Fantasy Poll!
Added 2024-12-04 04:56:22 +0000 UTCHello all you fine folks, and Happy December! I love seeing all the twinkling lights go up around us. This year we're a bit too busy with the new little one, but I can't wait until we can join the fun and put up our own lights!
Alright, thank you all so much for voting last week... the winner was Ex Machina! We're both super excited to see this... because as you know, we love Sci-fi!
When we did our genre poll two weeks ago, sci-fi/fantasy won, so this week we're doing a Fantasy poll!

I cannot believe you're asking me to choose between these! The nerve! Though one of these movies is not like the others. Neverending Story wins for me, but by a hair.

2024-12-05 05:14:20 +0000 UTCThat's fair! When we looked up its genre it said it was horror fantasy... But that's about all we know haha.

2024-12-04 17:40:35 +0000 UTCA lot of us were surprised to see Constantine in a fantasy list, but I'll take it. It fits the definition because it has supernatural elements so I get it, but it doesn't have that medieval element you might expect from classic fantasy. I'm still voting for it because it's one of my favorites. Everything listed would be great to watch. Legend really is the best classic depiction of a "Fantasy" story. Willow is a fun and often overlooked fantasy with an interesting new world using classic tropes. The Never Ending Story is an epic children's adventure. Love the Constantine film, I just wish they'd make some with Matt Ryan from the DCU instead of Keanu (who's great, but who's not at all like the character). The plot is very much like something from the Hellblazer comics including the character relationships. The critics hated it, and that's usually a good sign too ;-)

2024-12-04 16:40:06 +0000 UTCcan anyone spot the odd one out on the list 3 of them are fantasy and 1 is not i would be happy with never ending story or legend or willow but i will not be happy if the non fantasy film Constantine wins so why are people voting for it it blows my mind

2024-12-04 14:47:43 +0000 UTCI was not aware Constantine was a fantasy. I voted Willow!

2024-12-04 14:09:02 +0000 UTCI have a feeling this will be a close poll right down the the end. Voted Willow, but I am happy to see Legend on the list of choices.

2024-12-04 11:46:45 +0000 UTCGATTACA is so overlooked by everyone. This movie will stay with you the rest of your life. I've had countless people thank me for introducing them to this movie.

2024-12-04 10:00:36 +0000 UTCReally really underrated movie.

2024-12-04 07:02:28 +0000 UTCThese are all good, but I voted Legend because it almost perfectly represents the mental aesthetic I see when I think "fantasy". Plus, unlike some of the other choices, the effects and costumes are just about flawless even 40 years later.

2024-12-04 06:19:30 +0000 UTCI voted for Neverending Story. That one is on that huge list of recommendations I gave you. In case you don't have time to look at it, I'll give you the same advice regarding this film I gave there in case it wins and I don't have the chance to say this when it does. There are two versions of this movie--the Director's Cut, and a theatrical release. Please, please make sure you get the THEATRICAL RELEASE. There are several scenes in the DC that weren't properly edited, and which look terrible, and it has bad voice dubbing that doesn't sound right at all. Most importantly, though, the DC doesn't have the iconic music the movie had when it came out in theaters, and the lack of it robs the movie of much of it's power. Not to mention, it might be harder for people to find the DC, which means less people will be able to watch, because we can't sync with you. Whatever wins, I'll be here, but I really hope NES wins. You guys will love it.

2024-12-04 05:28:38 +0000 UTCZardoz? Most definitely

2024-12-04 05:20:29 +0000 UTCZack will hate me for this but I vote Never Ending Story! It freaks him out. I’m sure he would vote Constantine though 😂
Lesley and Zack
2024-12-04 05:10:55 +0000 UTCNothing wrong with the others but glad Legend is winning cause this, Krull, Company of Wolves, Excalibur, the baffling Zardoz, these are the movies that need to be talked out.

ButtercupsTrueLove
2024-12-04 05:06:51 +0000 UTCI wouldn’t call Constantine fantasy. It’s religious horror and action. Also look… Legend isn’t gonna win this… BUT WATCH IT ANYWAY SO PEOPLE START REACTING TO IT! Create the fucking demand homies. Tim Curry’s performance in that is ALL TIME GREAT. Also if you “partake”… great movie for that.

2024-12-04 04:58:29 +0000 UTCYay Ex Machina! Please remember to put GATTACA on the next sci-fi poll, it's Ethan Hawke's personal favorite, and hits you in the brain and the feels at the same time!

2024-12-04 04:58:29 +0000 UTCThese are all great. I'm crossing my fingers for Legend. The style and characters are excellent.
Ian A
2024-12-04 04:58:28 +0000 UTCThis is easy: ALL OF THEM. They're all great movies, but my ranking is: Neverending Story, Willow, Legend, Constantine.

2024-12-04 04:58:27 +0000 UTCLegend! No one reacts to this film but I loved it as a kid. Tom Cruise in a fantasy film battling witches, demons and Satan. Sign me up
