It's still absolutely stunning to me that something like LotR was ever made, and that they were so stunningly good.
It was a true watershed moment in cinema.
Imagine if the books were never written...
Just came here to see LotR take the first place, wasn't disappointed.
We can take it for granted now. But theres no reason it's not #1
I prefer The Hobbit films. (First time that sentence was ever uttered in history. Also, those Hobbit movies don't exist. Forget them.)
Aye, I could do that
So the list is actually Top Twelve, with the trilogy's installments either tying for first or each film is considered better than its predecessor.
Naturally, for Hobbit, they should have followed a precedent from Lucasfilm. Wait until around now to start making it, but first rerelease the LotR trilogy with new special effects.
The Middle Earth makers could then distinguish themselves by doing it again. Twenty years from now, rerelease the Hobbit with new special effects, then adapt a prequel trilogy to it out of Silmarillion.
Yup same 😂❤️
When I heard the first category, I said to myself, "this kinda sounds a lot like Big Fish". A movie that I've watched only once when it came out in my prepubescence but has continued to hold a solid place in my heart. Now I have to rewatch it.
Big Fish is a movie that I now desperately wish I had watched with my father while he was still with us. I miss him.
@@duanevp Damn 😢💔💔
@@duanevp I hadn’t spoken to my father in years when I watched it. I called him right afterwards.
this is the comment I'm looking for, I had a very similar experience with you, I only watch Big Fish once a long time ago, and when CineFix talk about the #10 lowkey I kinda know which movie he's talking about and then I whisper "Big Fish", and just a second later CineFix reveals that movie, it's epic 😄
Big Fish is so beautiful...
Watching people discover the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the first time is a joy.
You are right, lately I've been watching a lot of people watching LotR for the first time and it is always interesting to see their prospectives
My kids (11 & 7) don’t really get into it which is really disappointing! They prefer The Hobbit!! 😢
@@dawnguard6472 Not such a bad thing. You have sown the seeds and hopefully have many years to watch them grow. Appreciation can come with age and understanding.
@@dawnguard6472 the hobbit was originally also meant for kids (as a book) so maybe when they get older they will get that lotr is much more superior
@@dawnguard6472 Have patience. When I was a youngling, Episode One was my favorite Star Wars movie because I saw it in theatres when I was 6, it was more oriented to kids and there was more going on. Safe to say my opinion changed later in life.
I feel that we may never get anything quite like the LOTR Trilogy ever again.
Sadly I have to agree. There's so many reasons why it was so amazing. The source material. The casting. The music. All the artists who were involved. The source material alone one would be hard pressed to find anything near the depth and calibre of Tolkien. Maybe Frank Herbert's Dune but that's more sci-fi.
We will. It might take a few decades though.
GOT would have been a close second if it wasn’t for the monumental fuck up of the last 2 seasons
Well maybe we’ll get a remake in 20 years once GRRM decides to finish the story
@@atomcraft4067 Branden Sanderson world builds as good as Tolkien if not better to be honest, The Stormlight Archive definitely is up there. In my opinion.
@@theonlymexicanman4422 the pizzas are on their way, they’re coming!
We all knew that LOTR was going to be number 1, and we all knew it deserved it. For me, the biggest cinematic event of my lifetime. Nothing has come close since, and it's hard to imagine anything will.
Right. I'll never forget Helm's Deep on the big screen, or how the woman in the young couple behind me mocked her boyfriend relentlessly over his fear of Shelob.
I didn't know it -- this list is so pretentious, I thought #1 would be some South Korean fantasy we've never heard of....
@@robland6804
It's the thumbnail, it's the 20th anniversary, it broke Oscar records, Tolkien literally created High Fantasy... not seeing that coming is pretty dumb.
@@Richard_Nickerson Tolkien didn't "create" high fantasy, wtf -- ever heard of William Morris, George MacDonald?
Also, eff off douche nozzle
@@robland6804
I've heard of the Story of Sigurd, but no I did not know the name of William Morris offhand. Nor does the Internet agree that his writing is what he's best known for.
