Happy New Year to you all! I pray each and every one of you is blessed in 2020 with good health and good cheer!

We Quills decided we would open the year with a post about our favorite fantasy movies. (Those that come in a series, count as a single selection.)

Let's find out if he took some time out to watch some great movies. Even if not, we're about to learn of some of his favorite selections. Parker?

I hope you had a wondrous holiday celebration with your family and friends, Robin.

It did, however, make the task of narrowing the selection down to three fairly formidable. There are “the greats,” of course: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games (in that order), but they’re so obvious. What about the other stuff? What about the also-really-great movies like…

Oooh, now it's my turn! Have you any idea what movies I might have chosen?

Of course, the most obvious choice of all, is Lord of the Rings. So much so, that I’m not going to include it as one of my three choices. Indeed, the LOTR trilogy is in a category all of its own. Yes, it is a great story. Still, that is not the draw for me. I am most taken with . . .
