I just watched the second D&D movie, Wrath of the Dragon God, and I was struck by how much fun it was. It wasn't great, and suffered from a lot of clunky storytelling and really poor pacing, but I think the essence was there, even if it was WAAAAY heavyhanded ("you five champions are being sent out on a quest to save the kingdom!"). Much, much better than the first and third movies.
I liked Seventh Son as well, with Jeff Bridges as the last of an order of knights dedicated to stopping witches. He finds the seventh son of a seventh son and together they fight the forces of a reborn witch queen. Fun effects, and though Jeff Bridges has a weird accent that makes him hard to understand at times, it's still a fun fantasy romp that makes me want to play D&D.
For me, when I want to get in the mood to play D&D, I watch Willow and Conan the Barbarian. These two just ooooooze the kind of cheesy fantasy silliness and seriousness that can make a game so much fun.