And no, not even Googling George MacDonald has rung any bells.
JRR Tolkien was also born while both of these men were alive, so they're basically all in the same era anyway. Stuff only a few decades older that no one commonly knows isn't much to go on.
And that's much ruder than I was, you pretentious twit. Given all the clues, it is at least objectively *very unobservant* not to see LotR in the #1 slot.
One of the only few times I actually teared up when watching a film happened at the end of the Lord of the Rings, not once, but twice. First when Aragorn says to the hobbits, you bow to no one, and again when they are at the Grey Havens saying their goodbyes. I am not an emotional person, either, and these two times really got me.
The end of the final film was boring, couldn’t wait for it to end.
Same. I pretty much never cry, but the LOTR trilogy makes me tear up every time I watch it.
I teared up a few times during the Fellowship
the way you revealed LOTR to be your top pick is my favorite thing on the internet this week! I can assure you, you got EXACTLY the reaction you were going for with me!
The lord of the rings is one of those trilogies that makes you feel part of the journey and once you’ve finished it your sad when that journey is finally over. Others may beat it now money wise because they are still going like Star Wars, but there is nothing like TLOTR it will always be my favourite series
I was a bit confused Star Wars didn't even get mentioned.
@@LeutnantJoker different category I think. Sci-fi as opposed to fantasy
And all feel the same who live to see Lord of the Rings. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
@@Iksvomid Wise words, wise words indeed
Boromir is my favourite character
Guys you almost scared me there for a second by not posting for a while. Always glad to see a new video on this channel
Feel the same
I don't like that the movie reviews he does for ign goes on their main ign n not thier movie merge original UA-cam channel.
“TLOTR is now 20 years old” wait what?!! Jeez I’m old.
Also the ending of Big Fish made me cry like a baby
As a massive fan of the art of puppetry, you have no clue how happy I was to see you guys put The Dark Crystal in the honourable mentions of number 1!
I get this channel is called "Cinefix" and not "Tele-fix", but a small part of me was hoping for a mention of "The Storyteller" under mythic fantasy. It might just be my favorite thing the Henson company ever made.
@Tom Ffrench you mean Age of Resistance?
@@katherinelynch4193 if it weren’t for the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, I’d rank both The Storyteller and The Storyteller Greek Myths as the finest series the Jim Henson Creature Shop ever produced.
If you are a massive fan of the art of puppetry then you will probably be absolutely disturbed by Being John Malkovich
I really thought you were going to talk about Being John Malkovich
Fantastic List and I now have several new films to see. So glad to see howls moving castle on here, love the film love the book.
Now I’m off to watch the LOTR trilogy extended editions back to back again.
Star wars is fantasy
@@marcboss6 and its bad
@@marcboss6 Space fantasy more likely to go up on a list of science-fiction films, but yes it is fantasy
Howls moving castle is without a doubt a masterpiece.
Spirited away is also a classic.
@@specialfart7578 believe it or not they put it on their western list
One day Cinefix wont choose Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for a list. Guess today is not that day lol
It's a great movie
the movie deserve every bit of appreciation
I see what you did there lol
Well, it's not exactly sci-fi, so i wouldn't expect it on that list at least. I mean... they couldn't.... right?
But it is not this day. This day we fight!
So happy for Howl’s Moving Castle and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind getting the recognition they deserve! Also worth mentioning are Fantastic Planet and El Topo.
Peter Jackson never went to the bathroom for the entire time he made the Lord of the Rings? Good to know.
That’s how he lost so much weight-it was three years of urine.
And that's what makes the films such crap. =o)
You know it's an accurate list when they ensure to call out Toto. The real hero.
TIM Bandits sounds like a dope sequel... Sorry i noticed the typo in the video and i couldn't resist.
I noticed it too. LoL
They also listed "La Belle et La Bete" as 1937 when it was 1946.
I always thought Evil from Time Bandits resembled Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Minus the horns, that is.
I hoped someone else would mention it so I didn't "have to".
