You know, I love these lists. So many of these really are the unremembered films of my childhood and adolescence, unlike other such compilations aimed specifically at triggering nostalgia these actually work precisely because you really put the effort into finding the things which truly are familiar and forgotten. Well done, man.
Dragon Heart came on the tv when I was home sick as a kid. I fell in LOVE with the movie (and...the dragon lol). I cried for Draco. I love that dang dragon.
Wow. Photographing Fairies is what that movie is called that I definitely thought that was like a fever dream I had. I saw it when I was a little kid and you just unlocked a deep memory.
It was good right up untill his daughter said that essentially the reason why she chose to be asian in heaven was because he weirdly told her about his asian women fetish on a plane once.... How in the hell did that creepyness make it into the movie..? The whole race thing was extremely weird and not well done at all. Just extremely awkward. Imagine being that Asian actress an having to take that dialog seriously without puking..
@@thealphaincel1619 Kind of a weird thing to say to your *daughter* especially considering hes married... Its not like Robin Williams wrote it lol keep in mind its not his logic I am questioning haha
@@hankskorpio5857 I read it as more an inadvertent thing he accidentally let slip and his daughter latched onto it. You know how kids are sponges and you might say something you don't even think about or remember even the next day...but a kid might remember that thing for a long time. You just never know what kids will latch onto or when they're listening. So I think Robin's character said something he probably didn't think twice about on a plane once, letting it slip about how he thought Asian women were pretty. It's not like he set her down and intended to tell her this. Both the daughter and son took on characters in heaven to earn admiration from their father. The son took on the body of Cuba's character because that was a colleague that Robin admired in life (I think I'm remembering that right, it's been years since I've seen it). I think that part is great writing because it's something a father didn't even think he would've said out loud, but it was something his daughter always remembered. And it comes back in this way.
I absolutely adore your channel and these lists. You do such a great job of truly highlighting films that should get the love they deserve. The Little Princess holds such a wonderful place in my heart, as number 1 that made me tear up a little. Keep up the awesome work.
I absolutely adored 'what dreams may come'. Only came upon it during a Robin Williams binge after he died! Couldn't believe I hadn't seen it sooner. I was shocked when I saw how badly the critics panned it.
'I AM THE LAST ONE' (in a faux Connery voice) from DragonHeart is something I quote constantly as a chef when I'm down to the last portion of an item. I'm yet to meet someone who knows what I'm on about.
Dragon heart literally changed my heart and point of view on dragons, when I was a kid. Not to mention Draco warmed me up towards them :) And it stayed with me even now :)
They're still here. Only last year, in 2023: The boy and the Heron, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Poor Things. In 2021: Lamb, Mad God And let's not forget the awesome animated films from Tomm Moore: The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea (Selkies alert!), and Wolfwalkers.
@@wearegeek Nice list! Yeah, the problem is we're still living through the era of these films. So it's harder for people to notice modern movies on the same scale as classics with a certain tone that have stood the test of time
The City of Lost Children was a big influence on the first 2 Fallout games even if it doesn’t look like it at first glance, and it’s the reason Ron Perlman was picked as the narrator.
One that I've always treasured since my youth was Frank Oz's "The Indian In The Cupboard" (based on the series of books of the same name). There's something very beautiful about a story revolving around a boy learning to become a man through the guidance of a tiny plastic Indian (I will forever say it as "PLAS-TEK" like Omri does) who he unintentionally brought to life with his magic cupboard that he got for his birthday
That was a fantastic travel back in time to movies from my childhood I forgot about and some I never knew existed, but are intriguing me now. Thank you, for taking us on this poetic journey
A Little Princess is probably the best kid movie that isn't animated that I have ever seen. When the only children's movies I've seen I could easily stand toe-to-toe with Miyazaki.
"isn't animated"!? 😳You poor soul? You have never heard of the anime adaptation called "Little princess Sara"? That's available in it's entirety on RUclips!? 😳You been missing out!!!!!!!!!!!
I was surprised how hard seeing some of these hit me emotionally.. I did not expect to be as moved as I was seeing the likes of the secret garden or roan inish.....even remembering how I felt at the end of dragon heart hit me. This was a good time capsule of emotions.
Thanks. So much magic and wonder in the movies of my childhood. I have another recommendation...."mousetrap". Very similar style to the "borrowers" about a mouse turning the tables on the people trying to exterminate him from a mansion.
Orlando is my mothers favorite movie I despised it when she forced me to watch it as a child but since then it captivated me in a weird way I'm still not sure what sort of genre it is... also yesss!!! Tilda Swinton is such an excellent actress!
Some very good choices on the list. I doubt very much anyone could have pulled off what Tilda Swinton did in Orlando. Most of the movies have either a great or even better cast. Plus some are almost art with there cinematography & special effects. And a crucial part of any great movie is the story. Which all this bring.
IDK, every decade has a lot of junk that we forget about after putting the good films on pedestals, and there's many a good or great film made now that get drowned in a sea of mediocrity. I think it's mainly the quantity of media that's increased.
@@MagusMarquillin Agreed, but filming styles have also changed so much, giving us fast food movies these days. I was young in '80 and early '90, when I was so easy to impress with new technics, maybe it's also that ^^
21:59 The Girl is Liesel Matthews, born as Liesel Anne Pritzker, a Billionaire and Part of the Pritzker Family who, among other things, own Royal Caribbean Cruises and found the Hyatt Hotel Brand.
I'm impressed that the only films I've seen here are Dragonheart (which at 13 I thought too flawed to want to watch again), Roan Inish, What Dream's may Come, and Pleasantville (all of which I adore). Haven't even heard of Photographing Fairies, though there's a similar film about the girls that came out the same year called Fairy Tale: A True Story that's pretty good with the magical realism having it both ways. I've heard of the others, but you've made me think they're more deserving of a watch soon (with some reservations on the Borrowers) and also read the books they come from.
Both can be true, there's aspects of the sets and costuming that Dante would not have known about in his century. I think there's some Dore's take on Inferno in there for sure, but modernized with some junk metal warriors.
The 90s was such a great decade for quality indie films of all types! Saw half of these in the theater when first released, and the rest are new to me, thanks to your list.
Dragon's Heart? Nothing special?! That's one of the best fantasy movie out there! The dragon in the French version was voiced by Michel Serrault, whose deep yet touching tone really elevated the movie
Interesting list. I can't help but compare to your two 80s fantasy lists and note that there really wasn't any "proper" fantasy movies in the 90s! Between the end of the 80s and The Fellowship of the Ring, I would say that only "DragonHeart" qualifies -- everything else you list I would call "fantastical" but not swords & sorcery fantasy, which you needed two videos to cover from the previous decade!
You're spot on, the 90s fantasy scene just didn't hit the same as the 80s. It feels like studios shifted toward making fantasy movies for a younger audience in the 90s, whereas the 80s gave us a lot of darker, more mature films in the genre. We had so many great fantasy movies in the 80s, but finding high fantasy from the 90s was a real challenge. “DragonHeart” was pretty much the only solid high fantasy film I could find, and the rest of the list does lean more toward fantastical elements and magical realism, like you mentioned. I’m running into the same problem while putting together a list of underrated 90s sci-fi movies for my next video. We got a ton of iconic sci-fi from that decade, but when it comes to hidden gems, a lot of what I’m finding are just B-movies. It’s odd because there were so many amazing sci-fi hits in the 90s, but the underrated options are a lot harder to come by. I know it might not look like it, but this video took almost 120 hours to make. I never include a movie I haven’t watched myself, so a lot of time and effort went into finding the best ones to share. And thank you for watching!
You forgot Hook, Dracula, Groundhogs Day, Army of Darkness, Jumanji, Mathilda, James and the Giant Bitch, Merlin, Green Mile, The Mummy... not to mention all the animated Disney films like Toy Story and Beauty and the Bitch.
I'm just passing a old movie that I'm searching for years now. 2d animation. Two kingdoms, one orange that deforests nature and another blue that lives in harmony with the forest. The orange prince goes to a walk with his counselor, and he's bamboozled by the counselor and is thrown off a waterfall in an assassination attempt, saved by a woman from the blue kingdom. The chubby brother of the orange prince, who is unaware of the assassin's true nature, goes to a tailor with him to prepare clothes for the chubby's (who will be king now) coronation. There's a baby crocodile that cries, and its tears are used by a woman for a vision beyond reach spell. The villain manages to evoke a ancient devil who is defeated by the orange prince kissing the blue woman. Also, there is a scene where the chubby one sing something about he doesn't want to be a king he just wants do eat sandwiches.
What Dreams May Come is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. (I try to avoid sad movies) but it also disturbs me how wrong it is about heaven and hell.
They don’t make good dragon movies anymore. Draco is still my favourite. Saphira from Eragon is my second. Even though that movie was horrible. Never watched very much of games of Thrones, Cus only cared about seeing the dragons. Maybe dragon Queen. That about it. But yeah we need more dragon movies. And tired they always make dragons bad guys. Why not somebody write good movie where dragon is hero? nope. Also wish we got more centaurs in movies/shows too. But that also dead.
An interesting, but confusing collection. Confusing because like always, 10 just aren't enough! Still, I kinda miss 'The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns' in here.
i uh, there was already a feature lengh return of the king out by 1980 and the hobbit in 77, every rental store had a copy. but of course you mean *other* b-movies influenced by literature which hadn't had another reboot, which sounds a lot lamer
Once again the title of this is misleading.Before the lord of the rings? The Lord of the rings movie came out in 1978. The book came out in 1954. Using this as a "benchmark" is also misleading.
No, it's not a video about fantasy in the 90s... it's about UNDERRATED fantasy movies from the 90s, and the movies you named are very well known and acclaimed. Criticizing this video for not featuring those movies is missing the point
Also, The 13th Warrior would not really be classified as a "fantasy" film (though I agree that not all the films on this list are true fantasy either). Instead, it's basically Beowulf with all the fantasy elements drained out of it.
Some of these are barely fantasy in the usual sense and some movies like Orlando are just outright ridiculous and seem to have been included in the list solely to meet some quota.
Wait, what? How is Orlando not a fantasy film from the 90s? Some of the films here are only questionably fantastical, but Orlando is rather explicitly magical. It's a beautiful film too - I saw it on release, and its representation here is hardly just trendchasing.

