sup /tg/, I want to watch a bunch of fantasy movies in the coming weeks to hopefully get some inspiration. Post and discuss your favs, one of mine is pic related.
Have you tried lotr
I am monitoring this thread.
>>46617822
Living in a third world country is the only excuse for not having seen lotr
>>46617835
Do you like this one Anon?
>>46617683
Ironclad and Black Death were pretty cool
>>46617683
The Last Unicorn
>>46617683
Excalibur for always
>>46617878
>>46617877
>implying third worlders don't just watch a few certain movies all the time
>>46617947
What do ya like then?
In no particular order:
> Army of Darkness
> Stardust
> The Princess Bride (read the book, too)
> Beowulf (yes, the 2007 creepy eyed version)
> Highlander (just the first one)
> The Mummy
> Dragonheart
> The Dark Crystal
> Willow
> Howl's Moving Castle
> Spirited Away
> Princess Mononoke
> Time Bandits
> The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
> MirrorMask (for the visuals)
> Heavy Metal (the original)
Enjoy.
>>46617964
I kid. 13th Warrior was great.
Anyone interested in fantasy movies should check out Krull.
Dragonslayer, Hawk the Slayer, Ladyhawke, Kull the Conqueror, Krull.
I personally rate Hawk for glorious cheese, and Dragonslayer because it's actually really good and has Palpatine in it.
>>46617683
Can't go wrong with Stardust.
It's among the only adaptations that diverged wildly from the source that I didn't reee over.
>>46617911
Paul Giamatti plays a king? This I gotta see.
And Sean Bean in the next one? My nigga.
>>46617930
Liam Neeson? On the list it goes.
>>46617998
Shit, I've been meaning to check out Highlander for forever.
Thanks for the recommendations guys. Keep them coming and feel free to talk about why you like them.
>>46617683
That's my favourite movie desu but you could also check out beowulf and grendel to get an idea about the common hero slays the menacing monster story.
>>46617878
Why is Antonio Banderas so good in arab roles ?
>>46617683
Here's the movie list to get you running fantasy right:
Labyrinth
Princess Bride
Flight of Dragons
The Neverending Story
Camelot (the film w/ Harris & Redgrave)
Beauty and the Beast (Disney)
The Witches
The Wizard of Oz
Adventure and a sense of wonder. No gritty, dark violence. Whimsy, drama, heroics!
>>46617877
My entire family in Ethiopia has seen Lord of the Rings. They're some of my cousin's favorite films.
However they are all relatively wealthy.
>>46617930
Forged when the world was young, and bird and beast and flower were one with man, and death was but a dream!
>>46617923
This. My anon.
Never see Fire and Ice mentioned in these recommendation threads, shameful 2bh family
>>46620516
It's a really neat project collaborated on by some real heavy-weights of the genre.
But all that talent behind it is just fucking wasted on a screenplay that's so god-damn "blah."
The Fall.
It was recommended to me in one of these threads and now I can't recommend it enough.
>>46617683
Highlander is a classic.
>>46617683
Krull
Beastmaster
Best of slightly-cheesy 80's fantasy
>>46621354
Should I get the director's cut or no?
>>46619565
Anahl Nathrak, Oothvas Bethoud, Dohiel Dienvey!
>>46621440
Beastmaster is arguably the best grade-B fantasy film out there, but Krull is trash. The first Beastmaster, that is; Beastmaster 2 is an abomination.
>>46621354
I like the idea, but always thought the movie was a bit meh. I always preferred Duncan to Connor, though the TV series had its share of shortcomings and I'd be willing to bet that it hasn't aged well either.
>>46617998
I kind of think that if you're gonna watch Army of Darkness, you owe it to yourself to watch the Evil Dead remake first (Evil Dead 2). Some of what I found so enjoyable about Army of Darkness was the tone shift from Evil Dead, which seemed to make it funnier.
>>46621929
>Krull is trash
You're going to hell.
>>46621440
And you forgot Masters of the Universe.
Your Highness for how your campaigns actually are.
Zardoz for the sheer wtf is going here.
What about Last Witch Hunter? Was that any good?
>>46618110
The original novel ending was shit.
>>46622466
I have a het-boner the size of the Eiffel Tower for Vin Diesel, and even I couldn't sit through it.
>>46617976
>10/10
I like you anon
>>46620883
God that fucking opening sold me so hard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhARR-zmTCE
I am loving this entire thread.
I'll throw in Deathstalker, Barbarian Queen, and Conquest for cheesy South American Conan-ish stuff that's like 20% porn.
Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans are classics. Also Ben-Hur for epic chariot action, though it's not actually fantasy except for the second half where suddenly Jesus. The remake and sequel of Clash of the Titans are eh, but have some neat-looking critters.
>>46622466
>>46622489
God damn it. Then again, I enjoyed Seventh Son, so who knows what depths I might be able to endure.
>>46617877
>>46617822
LOTR sucks
>>46622602
i love the visuals in this movie but it didnt do that much for me otherwise, i think there was some sort of theme going over my head
i love spike jonze usually though, being jon malkovich is my favorite movie ever
i guess spike jonze is just a producer for the fall but yeah
Great movie, dubously fantasy though
>>46617911
>>46618122
They're good if you don't know any history.
I watched it with a friend about an hour ago and I ended up talking shit through the ENTIRE movie.
It's hard to take as a fantasy because it's based on a real event.
>>46623103
I wouldn't go that far. It's over-hyped, and definitely has some flaws, but it's not garbage. And the over-hyped thing is somewhat understandable given how few big budget, professional fantasy movies there have been.
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Centurion with Michael Fasbender, The Black Cauldron, Berserk if you don't mind animoo.
>>46623924
J. R. R. Tolkien is an awful writer and the plot could have been easily made in one book instead of three books.
This and steel dawn
>>46622444
>Your Highness for how your campaigns actually are.
This. Mister Double-Dubs+Trips is right.
Also: Pirates of the Carribean.
>>46619062
>Why is Antonio Banderas so good in arab roles ?
Because he's probably at least half Arab.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umayyad_conquest_of_Hispania
>>46624114
But I think I'm missing some parts of this.
Too bad this didn't get the trilogy it deserved.
>>46624090
>J. R. R. Tolkien is an awful writer and the plot could have been easily made in one book instead of three books.
Tolkien *is* an awful writer, but a lot of that comes down to the way the story is told, and not the underlying story, itself. At the very least, you have to admit that the movies were a lot more exciting that the books.
As far as the second point goes, I disagree. Making LotR into one movie would more than likely have been a disaster. Maybe they could've done it in three movies of more modest length, or even two long movies, but one movie would've been ridiculous. A similar thing applies to the books. I mean, I guess Shogun is like 1200 pages, so yes, you could technically have made LotR into a single book, but not by cutting it down to a third of its length. At least not unless you wanted to lose a lot of content.
>>46624173
Yeah, that was surprisingly good.
Watership Down.
>>46617683

