Well pal, I'm not real sure what you would consider a fairy tale and not, but if it is acceptable, I'd like to nominate the following:
Labyrinth
Time Bandits
The Crow
Sleepy Hollow
I know The Crow is pushing it, so if that isn't what you had in mind, replace it with Willow.

Mike Hutman · Jan 16, 2003

I would say The Crow is alright. I would say it's more of a comic book movie, that has a Fairy tale feel to it(all be it a strange one) So I let it go. Besides I might need it trying to get to 32 movies.

Seconding
Cinderella

I share the increasingly common annoyance with seeing the same titles over and over again. In fact, as much as I love the Lord of the Rings movies, I must admit I wish they weren't in this tourney.

Who said I was angry, though? Where did you get "anger" from? Heart attack... huh?

Take it easy, Chuck. I was being light-hearted about things. You're taking this poll stuff a little too seriously.

Dome-

I edited my post almost immediately after submitting it. You caught my mistake anyway! :b

I saw that. The Big Lebowski? Ridiculous. Anyone think Lebowski also makes a nifty fairy tale?
