While every decade has a unique spin on the fantasy genre, there's some enduring and nostalgic about the 2000s. Though the 1980s are typically remembered as a breakthrough era for sci-fi and fantasy, the 2000s will likely go on to be considered an equally influential period of filmmaking. Some of the most iconic franchises, like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, were released throughout the 2000s.
Charlie Cox and Claire Danes star as Tristan and Yvaine, but they're only two of the stacked cast that balances the humor and action of Stardust. Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer are at their best as raucous heroes and villains who lend their considerable reputations and skills to the work. Though Stardust wields its tongue-in-cheek humor well, this doesn't take away from the emotional heart of the story, which keeps the audience rooting for Tristan and Yvaine.
Ewan McGregor and Billy Crudup star as Edward and Will, the father and son who attempt to connect with each other throughout Big Fish. Their relationship takes center stage in the film, but the gorgeous sets and beautiful costuming that Burton is known for help transport the audience to an incredible world.
