Message: <blockquote data-quote="wingsandsword" data-source="post: 4950438" data-attributes="member: 14159">I always figured that the Lord of Blades and his followers in Eberron was a veiled fantasy Nazi parallel (then again, I always saw Eberron as a fantasy version of 1920's Europe, with the Last War being WWI).As to the topic at hand, my "in the mood for D&D" movies:Lord of The Rings (all 3, this is the most obvious one to me)Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (never saw the TV series mentioned here, but it sounds good, since I haven't seen it I'll have to go with this)Gladiator (all Fighters all the time. . .)Conan The Barbarian (not just for Barbarian goodness, but the theft from the temple is probably the best film example of a classic D&D-style thief adventure)Willow (probably the only Halfling Wizard in mainstream fantasy film <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )The Slayers (probably the closest to "D&D the Anime" you'll ever get, better at getting the actual flavor of a typical D&D campaign than even Lodoss War, which is more like a D&D novel turned into a movie.)300 (what happens when an Epic-level Fighter (or Fighter/Marshal) and his followers take on hundreds of thousands of low-level warriors lead by an epic level fighter who thinks he's a demigod)Princess Mononoke (among other things, a good example of the Taint mechanic from Oriental Adventures, Unearthed Arcana, and seen in other versions in Heroes of Horror and Book of Vile Darkness, that and the characters in it easily translate to D&D characters.  Jigo is a Rogue/Monk, Ashitaka is a Ranger/Fighter, San is a Barbarian, Lady Eboshi is an Aristocrat)</blockquote>
