There were many good fantasy movies in the 80's, Not counting animation: Indiana Jones series, The princess bride, Willow, Legend, Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Labyrinth, The dark crystal, The neverending story, Ladyhawke, Conan, Flesh+Blood. 

It did get better in the 2000's, LotR stands out, Big fish, The fall, Pan's labyrinth, but what do we have currently? Pure fantasy movies are very rare nowadays. I guess 10 years of Harry Potter has sucked the imagination out of the fantasy movie industry. It's all superhero movies now.

Sci-fi is doing better atm. Many more sci-fi movies to enjoy than fantasy.

I wouldn't really call Indiana Jones fantasy, but I could be wrong. I wasn't really a fan of any of thse other 80s movies tbh. I think Sci-Fi had a much better run.

Sci-fi has always been better imo, I just think pure fantasy is worse off nowdays. Sci-Fi is not as strong either, but is doing much better than fantasy.

And yes the 80's had a better sci-fi run with Star wars, Aliens, Brazil, Wrath of khan, Voyage home, Terminator, Back to the future, Dune, Tron, The Abyss, Lathe of heaven. And the 90's only got better.

Yea, fantasy has been weak in TV/movies nowadays. The only thing doing it justice now is Supernatural which is pretty nice.
