I have to agree with Marianne that "Ladyhawke" is a fine fantasy film. So are the two parts of LOTR that I have seen ("Fellowship" and "Return of the King"). Can we call "Time Bandits" fantasy? I think so, and I love that film. I'd also like to mention "Time After Time" (1979), starring Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen, in which H. G. Wells finds himself in contemporary San Francisco chasing after Jack the Ripper and finding love in the process. Great film.

Edit to add "7 Faces of Dr. Lao" (1964), which concerns a mysterious Asian circus in the old west. This is a George Pal film and great fun.
