It has become increasingly clear that Netflix is not necessarily the best place to be for fantasy or sci-fi movies. Outside of the Netflix original films, there just isn’t much selection for either category. Additionally, two of Netflix’s latest fantasy films, Conan the Barbarian and The Scorpion King, are 46 and 21 years old, respectively. So Netflix isn’t exactly keeping its finger on the pulse of the genre. Fantasy just isn’t getting a lot of attention from Netflix at the moment.
New movies are coming to Netflix later this year that might help fill out the fantasy selection. But until then, fans will just have to rely on us to keep on top of the best fantasy movies on Netflix. Just keep in mind that fantasy films from outside studios tend to only have a short stay on Netflix, so make your movie night plans now.
We’ve also rounded up the best fantasy movies on Amazon Prime and the best fantasy movies on Hulu if Netflix doesn’t have what you’re looking for.