Dragon Heart came on the tv when I was home sick as a kid. I fell in LOVE with the movie (and...the dragon lol). I cried for Draco. I love that dang dragon.
My mom cried sad then happy tears when Bowen had to kill Draco & his soul finally joined his dragon kin amongst the stars at the end...
@@persephoneblack888 yes watched this growing up with my mom and dad
Wow. Photographing Fairies is what that movie is called that I definitely thought that was like a fever dream I had. I saw it when I was a little kid and you just unlocked a deep memory.
As a 90s kids I really enjoyed this list and most of these films 🖤
What Dreams May Come is so hard to watch without bursting into tears. RIP Robin.
Such an awesome movie
It was good right up untill his daughter said that essentially the reason why she chose to be asian in heaven was because he weirdly told her about his asian women fetish on a plane once....
How in the hell did that creepyness make it into the movie..?
The whole race thing was extremely weird and not well done at all. Just extremely awkward. Imagine being that Asian actress an having to take that dialog seriously without puking..
@@hankskorpio5857 It wasn't a fetish, he said they were most beautiful women in the world, a far cry from being "creepy"
@@thealphaincel1619 Kind of a weird thing to say to your *daughter* especially considering hes married...
Its not like Robin Williams wrote it lol keep in mind its not his logic I am questioning haha
@@hankskorpio5857 I read it as more an inadvertent thing he accidentally let slip and his daughter latched onto it.

