What are the best fantasy TV shows and movies?

And followup question: why are there so few of them??

I LOVE the escapism of fantasy, but mostly I have to find it in books, because the movies and TV shows I see tend to be A) too cheesy, B) poor production/effects quality, C) way overly dramatic, or D) some combination of the above.

Aside from Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, what are other good fantasy movies and shows to get into? I'm specifically looking for things that are more high fantasy, not stuff like Vampire Diaries or whatever that, while it falls in the fantasy category, doesn't really transport you to another world.

And why are there so few, compared to SO MANY apocalyptic/postapocalyptic ones? Do you think with how popular Game of Thrones is, we'll start to see more good fantasy?