(I know, I don't have to, but I proofread a lot, so I feel like I do. I can't be taken anywhere that there are signs with typos, or worse, a misplaced apostrophe! Hubby gets very embarrassed lol)
After decades of movie-watching, I'm amazed at how many great movies I haven't seen that appear on your lists.
There are tons and tons of amazing content made around the world in last 60 years that most americans are totally unaware of
If you don't cry during the musical swell after Aragorn bows to the Hobbits, then you're not a human.
For me it was Boromir's last stand followed by "I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king."
@@Mortred99
Oh well, obviously there too. But I've seen plenty of people say there's nothing worth reacting to in the first 2 movies, but if you get all the way to this moment and still don't cry, then you're an alien or a robot.
That's like the last part where I would cry but ok. (It's sam drawing, in the first one or when they are on the mountain and it's erupting that gets me)
@@francescobruno418
Did I say it was the first or only moment? No, I'm implying that it's the biggest.
If you get through all 3 movies without crying, if you get all the way to this point near the end of the last movie and STILL don't cry, then you're not a human.
FFS I feel like people are going out of their way not to understand this.
Edit: Like... I literally already explained this too...
Guess I'm not human. So what does that make me?
Pathala Bhairavi, Maya Bazar and Bahubali in a single video. Proud day for the Tollywood industry.
Nothing can beat Lord of the rings
You're right, nothing did.
Not even the same director with the prequel material.
definitely not another movie but if we are talking books, check out the stormlight archives by Brandon Sanderson. Phenomenal
@@abdullahimran4624 I'm moving forward to read it after finishing my present book. Have you read Kingkiller chronicle ? because people often compare it with Mistborn.
Game of thrones
I think Cinefix knew there'd be riots if LoTR wasn't on the list.
I do appreciate how they teased us.
Also very glad to see Miyazaki recognised on numerous spots.
I never had any doubt in my mind that it would be number 1. I mean, what else does even qualify next to LotR? Any other pick would be willful ignorance.
Howl's Moving Castle finally getting the recognition it deserves!
What? It made almost ten times its budget at the box office alone. It’s never been anything other than a big hit.
Next do a list of top 10 b-movies of all time. It will be interesting
I'm fairly-what glad I saw Ed Wood, the film by Tim Burton, before I saw Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Tremors for the a monster attacks category
Worst Movies of All Time? Hmmmmm. You have my attention.
@@Navesblue B movies aren’t necessarily bad, they’re just low budget and campy.
Finally Russ Meyer's chance to shine!
Lord of the Rings is best trilogy of all time imo.
#GreatestOfAllTime.
You’re not wrong
Not the greatest, but it’s up there.
@@maxinecaulfield310 It clearly is
@@ResevoirGod Sure
You, sir, have my utmost respect for actually caring about sub-genres, or better yet, themes within genres. Seems I'm not the only one obsessed with categorization. Yes, high fantasy, low fantasy, magic realism etc. are certainly different things worth having their own dedicated lists.
I might be wrong about this but your comment kinda sounds like this is your first CineFix Top 10 list. If that's the case, give the entire playlist a watch because you're definitely going to love it. Be prepared for your watchlist to multiply in length though.
@@DerMoerpler Thanks for the recommendation, but I've actually been watching CineFix for years. It's just that fantasy and scifi are two huge genres (themes, as I'd like to call them) that I've gone into the trouble and analyze extensively, personally and professionally, so any time I watch someone else do something similar, I feel like I have to give my respects :)
On the other hand though, if I want to be picky, these lists seem like a lost opportunity, as they're not really top-10s, but top-1 recommendation for 10 different sub-themes, so it doesn't work as a countdown. I feel like they could really do much more if they were to make 10 top-10 lists instead of just 1.
Glad you included "Wings of Desire." I remember emerging from the theater disoriented, as if coming out of a dream. Not many movies can do that.
aaaaahhh, i'd love to see that one in a theater
They've mentioned Paris, Texas for years. I was waiting for them to finally mention Wings of Desire somewhere
Probably my favorite foreign language film. Truly beautiful and poetic.
