Prime Video It may not contain a large number of fantasy films, but it can be said that it bears the biggest name in the genre, Lord of the rings. And there are some cool classics in there, too, from sci-fi weirdness to sword and sorcery. Whether you’re looking for a completely new or classic version of the safe, there’s something for everyone.
Check out some of the best fantasy movies below!
Universal Pictures
The Northman is not pure fantasy, but has the scope of a fantasy epic. Amleth (Alexander Skarsgård), a Viking warrior prince, seeks revenge for his father’s death. With Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Ethan Hawke among the cast, The Northman is a solid tour to marvel from The Lighthouse director Robert Eggers.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
While it was a disappointment after the majesty of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit still delivers a great performance from Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins. Six years before the events of The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) persuaded Bilbo to accompany 13 dwarves on a mission to recover the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch).

This is one of those titles that really does what it says on the box. Is there love? Yes. Are there monsters? you betcha. Love and Monsters was an underrated release featuring Dylan O’Brien as a young man trying to reconnect with his high school girlfriend… after the apocalypse, with a bunch of monsters among them.
Amazon Prime Video
Starring Camila Cabello (and yes, James Corden as a giant rat), this adaptation of Cinderella is a surprisingly fun musical once you get over how in-your-face it is. It’s glamorous time with feisty Cinderella calling the shots.
Momentum Pictures
Adapted from Oscar Wilde’s classic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, this 2009 film tells the story of Dorian Gray (Ben Barnes) and the image he hides away, which becomes older and more polluted as he lives out his eternal youth. The film also stars Colin Firth as Lord Henry Wootton.
01 distribution
This Italian live Pinocchio is one that will stay with you long after you watch it. Starring Federico Ielapi as Pinocchio and Roberto Benigni as Geppetto, the film follows the story of a young boy, Pinocchio, and his quest to become a real boy. It gets dark sometimes, but it works.
