Fiction is the most multifaceted anda diverse genre of cinema, because cinema is inherently fantastic! In every second movie there are episodes or moments that have no place in real life. Therefore, it is rather difficult to single out the best films in the fantasy genre.
Pictures of the genre of "fantasy" appear incinematograph quite early in the 20-30s of the twentieth century. However, a concrete impetus for its development was the era of scientific and technological revolution and man's entry into space. New scientific achievements and trends are reflected in the films "Back to the Future", "Terminator" and, of course, "Star Wars". Unfortunately, in the Soviet and Russian cinematography the number of films of this category is not impressive. In the 1960s-1980s, the Amphibian Man, Garin's Hyperboloid, and the beloved Captain Nemo were screened, and a little later Solaris, Guest from the Future, and Stalker, these films can claim the title "Best movies in the fantasy genre" in our Fatherland.
Sci-fi has always been in the near futureNeighborhood with horror films, and in the far 50s a unique subgenre was born - a cinematic hybrid, typical examples of which include "The Invasion of Body Snatchers" (1956) and the naive "Something from Another World" (1951). An interesting fact is that the last frame of one of them read: "Look behind the sky!", As if warning the earthlings about the threat of an alien invasion. Perhaps this moment was the progenitor of the following paintings: "Independence Day" (1996), "War of the Worlds", "Extraterrestrial Invasion: The Battle for Los Angeles" (2011), "Skyline" (2010) and even all three parts " Men in Black". The abundance of such films has generated all sorts of speculation, such as the fact that Hollywood intentionally prepares "soil", i.e. if suddenly the invasion begins, for the majority it will be the "norm". Maybe for this and need movies in the genre of fantasy? And the idea that one day your relatives or acquaintances can be replaced or stolen by aliens not only became a cliche of this subgenre, but is still in operation: "The Fourth Kind", "Gloomy Heaven", etc.
In this chaotic period there are three paintings,which by right have been proud for more than thirty years the proud title "The best films in the genre of fantasy." They spawned not only several successful sequels and prequels, but also an incredible number of imitative filmmakers. Techniques and cliches of these masterpieces are still regularly roaming from picture to picture. Unparalleled in the effectiveness and power of emotional influence, George Lucas's epic "Star Wars" is still considered to be the epic, it has repeatedly confirmed its cult status. But the main achievement of this creation is that the film enriched the fantastic genre with one essential factor, it made it simply entertaining and consistent with the principles of Hollywood: unambiguous moral judgments, entertainment and simplicity. Literally two years later, there is another creation - "Alien" Ridley Scott, he was gloomy and even claustrophobic, and here was another combination of science fiction with horror films. The next cult project is a futuristic thriller "Running on the razor's edge" of the same inimitable Ridley Scott, who immediately refers to critics as "Best movies in the genre of fantasy." The picture is full of magnificent frames and incredible (for that time) special technical effects.
Qualitative leap forward, translated fantasticfilms in the category of high-grade cinema, is considered S. Kubrick's film "Space Odyssey 2001". The director did not attack the abundance of "space mutants" and "green men", he approached the film with documentary certainty, developing the theory of biological immortality and making the computer the main villain. So, gradually the content of the film is coming to the fore in the fantastic cinema, the semantic load, after all, whatever it is, all the incredibility displayed on the screen requires comments and explanations. Here you can not do with a shocking makeup and expensive special effects, decorations. Therefore, like mushrooms after the rain begin to march on the screens of the world of catastrophe films, which unambiguously make the viewer think. The list of films in the fantasy-catastrophe genre is endless: "Hurricane Hell", "Tornado", "Dante's Peak", "Earthquake", "Armageddon", "Meteorite", "Collision with the Abyss", etc.
Is it possible to enact the adaptation of famous talesto science fiction? The question is rhetorical. Think for yourself, films like Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Alice in Wonderland, The Lord of the Rings, The Cities of Ember, The Chronicles of Narnia, Gary Potter, Star Dust, The Golden Compass and "Maleficents" - this is a continuous fantastic fantasy. Modern screen versions make it so spectacular and exciting that both children and adults can learn something new for themselves, and some of them can be called - the best films in the genre of fantasy. Having talked about fairy tales, it will be appropriate to mention comics too, because in them the main character has a whole set of fantastic abilities. A vivid example of fantasy paintings based on comic books were "Superman", "Batman", "Spider-Man", "Avengers", "Iron Man", "People X" and others.

Kinozhanr fiction for a long time does not give up the position, the novelties of the cinema: "Lucy", "Transformers", "Planet of the Apes", "Excellence", "The Face of the Future" serve as a confirmation.
