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

[Ralif Redhammer]

Not bad at all. Between the three of them, you have:

Elves
Dwarves
Rangers
Wizards
Barbarians
Fighters
Thieves
Orcs
Goblins
Halflings
Magic Rings
Magic Swords
Cloaks of Elvenkind
Fire-breathing dragons
Bal....ors
Wraiths
Treants
Raise Dead
Polymorph
Flesh to Stone
Telekinesis
Adventuring Parties

And I'm sure there's more I'm missing

It appears EN World has decided that if I wanted to watch fantasy movies that best represent what D&D is like, Willow, LoTR, and Conan the Barbarian are the way to go.

Solid choices, actually.

Adventuring Parties

And I'm sure there's more I'm missing

Giant freaking snakes!
Evil cults
Trolls (two different kinds)
Pixies
Quite literally "kill them and take their stuff"
witches
Epic small party based battles
Heroic and wacky stunts
Sarcasm. Lots of sarcasm

Wait. Did we give good advice? That can't be right.

I think the foray into the cave toward the end of 13th Warrior is a pretty good depiction of how I imagine D&D.

Other: Guardians of the Galaxy best represents my experience of the game.

Agree, certainly closely resembles a typical adventuring party.

 

[Baron Opal II]

Conan the Barbarian, Voyage of Sinbad (that's the one with Tom Baker as the evil wizard, right?), Hawk the Slayer, and the 13th Warrior.
