Pan's Labyrinth: a 12-year-old girl in 1944 Spain goes to live with her pregnant mother and "evil" military stepfather, shortly after the end of the Spanish Civil War. The girl, who finds refuge in fantasy stories, discovers an ancient magical labyrinth. Fauns, fairies, and monsters abound as she tries to gain entrance to the kingdom guarded by a faun (below). I'm assuming the faun is Pan. Directed by "The Devil's Backbone" director, Guillermo de Toro, and is rated R. Supposedly it's a thematic sequel to that movie, which is perhaps the most poignant ghost story I have ever seen (and the only horror movie I've rented several times). Very critically acclaimed and is up for Best Foreign Film at the Golden Globes. 8.4 rating on IMDb, #155 on the top 250.
