[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 6513474, member: 3649"] In these kinds of things, I've usually taken to staying away from the obvious top 1, 2 or 3 movies because everyone will simply mention them and nobody learns about anything new :) So I don't mention the Jackson films, for instance. I'd certainly put Willow in there. To me, the requirement for a good [I]D&D[/I] movie, as opposed to 'just' a great fantasy movie, is that it deals with a [I]party of adventurers[/I]. That lets out a lot of the otherwise wonderful Chinese and Japanese movies, which are mainly solo or duo gigs. But that also lets out The Eagle, which I think of as a fantastic example of a D&D film: penetration into unknown lands, where there might be monsters and there are certainly hostile things, to retrieve something. It's hard not to think of the current Vikings series, which is D&D at it's simplest: A group of guys goes out traveling and killing for gold and glory. Mostly gold. [/QUOTE]
