Wow, I never thought I'd see that many movies mentioned in one thread. I think it's safe to say my favorites are amongst those already posted.

 

Although each of the titles on this list is considered to be a "fantasy film," few could be classified using the "Sword and Sorcery" distinction. Truth in criticism, I suppose.
