[edit] That's weird. People can read the missing ones in the description like you've already done (maybe with IMDb links), without having to read the original source. Yet another list people can't complete unless they check off films they haven't seen (which the admins don't want users to do.)
@russa03: so I did when I first added the list to iCM, but when I got the adoption request, the list moderators explicitly asked me to include them. Like one of them said in the new lists thread on the forum: "I want iCM to be a good source of information about lists, so people should be able to see the original list on iCM without having to look at the original source."
Echo the fast and lose inclusion of too many non-fantasy films on this list as well as the aggravation of the numerous lost films on it. Why are they even on the source list if they're lost? Love to find out, but the source link is returning a 404 so can't even go gripe on there about it. Surely there are better fantasy lists to make official.
I can see the debate on including the Lost Films or not. As someone looking to complete lists, not just as a source of reference I do not like it.
But more importantly, how are they included when the person making the list obviously has not seen them? All I believe are one listers, so it isn't from critical acclaim that followed them.
My problem with this list is that it not only contains many non-fantasy movies, but that it contains some really bad fantasy movies (e.g. Jabberwocky and The Golden Compass) that should not be on any top list.

Too many non-fantasy films on this list. You can only dilute the definition of a genre so much ...russa03
Probably should take off the lost films.[edit] That's weird.

Pretty Woman? Is this the best fantasy list they could find?Gershwin

Lots of weird choices, Burton's horrible Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but not the original? And how is something like Blue Velvet fantasy at all?Armoreska
