I always liked Sword of the Valiant: The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (1982). It stars Sean Connery as the Green Knight. It's a little cheesy, about like Beastmaster but I've always liked it.
There is one problem: it's not available in widescreen, MGM bastages.

Would Back to the Future be considered a fantasy? If so, I'd definitely include it. It's not like it's a realistic plot, with time travel and all. I wasn't sure what you'd really call it, if you use the term "fantasy" to refer to films with mythical warriors who fight dragons, etc.
