NEW list of the best fantasy movies ever made. Fantasy is one of cinema’s oldest genres — Georges Méliès made beautiful magic in the 19th Century. But while filmmakers created indelible classics and unforgettable worlds through the 1900s, fantasy didn’t become a reliable blockbuster bet until the 21st Century. This list explores the evolution and milestones of fantasy films. Full list here: https://www.filmsranked.com/200-greatest-fantasy-films/ The list takes into account genre acclaim, prestige, popularity, and awards. It can both provide an introduction into a genre and also challenge film buffs who are looking to round out their knowledge. #fantasy #bestfilms

Sherlock Jr. (1924) - dir. Buster Keaton https://www.filmsranked.com/movie/sherlock-jr/ Sherlock Jr. is one of Buster Keaton’s most recognized classics. He plays a motion picture projectionist who falls asleep and enters the world of film, playing a world-famous detective. Buster Keaton averaged about a masterpiece a year during the 1920s. Sherlock Jr., from 1924, is one of those. The scene in which Keaton’s character enters the screen was “the reason for making the whole picture…Just that one situation,” he would later say. The trick shots and special effects were extraordinary for their time. Keaton claimed, “every cameraman in the business went to see that picture more than once trying to figure out how the hell we did some of that.” GREATEST FANTASY FILMS OF ALL TIME: https://www.filmsranked.com/fantasy-films/ #BusterKeaton #SilentFilms

The 1920 silent horror film is a classic of German Expressionism. Famously described as a precursor of Nazism by the book From Caligari to Hitler, it remains unsettling and disturbing to watch 100 years after it was first screened. Inspired by the horrors of World War I, the film tells the story of a sleepwalker who is hypnotized into committing a string of murders. The twist ending - written by Fritz Lang - is one of cinema's most famous. Actors: Conrad Veidt, Friedrich Feher, Lil Dagover, Werner Krauss Director: Robert Wiene Genres: Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, Silent, Thriller Release: February 27, 1920 APPEARS ON THESE LISTS: Greatest Horror Films - https://www.filmsranked.com/top-lists/greatest-horror-films/ Greatest Fantasy Films - https://www.filmsranked.com/top-lists/greatest-fantasy-films/ #GermanExpressionism #SilentHorror MORE INFO: https://www.filmsranked.com/movie/the-cabinet-of-dr-caligari/
