Fantasy in fiction is one of the ways to let your imagination fly and this medium has many examples!
Fantasy is a genre in fiction where creators can let their imagination loose and go with anything. Fantasy films entail a lot of world building and in some cases even extensive world building and even the thinking about the tiniest detail which might seem extreme but is extremely normal in case of fantasy stories. The demarcation however of that subgenre is very important. Many genres that can be considered a fantasy start from epics to even horror in some cases, but these genres are purposefully not included as they are considered separate themselves.
This list includes a range of works that can be considered fantasy and are fantasy adjacent, which means each of the work will contain extensive world building and even details related to building a narrative from the ground in fantasy one of the most important elements is the suspension of disbelief and the blurring of the line between the screen and the audience so the viewers are completely taken by the world and its characters and are completely emotionally invested in the main narrative that surrounds that particular fantasy.