>>46624205
He was talking about the books, not the films, which I sadly have to agree with. They are not a quick read and there's so many side-things that got cut and the movies still needed an editor.
>inb4 scouring of the shire. It's the one part they should have left in. That was so important to the themes of the book.
Thulsa Doom's Mountain of Power is my favorite villain lair of all time. The whole sequence in Conan the Barbarian when he, Valeria and Subotai sneak in and scatter his followers is the pinnacle of what the Hyborian age is all about
Almost forgot the most important Terry Gilliam movies!

Whispers of a sequel! Fingers crossed....
>>46624276
Tolkien wrote in a scholarly style like his book was a compilation of notes and historical records detailing certain events. It's dry perhaps, but writing like that requires you to have a very active imagination and paint the full tapestry of what's described in your head as you go along
>>46617911
Maybe I should give Ironclad another chance, I was just really, really put off by the shitty combat at the beginning. Just a bunch of disorienting camera cuts. I'm big into martial arts movies and I cannot fucking stand lazy combat sequences in movies.
>>46624398
When I tried reading it on my own a few years ago it lost me.
Currently, I am listening to the audiobooks narrated by Robert Inglis and I am loving every moment of it. My greatest regret is already knowing the story from the movies so I can't truly appreciate the unveiling of information.
>>46617976
honestly I think that movie meshes well with oWOD
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/7NorJoG.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
Short film, but this was fucking hysterical.
Everyone! Your attention please.
Joan d'Arc is adorable. Why aren't you basing all your female characters on her?
![Indiana-Jones-e1451535066313[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/TQy6FLK.jpg "Indiana-Jones-e1451535066313[1].jpg")
Does this trilogy count as fantasy? If so, it's obligatory. All three movies in this series are absolute musts if you like fantasy, adventure, tomb raiding, dungeons, et cetera.

Come for the Tom Hanks in his first ever movie appearance. Stay for the memes and the nostalgia of that period in the 80s when christians thought D&D was satanic.
THAC0
Plot: Waiting for Godot except with nerds.
It's basically about 3 nerds talking amongst themselves while they wait for a 4th to show up to game.
Best part is that its completely free, offered by the guys who made it on youtube.