So I think Robin's character said something he probably didn't think twice about on a plane once, letting it slip about how he thought Asian women were pretty. It's not like he set her down and intended to tell her this.
Both the daughter and son took on characters in heaven to earn admiration from their father. The son took on the body of Cuba's character because that was a colleague that Robin admired in life (I think I'm remembering that right, it's been years since I've seen it).

My goddness these films are so interesting and unique compared to what we are seeing today!
This is a wonderful list. Did not know almost any of these movies, and I thank you for showing them to us. Also, a great narration as always.
The narration and background music is so perfect.
The Little Princess and the Secret Garden were some of my favourites growing up

I haven't heard for half of this movies , and i considered myself a movie lover. Thank you for this list
'I AM THE LAST ONE' (in a faux Connery voice) from DragonHeart is something I quote constantly as a chef when I'm down to the last portion of an item.
I'm yet to meet someone who knows what I'm on about.
How have these films slipped me by all these years!! Incredible how you do this..
Gotta love that Divinity Soundtrack in this Video, very fitting.
Dragon heart literally changed my heart and point of view on dragons, when I was a kid. Not to mention Draco warmed me up towards them :) And it stayed with me even now :)
Man I watched that movie so many times growing up. Great memories!
I loved the secret Garden when i was a kid. It's nice to look back because the cinematography Is gorgeous. I'm gonna Buy It.
Wow… Where are these kind of movies now.
They're still here. Only last year, in 2023: The boy and the Heron, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Poor Things.

This came into my mind while watching, but couldn't remember the name, so thanks!
We read that book in school when I was a kid. Never got a chance to see the movie, but I remember the previews being on tV
This is a very underrated channel
I remember seeing this in theaters with my parents and it was an absolute fever dream of a movie. Great analysis!
Wow, I love the style you use to present these movies.
I so look forward to seeing these videos pop up on my feed. Every movie mention instills a want/need to watch each one. Thank you for the work you do

