Those were my top 2 as well. I went with The Two Towers. Hard to say why haha. If both were on TV at the same time, I'd put on The Two Towers.

Went with two towers. Tough between the two LOTR and Pirates.

I haven't seen Pirates again in a long time. I've watched LOTR numerous times. There's a reason.

[jetsfan4life51]

Two towers, Prestige and PoA are probably all in my top 10 all time.

[Ozzy]

All the way......

 

 

The Two Towers is very good no doubt but in terms of an individual movie Pan's Laybrinth is better.  Hard for a single movie to go up against an entire series of movies though.  The Prestige is an awesome movie also but is not as fantasy based as some others are.

Avatar gets treated too harshly.  Everyone knows they loved that movie the first time they saw it.  Still, Pan’s Labyrinth is better.  Might hold my vote for a second though.

I hated it. I understand I am in the minority here but I was thoroughly uninterested in the story, felt the characters were bland, and thought the pacing was trash. I think my lack of interest in the plot and it's beaten to death message affected my opinion of the pacing. 

 

Sure was pretty though

I still haven’t seen Avatar. Pirates was fun, but this is between one of the LOTR movies and Pan’s Labyrinth.

Not sure which way I’ll be going yet.

I hated it as well, just the idea of the characters for me.  Ok they are super tall but very human like, have primitive weapons and carry spears and such, all have dreadlocks, long ears and are blue?  What they are supposed to be all some skinny model physically?  Not to mention the wardrobe which is just a cloth to cover private parts very ummm... The Pocahontas similarities are pretty right on and sadly so, thus I do not find it a creative film and this visual marvel at all.  And have humans become avatars and walk around and have the same face they had as a human but blue, honestly it just sucked and I have never watched it again since the first time I watched it.  Super overrated and pretty crap so I am glad of the lack of any major attention it has gotten throughout this entire process.

Still haven't seen Avatar and it's well down on my list of movies I want to catch up on, so I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Pan's labyrinth and it isn't even close, as much as I loved the first pirates move and the Lord of the rings movies Pan's labyrinth legitimately made me cry.

Agreed, it is visually awesome and the story is extremely unique.  Absolutely fits the category 100%, the rest just kind of fit but are more action/adventure films with fantasy aspects.  Pan's Labyrinth makes The Shape of Water look like a piece of **** honestly, if anything should have a Best picture and Best director Oscar it is Pan's Labyrinth.
