A list of adventure and fantasy films from the 1920s to very early 80s, films that invoke that feeling of a boy’s own adventure, before the modern age of blockbusters enhanced by or solely dependent on sophisticated technology.

(Mostly) low to medium budgeted adventure series and movies, some steeped in the supernatural and fantastical, but all of them with a large serving of cheese, making them

Sharon Stone and Richard Chamberlain in King Solomon's Mines (1985)

A combination of titles from my previous lists, for fun's sake.

Dinosaurs, Adventurers and Giant Beasties

Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Laura Dern, Sam Neill, Ariana Richards, BD Wong, Joseph Mazzello, Martin Ferrero, and Bob Peck in Jurassic Park (1993)

Sword and Sandal, Medieval and more recent historical war movies.

Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins (1964)

A list of high fantasy and adventure films that I've seen or want to see!

Liv Tyler, Sean Astin, Sean Bean, Elijah Wood, Cate Blanchett, Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, and John Rhys-Davies in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

Roald Dahl is a childhood favorite of mine, and frankly all of his book adaptations have charmed me in some way or another.

Gene Wilder, Paris Themmen, Jack Albertson, Rudy Borgstaller, George Claydon, Julie Dawn Cole, Malcolm Dixon, Walker Edmiston, Günter Meisner, Denise Nickerson, and Peter Ostrum in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)

A list of some of my favourite blockbusters of the 90s in no particular order.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Pantellas in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

Robby Benson and Paige O'Hara in Beauty and the Beast (1991)

A collection of sci-fi films that either I own or want to see!

Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, David Prowse, and Kenny Baker in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)

Some animated films that deserve more interest and attention, or just a second chance if you didn't fancy them the first time round.

Wil Wheaton, John Carradine, Dom DeLuise, Derek Jacobi, Hermione Baddeley, Elizabeth Hartman, and Arthur Malet in The Secret of NIMH (1982)

What's an adventure without some elements of romance, supernatural thrills, sweeping vistas and feel-good moments?

Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman, Wolf Kahler, Ronald Lacey, and Terry Richards in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Great monster movies aren't too common, but there is a serious lack of dinosaur themed films nowadays, don't you think?

All the superhero films I own or have seen.

My personal ranking of the DreamWorks animated movies. Only movies that I've seen or that I like are on this list!