I also thought he would mention rashomon somewhere
Stardust, Krull, and Sorry to Have Bothered You should have been highlighted in this list.
It's called Sorry to Bother You.
Agreed on the first two, not seen the other so can't comment. They definitely did one thing right by not including the execrable Hobbit movies, though.
Beastmaster, too.
Stardust got mentioned
@@expendableindigo9639 Actually, I think it's called I Want to Profusely Apologize for Causing You any Inconvenience
There's absolutely no way a movie can get more magical or packed with fantasy than LOTR.
I'm so glad for your number 2 pick! I feel it often gets overshadowed by Spirited away, but the world and storyline of How'l feel so much more incredible to me!
Have you read the trilogy by Diana Wynne Jones?
@@petraw9792 not yet no! It's part of my list of books I hope to find a beautiful copy in a garage sale someday haha
Can't wait to watch The Green Knight to hopefully add it to my top ten fantasy movies
Pan's labyrinth is my top 1 dark fantasy movie
No contest for me.
Pan’s Labyrinth is my top 1 favorite movie
This and The Fall
In my top 5 movies
So happy you picked Big Fish
I absolutely love the construction of this list… I’m glad Uncle Boonmee made this list, I hardly ever hear anyone talk about it. I always manage to find new movies to watch in your vids, and this time I found plenty!
Hot Ones and CineFix: the UA-cam crossover event of the century
All 3 Indian movies in your list are from our Tollywood(Telugu film) industry. Thank you cinefix for recognizing them.
Yeah, Bollywood kinda sucks! Just knows how to copy movies from south
Except "Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne"
The thing I like about this channel is that it recognizes movies from all over the world, not just Hollywood.
@@Dibyendupal22 Yeah. sorry I missed that.
AHHH Great list! I love that you chose La Belle et La Bete. It's one of my all time favorites and it just _feels_ like a fairy tale. Gorgeously filmed in that whimsical black and white beauty.
And of course LOTR needs to be first. How dare you remind me it's 20 years old 😱 It was the cornerstone of my high school years and the thing that helped me get through some tough times.
Wow, 4 references from criminally underrated Tollywood of india. Thank you.
Two different Tollywood, you mean?
The smile on my face when you named Howl's Moving Castle for no. 2. It doesn't get nearly enough recognition as it deserves and I was so happy to see it there!
I'm surprised you didn't have Space Fantasy as a category. Like Star Wars, Flash Gordon, etc
[SPOILERS]They already put Star Wars in the Western top 10.[/SPOILERS]
@@sonicgoo1121 Yea, but they've put films in multiple genres before
Yeah, I was thinking how science fiction films are also in a sense fantasy films.
I guess you guys are right. Star wars and of course, Dune have their own categories, I suppose. But, if we are truly talking about fantasy worlds, you cannot escape all of the extra-earth genres. But, just my opinion. I really watch this stuff to see the movies I may have missed, and wow, there still are so many, so it's a worthy watch
No Kusturica mention within the magical realism section, now that's radical
Way to toy with our emotions at the end, y'all.
...but yeah, nothing beats LOTR.
Great list. For the mythological fantasy I would add Cartoon Saloon’s films “Secret of Kells”, “Song of the Sea”, and “Wolf Walker’s”
Aww man. Just gotta say: I have a "Watch later"-list which I casually add interesting videos to for playing video games on mute with youtube in the background... And you guys deserve to know: I had to get up out of my chair and go up and Like and comment this, just for always coming up with beautiful movie talk but also the little nuances, such as the The Last Action Hero inserts in this particular video around the 9:26 mark. SO GOOD. SO MAGIC. Love your editing and passion for movie talk and I'm glad to see you guys back, it's feels like it's been a while. Please keep it up!
the wuxia genre is one of my favourite discoveries when it comes to fantasy. the way it is both fantastical and entirely mundane to the people themselves is incredible to watch
Thank you for selecting Cocteau’s La Belle et la Bête, one of my all time favorite films ; that first showed me the magic of movies. The atmosphere of this film is so original and captivating, it’s a must see for any cinéphile out there!
