If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you have access to Prime Video and the ability to explore fantasy worlds without leaving your couch. Whether it's the land of Thra from The Dark Crystal or The Lord of the Rings' Middle-earth (the movies aren't streaming anymore, but the Amazon prequel show is still an option), some sumptuous feats of imagination are waiting in the streamer's library.
Standalone Prime Video is also available through a $9 monthly subscription, and it costs $3 extra to remove ads. If you need a film, here are some fantastic fantasy finds.
Guillermo del Toro's mesmerizing 2006 dark fantasy follows a young girl living with her mother and a cruel military officer in 1944 Francoist Spain. But that reality soon grows to include fairies, a peculiar faun, a huge toad and more otherworldly creatures. Often earning a spot on lists of the best fantasy films ever, Pan's Labyrinth is a film meant for adults that is at times bleak, moving and magical.
Want a film that pairs Chris Pine with an epic heist? With a star-studded cast, plenty of humor and easter eggs for audiences familiar with the classic tabletop roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a great time.
The Green Knight is an A24 film starring Dev Patel, which could be all the information you need if you like the entertainment company or the Oscar-nominated actor. Patel plays King Arthur's nephew, Sir Gawain, on a creepy and frequently bleak quest to slay the titular mythical foe.
In Jim Henson's iconic dark fantasy film, a young Gelfling named Jen -- seemingly the last of his kind -- must go on a harrowing quest to save the world from the villainous (and unfortunate-looking) Skeksis. The movie features animatronic puppets, but no human characters.
Puppets also steal the show in the cult classic Jim Henson film Labyrinth. A teenage girl named Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) faces goblins, their king (David Bowie) and a maze as she tries to rescue her baby stepbrother. Both Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal count as family fare, though Labyrinth will probably inspire fewer nightmares.
