In a world, the trailer might have intoned, where the dung hovel is the standard unit of social housing, a boy on the brink of manhood is all that stands between a great fire-breathing beast and a rather fey cadre of aristocrats bent on offering up their virgins to the monster. Not to be confused with Dragonheart, Dragonlance or Dragon: The Bruce Lee Storyīefore Peter Jackson gave Sword and Sorcery (for it is they) an irresistibly sexy sheen, this 1981 effort took a proudly cod-medieval stomp through damsel/dragon territory, becoming the lodestone of dark-tinged family fantasy. 🦄 The 50 best fantasy movies of all-time 👽 The 100 best sci-fi movies of all-time 💀 The 100 best horror movies of all-time Written by Tom Huddleston, Adam Lee Davies, Andy Kryza, Paul Fairclough, David Jenkins & Matthew Singer Instead, we opted for all the killer rabbits, killer plants, killer fish, killer clowns, killer aliens and killer giant sandworms – and that still made it really hard to pare down. You’re monstrous, but you’re not monsters. Secondly, no humans – apologies to Freddy, Jason, Michael and Henry from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
There are simply too many, and those warrant lists of their own. Putting together this list of the greatest monster movies ever made and keeping it to a reasonable number required putting a few parameters in place.
Obviously, that leaves us with a pretty big field to choose from. Really, there are as many kinds of cinematic monsters as there are individual human fears for them to represent. Some are fast, some are slow, some are gelatinous globs of goo with no defined shape at all. Some are as big as skyscrapers, others as small as slugs.
Movie monsters come in many shapes and sizes.
