There have been dozens of fantasy movies produced since 1998. Many of them have done very well at the box office, and some of them have even won awards. Fantasy is a broad genre, and fantasy movies need not involve elves, dragons, wizards, and far-flung kingdoms.

I have sorted through all the fantasy movies produced within the past decade and have rated them all. From those ratings, I have compiled a list of the top 10 fantasy movies released between 1998 and 2007.

10. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

This was the best of all the Harry Potter movies. None of them have really lived up to the books, though they all tried to stay in line with the story.

9. Shrek 2

The second installment of the green ogre's trilogy was the funniest of them all. The first Shrek was good also, but the last one was a big disappointment.

8. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

Johnny Depp was nominated for an academy award for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow. The special effects in this movie were stupendous. The next two "Pirate" installments never lived up.

7. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

This movie had wonderful special effects and the child stars displayed excellent acting skills. And the battle sequences were magnificent.

6. Enchanted

I was surprised this movie was so good. Disney took a classic theme and turned it upside down. And to my delight, they actually did it right.

5. Cars

Even though there wasn't any magic in this flick, I had to classify it as fantasy. What else can you call a world full of talking cars? Good story for kids and adults with great animation.

4. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Were this movie about fifteen minutes shorter, I would have probably ranked it higher. I thought it dragged on a bit longer than it needed. But it was still a great movie.

3. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Peter Jackson did an excellent job with the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The Two Towers had a great ending and great acting from large cast.

2. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

The opening sequence of The Fellowship was enough to make it one of the best movies ever. It had all the action and chemistry of the two sequels. But the opening made me give it the second highest spot.

1. The Green Mile

You might be surprised by this choice, but there's no reason to be. The Green Mile had excellent acting from Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan. It was really a beautiful story and well deserving of the top spot as the best fantasy movie released in the past ten years.
