The Dark CrystalThe Dark Crystal

I pity anyone who hasn't seen this film or doesn't appreciate it. The soundtrack, puppetry, detail, location comes together in such amazing symmetry. Boggles my mind everytime.
LabyrinthLabyrinth
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.89
Fun, whimsical, and David Bowie with a giant mullet.
The NeverEnding StoryThe NeverEnding Story

It plays like the kind of film you can curl up with.
Legend (Ultimate Edition)Legend (Ultimate Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $7.50
Unicorns, goblins, fairies, and a very synthesized 80s soundtrack make this an essential fantasy film to ANY fantasy collection.
Willow (Special Edition)Willow (Special Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $6.19
You're guaranteed to like this film. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It's fun, and it features some great performances!
The Princess Bride (Special Edition)The Princess Bride (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $2.46
A dvd collection without the Princess Bride is not a dvd collection.
Return to OzReturn to Oz
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.99
Underrated little gem of a film which definitely fits within the 80s fantasy genre. There's a great scene with some bodiless "heads" and Fairuza Balk is way too cute to be real.

Good ol' Krull... Had to add that in there for a little Dungeons and Dragon fantasy.
The Last Unicorn [Region 2]The Last Unicorn [Region 2]
