io9: Walk through this portal with me into another world

The “portal fantasy,” where somebody walks through a magical door (or wardrobe) into a fantasy world, has become a terrible cliche. So why do we keep walking through those portals and loving the hell out of it?

I <3 portal fantasies.  Narnia, I’m looking at you, you started this for me! Inkheart you also get a big highfive.  Stargate, why aren’t there more caps of you on Beautiful Portals?  Pan’s Labyrinth, I need to rewatch you.
