Purple Star emoji 13 items
If you’ve burned through Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Willow, and you’re still craving more fantasy, this list is for you. 

I tend to prefer my fantasy a bit more than surface level magic and elves, and I've dug deep to find some fantasy movies that somehow flew under the radar—films with jaw-dropping visuals, bold world-building, and stories that deserve way more love than they got. Some are animated, some are indie, some are weird, but every single will make an impact. So if you’re in the mood for secret kingdoms, offbeat heroes, and a little magic you haven’t seen before, here’s what to watch next.
