The Return of the King was good until the Army of the Undead appeared at Pelennor to do a Deus ex Machina mop up of the forces of Mordor. What a total cop out. Thing is that Jackson didn-t even find the Army of the Undead to be plausible or believable when he read the books, yet he included them in the most ham-fisted way possible.
Things the film omitted or did wrong
1. Eowyn identity. It would-ve been great drama to have her identity hidden as in the books until the moment she decides to take on the witch king. Theoden lay there watching it all in horror.
2. The witch king casting a spell on Grond (the bettering ram. The entire battle stopped because of the tension. No one knew what he was saying (it was long forgotten words. Three times he uttered the spell and three times Grond slammed into the gate of Gondor. Then he ride in alone, fully confident and proud of his achievement as no enemy had ever breached the gate of Gondor.
3. The turning of the sails when Aragorn arrives. The collapse of morale among the men of Gondor and the opposite for the orcs. Then the sails turn and morale shifts. Tolkien spent three paragraphs describing this event

Pan's Labyrinth isn't what I would call High Fantasy.
Warcraft had amazing CGI. It was a beautiful movie, but the storyline sucked.
LoTR trilogy is obviously amazing, but as many people have suggested, I believe all three movies should have been listed in one spot.
Some other recommendations: The Princess Bride, Stardust, The Never Ending Story, Labyrinth (just Labyrinth, not Pan's Labyrinth, The Last Unicorn, the Harry Potter movies. There are a lot more. I just can't think of them off the top of my head. The Princess Bride, The Never Ending Story, and Labyrinth are older movies, so they don't have those amazing CGI effects and creatures, but they have great stories and I don't think they suffer at all for not having CGI. Labyrinth has amazing puppets from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, which I still find charming even if they aren't as seamless as CGI. The Last Unicorn is animated. All of these are better than Warcraft and Pan's Labyrinth, imo.

there was no use of including Lord of the rings in the list. Almost everyone has watched them. you should add movies that we have never heard of. Thats tricky video to grab the views.

You may as well have just had a top 3 and to be fair they should be regarded as one movie. Return of the King would not be what it was without the other two.

Of the LOTR, the absolute gem, literally towering over the prequel and the sequel, is The Two Towers. An absolutely perfect movie.
