Showdown mythical

For this Showdown we’re looking for your top 10 films set in mythical lands, and we hope you’ll explore beyond Middle Earth. Some guidelines: space itself is not mythical, but we will accept imaginary planets (we’re ordering in from the Restaurant at the End of the Universe as we speak). Realistic fictional settings don’t count; we know you know what we mean (Zubrowka could be real enough). We want the greatest fantasy locations ever created for film: spirit worlds, dream lands, floating towns, lost islands and sunken villages. Wakanda forever.
