[IIL] Movies with vibes like "Ever After: A Cinderella Story", "Enchanted", "The Secret of Moonacre", "Inkheart" & "The Princess Bride"?

Film

Basically I'm looking for movies like "Ever After: A Cinderella Story", "Enchanted", "The Secret of Moonacre", "Inkheart" & "The Princess Bride" based on the fact that the movies are made about something like a fairytale like love story (or just vibes) and the characters actually have connections with each other (whether romantic or family-like). (don't want a disney live action like cinderella or beauty and the beast tho) Would appreciate if the movie had some pretty gowns or clothing. It kinda helps that there were all made before 2010 too i guess haha.

Stardust comes to mind

Edit: pretty whimsical and doeting but based on a Neil Gaiman book so also reasonably witty, well developed and paced too, its 2007 so meets your timeframe as well

I think you’d love the show Once Upon a Time. I haven’t seen it in a while, but Rags (the Nickelodeon movie) is basically Cinderella with a twist

Ella enchanted?

Penelope (2006) is hella underrated

Also Pushing Daisies (it's a tv series though but it's amazing)

Romeo and Juliet Ever After (w/Drew Barrymore) Stardust

Into The Woods (both the original from the 90s and the more recent one)

I second the suggestion of "Once Upon A Time"

"Fairy Tale Theater" from the early 80s was a lot of fun and covered a ton of different fairy tales. I think it's on YouTube now.

Labyrinth

Once Upon a Mattress (a stage play they made into a movie based on "The Princess and the Pea")

Dragonheart

Willow

Any of the various Robinhood adaptations.

There’s a theatre pro shot for television of the original into the woods broadway production, and it’s amazing!

So this doesn't quite hit the mark, but I think it still sort of fits. The goonies.

If you're ok with animated films, the French director Monsieur Ocelot has movies that fit your description:

Azur and Asmar

Princes and Princesses

One last suggestion that I'm also not sure entirely fits but I still think you might like, the secret garden.

Has to be the 1993 version though. The other remakes are just not in the same league.

It is not quite fantasy, but The Man in the Iron Mask? The one with DiCaprio in a double role.

ladyhawke, legend, labyrinth, and (for something kinda different) the company of wolves.

This is pretty much what I'm into so I'm enjoying all the free recommendations here, lol! What comes to mind for me is Stardust, Ella Enchanted, and maybe Narnia. I personally also LOVE pride & prejudice but I'm not sure if that's your jam. Some that I haven't yet watched but have put on my list are Far from the Madding Crowd, the Secret Garden, and Tuck Everlasting!

LadyHawk, 1985.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Rutger Hauer play cursed lovers. She takes the form of a hawk during the day, he takes the form of a wolf at night. Matthew Broderick does something to help (likely during an eclipse)?
