A brilliant but bizarre interpretation of Carroll's classic. Not the only one by Svankmajer that melongs on the list.

Another great one by Svankmajer. A dark and urbanized version of the classic "changeling" - or something like.

Dark, disturbing, and magical.

Incredible! Very different from the book, but huge fun.

Yet more by Gaiman - a magical city, overlaid with our own, but incredibly distant.

Beautiful story telling in the classic form - from back when fairy tales were too important for children.

If you were a boy or know a boy, it's pure magic. If you are a boy, you might be too close to the magic to see it. If you don't know anything about boys, you might not get it.

Like "The Kid," another boy thing. A whole different take on the grownup/kid tension. (Sorry girls, you'll have to write your own list with more girly stuff on it.)

Harryhausen - at the time, did more to bring fantasy to life than had ever been done before.

Mysterious meanings, a complex vision of a simple man.

Definitely meant for kids, but you'll be rolling off your seat anyway - maybe more than them.
