Yikes getting down there! Hard to decide which to downvote. Clash of the Titans gets a knock from me because of its over-reliance on the gods - never something I cared for in my D&D games. Fun movie, love watching it, but as far as D&D movie goes gets a bit of a knock from me. Conan - oh man is it going to be tough. Conan the Barbarian (1981) may be my PERFECT D&D movie. But I still got to give it up for Krull, which I did not grow up watching but have discovered in the past few decades as an absolute gaming movie treat. Except for the Glaive. Why did you have to call it the Glaive?!?!

Why did you have to call it the Glaive?!?!

Because guisarme-voulge was too much of a mouthful?

Monty Python has its own RPG ruleset, so... Whittling down to some interesting choices. I've been trying to judge them on having a classic quest to defeat BBEG along with magic, monster(s), and at least one test requiring ingenuity to resolve. Holy Grail, no BBEG, though like some D&D campaigns the game abruptly ends and you don't get to complete your epic quest.
