[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5495070, member: 34175"] I just threw up a little. Movies that have the D&D feel (party of characters, epic fantasy, weird humor): [U]Hawk the Slayer Willow[/U] [U]Krull[/U] (no demi-humans, and horrible music, but still) [U]Monty Python and the Holy Grail[/U] [U]Mulan [/U](yes the Disney version. Okay it may be based on a Chinese myth, but the way they handled the writing, someone was playing D&D during the scripting) [U]Dungeons & Dragons [/U](the Saturday morning cartoon series) - trite yes, but used actual items, monsters and memes from the game - mostly because EGG was in California at the time as a technical adviser. [U]Slayers[/U] - while I don't actually enjoy this series, every episode was based on their running D&D campaign. Evidently some of the dialog was word for word from character encounters. [U]D&D : Wrath of the Dragon God[/U] - No academy awards but at least it was better and truer to the source material than the first one. [U]Conan the Destroyer [/U]- Not as good a movie as the first, but much closer to D&D. (The AD&D module was fairly faithful to the movie too). [U]Legend [/U]- okay so the faeries were almost as tall as Tom Cruise. But Tim Curry as the evil demon - pure freaking magic. Besides, there were different races, magic and a party rescuing the princess (and a unicorn) - sounds like D&D to me. [U]The Dark Crystal -[/U] very much on the fringe but I had nightmares about the skeckies for weeks after I saw that movie. [U]The Neverending Story[/U] - The first one was awesome, I even named one of my early character's Atreyu (the rest don't qualify) Movies mentioned here that DON'T fit : [U]D&D the movie[/U] - utter crap with a thin veneer of marketing - no that's too good a review [U]The Dragonlance cartoon[/U] - Part cartoon, part live action all garbage. And I thought the novels were bad. *rolleyes* [U]Beastmaster[/U] - Both the movie and the TV series. While I liked both, they never felt like D&D to me (maybe more like GURPs). [/QUOTE]