I just wanted to say you guys have made me find a new appreciation for film and everything that goes into making them
Glad that Big Fish made the list. That is a pretty special movie.
LOVE the Howl’s Moving Castle pick. All of Myazaki’s films are wonderful, but that one is my personal favorite and it seems like it’s almost never acknowledged.
Give it a bit of time. It’s still one of his more recent films, so it hasn’t yet had a chance to truly establish itself. My favourite is still Mononoke, but that’s a much older one.
I will for ever remember the moment everyone kneels before the 4 Hobbits. Gives me chills everytime.
For anyone who haven't seen Pathala Bhairavi (1951), Mayabazar (1957) & Baahubali 1&2 (2015,2017) these are Great Telugu Films which are made in India (Not Bollywood). If you want to know other fantastic fantasies from Telugu Cinema here are 4 of them: 1. Eega - Revenge Fantasy (2012) 2. Arundhati - Fantasy Horror (2009) 3. Jamba Lakidi Pamba - Fantasy Comedy (1992) 4. Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari - Romantic Fantasy (1990). Note - There's much more in Indian Cinema than Bollywood Musicals same as there's much more in American Cinema than Superhero Movies and Franchises.
"all hail the king" - LOTR takes its rightful place :')
Quote from Army of darkness though
I remember watching LOTR for the first time in college (because I was too young to see it when it first came out) with a group of friends. We'd initially intended to just watch Fellowship, but were so drawn into the world we ended up binging all three movies in one sitting-- from 3pm to roughly 2am the next morning. It's still one of my favorite memories from that period of my life.
I was bursting at the seams to shout out Heavenly Creatures for the first category, but waited to see if it would land elsewhere in the video. Making this list was a monumental task, so anyone would be forgiven for leaving out a few examples. Still, I was also pretty surprised Charlie and the Chocolate Factory didn’t make it into the urban fantasy.
Anyhow, as always your video has stoked the fire of cinema love again. Thanks!
Crouching tiger hidden dragon has been my all time favorite film since I first saw it on VHS in 2000.
Just a heads up, the title for Time Bandits is misspelled. It says "Tim Bandits".
Excellent video, as always!
That's the spinoff with just Tim and his bandits.
Proud to see Big Fish get some love. I've always felt it was one of Tim Burton's less acknowledged films. Thank you
Most of his films bother me...but not Big Fish. It is such a great experience to watch that one, and the end turns me to a weeping, slobbering mess. One of my favorite films ever.
@@papigringo5692 I think it’s one of the few films of his that are noticeably substance over style. Generally he gets a bit carried away with giving everything the Burton Look.
Fantasy is my favorite genre in media, and I didn't expect you to bring us a list for this. It's amazing, I have a lot of new movies to add to my list now
19 hours spent well watching the director’s cut of all the LotR films
There was no doubt in LOTR being at the top. My favourite movies of all time.
The composition of this list made me very happy, as did seeing some of my favorites earn honorable mentions. The way you presented Fantasy Epic was wonderful and hilarious and I loved it.
I love how every time I leave with 10+ movies to watch and then read the comments and have to add 10+. Amazing list and yes, LotR is a everlasting miracle, when The last goodbye was playing at the end of the Hobbit trilogy I got so emotional, the feeling of witnessed the yearly release is a dear memory that I'll carry for as long as I live.
This was way more respectable than most social media "lists". Quite the intellectual and well justified top 10. Well done!
Not gonna lie, I watched this just to make sure that The Lord Of The Rings was #1
I'll add the caveat that Lord of the Rings was intended by Tolkien to be one story. He wrote it all as one book, but due to the cost of paper at the time, he had to split it into three parts. So you could technically call the Lord of the Rings "Trilogy" one movie split into three parts, just like the books are actually one novel split into three parts. At least, that's how Tolkien intended it.
