Best fantasy movies on Netflix

Browse through the Netflix library on your phone and you’ll see loads of genres. Horror, Romance and LGBTQ are all in the genre search. But fantasy seems to have fallen off this list.

There are a whole bunch of classic fantasy films to stream on Netflix, though, and you don’t need a healthy dose of nostalgia to appreciate them all.

Our shortlist of the best fantasy films on Netflix shows the genre is nowhere near as lively as it was in the 80s and 90s. But we think every film on this list is worth a revisit.

Upvote your favourite fantasy flick. And if you spot another classic on Netflix, let us know in the box at the bottom.
