These are the 7 best fantasy movies of all time via IMDb
1. Monster House
12-year-old DJ lives in a typical suburb. The street is filled with front yards and families with children. But one house and front yard stand out: The property of Nebbercracker is dark and mysterious. Everything that lands in the front yard seems to disappear mysteriously.
One day, DJ and his friend Chowder are playing basketball, and through an incident, they find out that the house is a living monster that eats everything that lands on the property.
This movie is pretty close to horror, but it always presents it in a fun atmosphere and deals with core themes such as loss, grief, and letting go.
2. Hotel Transylvania
Hotel Transylvania is a hotel in the town of the same name, but instead of being inhabited by normal people, the place is a refuge for all kinds of monsters who want to vacation. The staff also consists of classic monsters like Frankenstein, the mummy, or Dracula, who built the place to protect his daughter.
But Dracula’s daughter now has a human boyfriend, and Dracula tries everything to get rid of him.
The film mainly relies on slapstick humor with the various monsters and tells a story about acceptance and family, and it should actually offer something for every age.
Meanwhile, there are 4 films and an animated series in the franchise.
