fantasy is a pretty broad genre tbh. this could include a lot of movies you might not think are fantasy at first consideration. or do you mean specifically like "swords and sorcery" type fantasy?
This. Because my first thought here is "Avengers: Endgame". Although on slightly more reflection I'm leaning towards "Inception".

Infinity War is better than Endgame anyway.

That's a reasonable opinion. The main point is that superhero movies are fantasy movies.

Yeah, without more details that "fantasy" could mean anything from Conan to Avengers to Star Wars. And since they have both Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter in the title it seems like we're going broad here. It's damn near asking "what's the best movie that's not a documentary."

well i guess i'm gonna assume TC meant swords and sorcery type fantasy given the two examples
LotR is epic fantasy, whereas Harry Potter is portal fantasy edging into urban fantasy territory. Neither is S&S fantasy (although Willow is).

What they probably want are fantasy movies that don't clearly fall into some other archetype (so, not horror, not sci-fi/space opera, not superhero, etc.), and for that I'd say The Princess Bride.

i'd say they are both subtypes or at least derivatives of sword and sorcery fantasy
Nah. Tolkein founded modern fantasy, so all of the other subgenres are derivative from epic/high fantasy.
