AFI's "10 Greatest Fantasy Films: The 50 Nominees"

The American Film Institute’s official 50 nominees for the Top 10 Fantasy Films of All-Time (to be announced June 17, 2008)

"AFI defines “fantasy” as a genre where live-action characters inhabit
imagined settings and/or experience situations that transcend the rules of
the natural world. "

"By presenting dreamlike realms where fairies flourish, witches scheme
and pigs fly, fantasy demands that audiences believe in magic and hope
for wishes to come true."
