My favourite fairytales to make the silver screen
I’ve picked our top ten all time favourite fairtytale stories to be made into big screen films, listed below. I saw a lot of similar lists but my list is better than the others.  :)

                                                                              1.Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

Why we love it:We think their first instinct was, there are such iconic images in the Wizard of Oz movie, it would be wrong for them to re-create the Yellow Brick Road or the Emerald City in a different way. They had to go 180 degrees in the other direction. They're just going to have to make their own Oz. James Franco doesn’t act, he is the Wizard of Oz. We loved the movie!!!

2.Stardust
Why we love it: Based on the Neil Gaiman novel of the same name, Stardust is an epic tale of young man in search of a falling star for the woman he’s in love with. Romantic, adventure and with plenty of unicorns (as well as a steller cast including Clare Danes, Robert De Niro,and Ian McKellen), Stardust will transport you to a different world.

3.Alice in Wonderland
Why we love it: Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There books, Tim Burton’s 2010 film is one of the most visually stunning works we’ve ever seen. With Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and the voice of Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat, this film is a psychedelic, star-packed 3D thrill ride.
4.The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Why we love it: One of our favourite, The Wizard of Oz holds a sentimental place in many hearts. A fantastical world of munchins, yellow brick roads and flying monkeys - Dorothy and her friends are some of the best characters to ever grace the silver screen. We travelled back in time.
5.Red Riding Hood
Why we love it: Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood is the visual feast you’d expect. With a torrid love triangle, a mysterious werewolf terrorizing a medieval village and Amanda Seyfried as the lead, Red Riding Hood is one film we were excited.

            6.Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
Why we love it: We loved tale of mystical side.There are funny scenes in the film.If the very title has you rolling your eyes, don’t even bother. If, however, it makes you think you’d like to see the further adventures of the fairy tale characters, by all means take a chance


7.The Chronicles of Narnia
Why we love it: Based on CS Lewis’ seven book series, The Chronicles of Narnia films are an enthralling watch. The fantasy world of Narnia looks exactly we imagined it from reading the books when we were younger with the help of a CGI-generated Aslan the lion (voiced by Liam Neeson), and the brilliantly played Pevensie children.
8.Jack the Giant Slayer
Why we love it: It’s a very traditional fairytale, probably the most traditional thing We’ve ever read.The cast gives their all, especially Nicholas Hoult. Here he brings to Jack the same charm.We feel that he he has the capability and likability to carry a movie as the lead role. The giants were pretty interesting too. In a way, they reminded us of the trolls in last year’s “The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey,” as they are excessively gross, uncivilized and high-tempered. We like it.
9.Ever After: A Cinderella Story
Why we love it: We’ve long been fans of Drew Barrymore, and she’s fantastic as ever in Ever After as Danielle, the daughter of a Baron who has been forced to work as a maid in her father’s household after he passes away. From evil step sisters to a surprising friendship with Leonardo da Vinci, this is one of our favourite versions of Cinderella.
10.Enchanted
Why we love it: We love the tounge-in-cheek nature of Disney’s Enchanted. Starring Amy Adams as Princess Giselle who finds herself trying to make story-book love survive in modern day New York, this film is a classic Disney fairytale with a modern day twist.
