Okay, so we have the thread in which people name their favorite fantasy movies, now I've started a thread in which people can put their favorite sci-fi/fantasy/horror animated movies. They can be both American and Japanese animation.
Personally, my favorites are, in no particular order:
Ralph Bakshi's "Wizards" (I saw this movie last year around Christmastime and thought it was great! I absolutely loved the badass ending! For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, you'll know it when you see it.
The ending is so simple, yet it hits you like a bolt of lightning! :eek: )
"The Hobbit" (There are many here that would disagree with me on this, I know, but I thought this movie was pretty good, it might not have been as adult in tone as the book it was based on, and I agree that the elves were blasphemously misinterpreted, but it was still pretty good. One minor note though, if you see the animated Hobbit, do not, I repeat DO NOT see the animated versions of Lord of the Rings and Return of the King!! Avoid them at all costs! They are utter crap! And a lot of people here could vouch for me on that!)
"Vampire Hunter D" (By far the best Anime movie I've ever seen!)
"Akira" (Very good. It's a little on the wierd side, but very good.)
"Ghost in the Shell" (How many times do I have to tell the prudes out there that the nudity is non-erotic! :D )
"Blue Submarine No. 6" (Very original action-packed, touching, emotional movie, I absolutely balled my eyes out at the end!)
"Metropolis" (Once again, like Blue Submarine No. 6, a very original, action- packed, touching emotional Anime movie. Based around the old "Astroboy" series. I didn't ball at the end of this one, though! ;) )
