It's Princess Bride, but runners up would be The Sword and the Sorcerer and Krull.

I heard Arnold's character was supposed to be Conan but they had to change him to some random barbarian because a different studio had the rights to Conan.

That's tops for me followed by:

Neverending Story
Legend


Are we really counting Goonies as Fantasy? If so, that's probably on my list at the top.
