Re: Fantasy movies with good effects that aren't LOTR or HP

I recall the dragon in Dragon Heart being pretty good... at the time. No idea how well that has aged. It's not an especially great movie otherwise.

Does a Series of Unfortunate Events (movie) count as fantasy enough? I really loved the art direction in that.

The 13th Warrior doesn't really have much in the way of effects, so there's certainly no *bad* effects. I like that movie, but apparently I'm the only one who does.

I love The 13th Warrior and have watched it so many times! Bought the soundtrack, too, it's so amazing.

You're not the only one who loves 13th Warrior, although in my case it's as much nostalgia as anything else. It's one of my mother's favourite movies, almost purely because it has Antonio Banderas and Omar Sharif in the same movie, but I'm very fond of it as well. I mean, historically and archaeologically incredibly dodgy, but it's pretty fun, and I love the little blond Viking who befriends Ahmed.

Not entirely sure I'd call it fantasy, though, at least not in the overt sense? I mean, it does go out of its way a bit to avoid magical explanations for things. The Fire Wyrm, for example. And the whole Neanderthal thing in the book.

I was in the electronics section of Walmart the other day. On the end cap that has the newly released movies was a DVD multi pack of four Dragon Heart movies. I have the first and second movies, but I didn't know they made two more.
