Fantasy movies are full of magic, swords, creatures, and so forth... but what would they be without beards? The word "fantasy" alone likely has you imagining a wizard right now, and we'll bet every gold piece in our purse that the wizard you are picturing has a beard.
Wizards, knights, talking animals, they've all got beards of some sort, and they're all a part of fantasy cinema. Not all beards are created equal, however; some are more magical than others. Some of them may carry nostalgic value, too.
