Troll and troll 2(worst movie ever made).

Troll 2 was awesome. lol.

I was pleasantly surprised by Snow White and the Huntsman. Didnt expect much from Kristen Steward - but she is actual decent. And Charlize Theron is always worth watching.
It is not a palm d`or winner but perfect a saturday evening entertainment
Personally im a sucker for scenes like this:

I watched that clip and a few others of her actually speaking. Nope. Wooden with no emotion, as usual. I'll pass.

Not gonna lie, I liked the first Shrek.

[Franzy]

The Dark Crystal is pretty visually interesting I thought

Yeah, gonna have to agree with you on this one. My mom and I went to see it when it was in theaters. Kristen Steward didn't do much for me until the end of the film, and even then her performance could've been better. I was more interested in the Huntsman, to be honest.

So I watched Pan's Labyrinth and Trollhunter last night and it peaked my interest in movies with a more modern-ish take on these creatures. Any good movies you guys recommend that has these fairy tale creatures in them? Could be horror, could be drama, or comedy. Doesn't matter.

Well, there's The Tunnel, a movie based on something "real" about a creature living in abandoned tunnels under a city. It's really freaking scary, one of the best independent horror movies I've seen.

There's The Banshee Chronicles. Maybe you can guess what that's about eh? It's a bit Lovecraftian, in that the way that people see or find these banshee's is through tampering with reality or their perception of it. Pretty solid movie.

The Last Unicorn, Wizards (1977), Willow, The Neverending Story, Labyrinth, Stardust, Enchanted, The 7th Kingdom (miniseries), The Dark Crystal, The Princess Bride, Mirrormask, the varies Terry Pratchet movies (Hogfather, etc).

These are some really good old or 'not so mainstream' fantasy movies. Some may lack fantastical creatures, but I think most of them fit in nicely.

Hah, those cartoons from the 70's are really wierd, almost creepy. Too much acid!

I don't know what you're into, but True Blood has: Vampires, Werewolves, Shape Shifters, Fairys, A Demon (Season 2), A Half vampire/Fairy (season 6).

And it's a TV show...

There is a lot of german movies like that (you need subs of cose).

Isnt that a chick flick type series?

You know the names to any of them?

[Halicia]

Isnt that a chick flick type series?

the novels are, the series... not so much. its somewhere between Game of Thrones and Twilight, so a good show for couples to get into.

if we're going to do TV shows though, I gotta reference Grimm, even if its quality is blah compared to a lot of these movies.