Thank you for the recommandations, every video of yours i find at least one film i'm interested in.
Dragon heart and Jurassic Park were my childhood double features. Gotta love giant man eating lizards!
I was lucky enough to have almost every dragonheart action figure as a boy. I'm proud to say Draco never died in my many hours of making up stories. 😂
I love Dina Meyer.
I was surprised how hard seeing some of these hit me emotionally.. I did not expect to be as moved as I was seeing the likes of the secret garden or roan inish.....even remembering how I felt at the end of dragon heart hit me. This was a good time capsule of emotions.
Dragonheart was the one of the few movies my aunt had at her house, and I absolutely adore dragons so it was one of my favorites as a kid.
Great ambient songs. Top selection on this one!
They are mostly from the ost of Divinity Original Sin 2 if you want to listen to them
One was from Witcher 3 I believe.
Orlando is an outstanding film. Swinton is perfection in this role. Direction, script, music; all so spot on
What an era it was for the art of movie making, my god...
Underrated channel
Orlando and city of lost children are on my to-watch list now.
Missed a few of these the first time, I'll have to check them out 😮
Love dragon heart and a little princess I’ve watched and still watch countless times . Legend is another
"what dreams may come" messes me up, especially now that robin is gone.
Thanks. So much magic and wonder in the movies of my childhood. I have another recommendation...."mousetrap". Very similar style to the "borrowers" about a mouse turning the tables on the people trying to exterminate him from a mansion.
Dragonheart blew my mind when I was a kid, I mean the effects mostly hold up after nearly 30 years!
Orlando is my mothers favorite movie
I despised it when she forced me to watch it as a child but since then it captivated me in a weird way
I'm still not sure what sort of genre it is...
also yesss!!! Tilda Swinton is such an excellent actress!

So many childhood memories
I love Dragonheart even to this day! Draco is still my favorite dragon of all time and the reason I love dragons so much. R.I.P. Sir. Sean Connery. ❤

lol, the hell sequence in What May Dreams May Come is inspired by renaissance renderings of Dante’s Inferno… not Mad Max
Both can be true, there's aspects of the sets and costuming that Dante would not have known about in his century. I think there's some Dore's take on Inferno in there for sure, but modernized with some junk metal warriors.

What dreams may come is an amazing movie
This was wonderful. Thank you. I've never heard of 'Orlando', which looks really interesting, and my sister and I loved 'The Secret Garden' as kids.
Before the dark times, before the Green Screen.
Dark City is great too.
Music of Dragon Heart was awesome
'FairyTale: A True Story' also came out in 1997.
You forgot Hook, Dracula, Groundhogs Day, Army of Darkness, Jumanji, Mathilda, James and the Giant Bitch, Merlin, Green Mile, The Mummy... not to mention all the animated Disney films like Toy Story and Beauty and the Bitch.
James and the Giant WHAAAAT?! Beauty and the WHAAAAT?! Either your talk-to-type doesn't like you very much, or you have a strange sense of humour!
What Dreams May Come is hard to watch now that Robin is gone. Especially with the way he left us.
I'm just passing a old movie that I'm searching for years now. 2d animation.
Two kingdoms, one orange that deforests nature and another blue that lives in harmony with the forest. The orange prince goes to a walk with his counselor, and he's bamboozled by the counselor and is thrown off a waterfall in an assassination attempt, saved by a woman from the blue kingdom. The chubby brother of the orange prince, who is unaware of the assassin's true nature, goes to a tailor with him to prepare clothes for the chubby's (who will be king now) coronation. There's a baby crocodile that cries, and its tears are used by a woman for a vision beyond reach spell. The villain manages to evoke a ancient devil who is defeated by the orange prince kissing the blue woman. Also, there is a scene where the chubby one sing something about he doesn't want to be a king he just wants do eat sandwiches.
This is more sci-fi/surrealism than fantasy but a great 90s fantastical film is a little masterpiece called Dark City
No Jumanji? But The Little Princess? Did you misunderstand the assignment?
Jumanji is wonderful I agree with you. But I can't choose it over a little princess 😅
I think it might be harder to classify Jumanji as "underrated" due to its popularity. Most of the films on this list are relatively lesser-known.
What Dreams May Come is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. (I try to avoid sad movies) but it also disturbs me how wrong it is about heaven and hell.
After Rings everything got all flowery and swirly looking.
The characters are simple but complex.
The Secret Garden might possibly be my favorite non-amimated family movie (so far).
I haven't seen the Secret of Roan Inish but it is in my watchlist.
Borrowers 1997 ❌
Arriety 2010 ✅
great movie Delicatessen (1991)

i uh, there was already a feature lengh return of the king out by 1980 and the hobbit in 77, every rental store had a copy. but of course you mean *other* b-movies influenced by literature which hadn't had another reboot, which sounds a lot lamer
All of these lists just make me sad for the current state of cinema. Endless creativity has given way to endless dross

I think they mean the Peter Jackson movie.
Personally, I think the previous format of shorter videos is more comfortable. 20 minutes is a bit long
Before DEI story telling *sigh*
No 13th Warrior, No Army of Darkness, No Princess Mononoke. This isn't a series video about fantasy in the 90's.
