fantasize about. Thankfully, movies like Matilda exist to help manifest those fantasies.
Rate Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Here it is, Potterheads - the final Harry Potter title of this quiz. This epic series came to a blazing end with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. Let's see if this fantasy movie served to close the series off on the right note.
Rate Mary Poppins
Mary Poppins is flying away with the help of her nifty little enchanted parasol, and we'll soon be doing the same once the quiz is over. Except we'll be taking Hagrid's flying motorcycle instead. Anyway, how good of a movie is Mary Poppins?
Rate The Holy Mountain
We're looking at a ram here, but is that really what's going on? Given the movie this supposed ram is a part of, it's hard to tell what's happening at any moment. Let's see if we can muster up our senses long enough to click a button.
Rate The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
The final movie in this fantasy quiz is arguably the most epic one that the genre has to offer. It brought the LOTR series to a crashing, super satisfying end - at least we think so. Let's see what rating The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King will get.
