D&D General Best on screen adaptation of D&D

[bedir than]

I have to give a shoutout to The Kid Who Would be King. The group dynamic is vital, characters clearly level up throughout the movie, there's multiple boss fights, a dragon, and Sir Patrick Stewart

Willow is my number one. It delivers many of the D&D tropes right. An «unlikely» adventuring party, a quest, a prophecy, an evil sorceress, the turn coat daughter. And it has lots of humour. Which is a staple of pretty much every D&D group I know of.

Unfortunately the poll went as all polls go. No matter how many options you give (and you have to keep it somewhat limited for various reasons), 90% of the responses are telling you what you should have included as a poll option that wasn't.

It's more a cliffhangers setting but The Mummy (1999) with Brando Fraiser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, and Kevin J. O'Connor is the best roleplaying movie. Hands down. Fight me.

The group dynamics just feels like a RPG group with everyone kind of working together but also doing their own thing.

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

Are we including tv series? If so, I'd go with the Dragon Prince on Netflix and some of Miyazaki's work. As with many thing D&D, I feel that some japanese studios understand the themes of D&D the best. I always felt FF games were the closest thing D&D after the old crpg.

Definitely excels arguably they nerf injured the two weapon ranger so she would be similar level with the untrained wizard (and handed him a magic item to boot) and similar tricks

1. Conan the Barb (original recipe)
2. LOTR (2000)
3. Jason and the Argonauts. Has all the elements.

Honorable non-Classic Fantasy mention: Big Trouble in Little China

Criteria outlined in the OP

Edit which I"m ashamed of myself for totally forgetting about Lodoss War. I mean, it was literally based off of a b/x game...
