"To spotlight the best of what this beloved genre has to offer, Stacker set out to find the best fantasy movies that came out each year, from 1921 to 2020. To do so, we compiled data from IMDb on all feature-length fantasy movies released during those years and found the top film from each year based on IMDb user ratings as of Jan. 27, 2021. With the exception of some years in the 1920s, in which there weren't films over the minimum vote threshold, fantasy movies released from 1921 to 1990 had to have at least 2,500 votes to make Stacker's list. Meanwhile, fantasy films released between 1990 and 2020 needed to have at least 5,000 votes to be counted. So sit back, pop some popcorn, and read on to find out the best fantasy film from the year you were born."
