Finding great fantasy movies on Netflix is a bit of a fantasy in and of itself. The king of the streamers neglects this category, and it also relies heavily on Universal Pictures’ catalog to bail out its shortcomings. That’s why it’s The Scorpion King and Van Helsing‘s turn to be on this list while Conan the Barbarian waits for yet another Netflix return.

Even this month’s third addition, The Covenant, is closing in on 20 years. Netflix has made some original fantasy movies of its own, but not lately. For the most part, the best fantasy movies on Netflix are pretty stagnant. But when something new arrives, we’ll be here to add it to the list.
