The Blu-ray.com Community Top Fantasy Films—RESULTS!

[Al_The_Strange]

The good folk of Blu-Ray.com cast their votes on 10 - 30 tales of yore, with their first picked film counting for the most points (25), then each subsequent one worth less points (19, 18, 17...down to 1 for the rest). For lists that didn't have 10 eligible films in total, only 5 points counted for their first pick and the rest counted for 1 point each.

In the event of ties, all films were cast into an abyss to be torn asunder by the goddess of shadows. She determined that the film with more votes was placed ahead. In the event two films had the same number of points and voters, the film with more high-scoring votes was placed ahead.

To honor the winning tales, banners were gathered from artisans of all lands to best represent each tale.
