Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)

A young girl in Franco-era Spain discovers a labyrinth guarded by strange creatures and a faun who might be guiding her to freedom — or doom. Guillermo del Toro’s dark masterpiece fuses fantasy and war into something both terrifying and tender. The visuals are haunting, the emotions devastating, and the message unforgettable. This is the rare fantasy film that’s both enchanting and deeply human.