Absolutely LOVE the format of the way you guys do lists. Awesome
Omg. You putting Big Fish on the list is way more validating than I ever thought possible.
I really appreciate this list. Exploring each category as a tier list was pretty fascinating. Talk about the "9 Realms" haha. And of course Lord of the Rings rolling in at number 1 is for certain the right call. Thanks for the video. I loved seeing so many references
Being John Malkovich is such an underrated gem. ❤️

So happy to see Howl’s Moving Castle!! ♥️
Thank you for giving attention to Big Fish. That movie is so underrated!
Of all your top 10s, we've been waiting such a long time for this one. And well worth it. Thanks Cinefix.
Glad to see Big Fish here! Not one of Burton's most popular films but one of my favorites!
I watched this whole video just to hear him talk about Lord of the Rings again. Did not disappoint.
Game of thrones is better
@@ZackWolfMusic Not at all, in my opinion
@@SannaJankarin your opinion is lame
GoT is just an imitation of some wars, with no basics in psychology and just pointless sex all over the place.
Wizard of Oz was my granddaughters favorite movie when she was a child.
You guys juste made my day ! Thanks for your incredible work
I get so mad when you guys take a month to post a new video and then am always blown away when I watch a new one. This channel is the best kept secret of UA-cam
I know this isn't a movie, but if you like Magical Realism you should definitely read the books of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, mainly 100 Years of Solitude
best book ever? maybe
@@burgesssam Altough I haven't read enough books to call it that, it is definitely my favourite :)
@@PedroCunha23 the Aurelianos would be proud
I read that in the back of the car while my father took me to discover ice.
Omg. I tried and I really really disliked it. It was boring to me. It seemed to me objectively good, but for another kind of audience, who loves realism with a delicate element of magic. I love these things separately and at their fullest.
Excalibur and Conan the Barbarian, those two are my favorites.
Same my man, besides LOTR, those 2 are up there for me.
KING KONG (1933) with Fay Wray should’ve got some sort of mention on the list. Timeless film. Even the press report for its New York release on March 2nd 1933 summed it up with: “This is film fantasy at its finest.”
I love this channel! Thanks for the work you do (so many new movies to watch!!)
The day when hollywood thinks it's time for a remake of LOTR is a sad day! The grand scale of everything will never be replicated!
That was The Hobbit trilogy. And indeed, it was sad.
A very good and comprehensive list! I would have like to see a nod to Ladyhawke.
I'm so glad you guys put Big Fish on here! Absolutely Tim Burton's most underrated film, and more people need to see it!
So happy to see another new incredible list
I watched Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives one year ago and was considered to be the best Thai films ever made.
I watched it too; unfortunately, I'd like to have an intellectual discussion as to why it was so good to help me "get it"...
No one was surprised the LOTR was #1
I absolutely love these ! Thank you so much for making these Beautiful videos!
I miss your videos. This list was very educational!!!
Wow, missed out my favorite: Legend.
Agreed!
I also didn’t spot Princess Bride, but it must have been in there somewhere.
@@borismuller86 It had an honorable mention. But, no Dragonslayer?
As a brazilian, I apreciate your efforts in not being too much european/north american focused
I do think Pan's Labyrinth should have taken its category, I don't think I've ever seen a more haunting and beautiful film.
One of the most impressive and thorough lists I’ve ever seen!
The Green Knight is a all time great fantasy movie , saw it last night, blown away is a understatement
Great to hear it delivers-the preview was so promising!
YES! Hallelujah! You did it right, CineFix! One question: Where on this list is your nod to Tarkovsky?
What a wonderfully well made video. Thank you!
Aaaah I've been waiting for this video. Love it love it love it
Pan’s Labyrinth better be here..
If it isn’t then I’ve no idea what to say....
Yes
Shit they only mentioned it. At least I’m personally happy to see Crouching Tiger get a main spot.
They mentioned it. It a good movie, it not Great.
@@bookeblade it’s a masterpiece of fantasy storytelling.