>>46624434
Not a good idea if you don't like truly cartoony combat.
There is a bit where the templar cuts all the way through one guy's hand, all the way through another guy's axe, through all his armor, through all his ribs down to his pelvis, in one swing.
It really doesn't get better from where you left off.
>>46617683

>>46624740
This one is fucking fantastic.
>>46624803
Mazes & Monsters, ah, now that takes me back.
I'm adding this to the pile. This one really got to me when I watched it. It's such a great cautionary tale about every single type of bad character in there. It was also a little personal to me, because had it not been for my ex prodding me out of my autism shell, I probably would have wound up exactly like the main character of this movie, Scott. I was THIS close to it. Luckily, I wound up avoiding a fate worse than death.
>>46624803
This is the only movie in the thread that i've actually seen
Yes, including lotr
>>46625054
...How? Are you deliberately avoiding lotr?
>>46625070
Just never have, my parents never showed it to me as a child and i never felt the urge to see it later
I fingered a girl in the theater during the first Hobbit movie though if that means anything.
![getlamp[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/bVFTpsN.png "getlamp[1].png")
>>46624822
Adding on to THAC0, this one isn't technically /tg/ related, but I feel that it's much, MUCH closer to /tg/ in terms of scope than it is /v/.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRhbcDzbGSU
This is called Get Lamp. It's a google tech talk with the creator of the movie, the movie itself being a documentary about the text-based adventure genre, which was basically a single-player D&D puzzle game. The tech talk has the creator actually show the entire movie in its full glory, so its free to watch, and actually surprisingly interesting.
>>46625100
>He's seen the Hobbit movies but not LOTR.
LOTR is just The Hobbit except actually good. Just go pirate it anon.
>>46625100
Okay, so maybe that movie wasn't useless after all.
>>46625127
I havent seen all of the Hobbit movies, i half payed attention to the first one, and watched a torrent of the third film with my brother which i also half payed attention to
![The-Wizards-Of-Aus-711x400[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/vl0ks5y.jpg "The-Wizards-Of-Aus-711x400[1].jpg")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv3DedNXN4o
It's technically a series, not a movie, but all six eps are free (legally) on Youtube in high quality.
tl;dr: A wizard gets sick of his fantasy world's shit and opens a rift to Melbourne Australia to live a sane and peaceful life.

>>46624896
I don't mind cheesiness, I just don't want it to be dependent on cinematographic obfuscation.
Like cutting through a guy's hand, axe, armor, and torso is cool. It's metal. I just don't want to see the guy get ready to swing, then have the camera cut to an angle where you can't see what's going on as it shakes around, then a shot of the guy reacting to being hit, and then a shot of the guy with a sword now stuck inside him. That's bullshit.
I want to see the guy swing, clearly. Choreography > cinematography
>>46625100
>>46625144
Did the same during Frozen.not joking; her daughter wanted to see it and she was sitting in front of us and neither of us were really into the movie
It's actually a decent fantasy movie if western animation is accepted.
>>46625168
Well you'll be disappointed there too. There's a bit where the lolVIKINGS!!!!!!!1111111one (in 1215 long after denmark was christianized and about 100 years after the end of the viking period) cut a bunch of dude's hands off, and it's mostly obfuscated, before they pan back to leaking stumps. Come to think of it most of the shots you actually see are retarded crazy cgi gore, anything that would be an actual wound they pretty much work around. I think that's what pisses me off.
But you won't be disappointed if you like heavy metal because fucking everyone dresses like the guys Halford has fucked.

That's what a series of three is called.
Because there were three.
Not four, definitely not with a fifth under consideration.
THREE.
NO MONKEYS.
>>46625536
That's the correct term for a film series with only three movies.
I mean, uif they tried to make a fourth they'd probably do something retarded like put CGI aliens in it, good thing they never made a fourth.

>>46625658
I didn't watch the Adventures of Young Indy.
Also, I only played the top-down quasi-action game, none of the others.
IJ4 is the only part of the franchise I have to suppress.
>>46625536
The "Close Encounters of the Elven Kind" does not count, anon.
WHIP NOT MONKEY.
Son, you need to get your oriental movies on!
God of gamblers - gambling and magic!
Dragon inn - everyone is a PC trying not to get killed at the inn.
flying swords at dragon inn - people hunt for treaure where the infamous dragon gate inn was burned down
The pirates - piracy, whales, kung fu and why waterwheels are bad for you!
13 assassins - based on a true story. Maybe except fromthe guy surviving a katana to the throat (though it is subtly implied that he is a tanuki)
jet lee evil cult - can be found on youtube, shit is crazy.
Iron monkey - a doctor has a secret identity as robin-hood style thief.
Tai chi zero/hero - china is getting industrialised but a small village is in the way of progress (railroads or some shit) one retard with kung-fu demon powers helps them. also steam mechas?
Wu dang - part indiana jones, part rat race, all kung-fu.
The duel - really, the duel is the most boring part of the movie, you watch it for agent9 and the princess.
>>46625633
I also like Yugioh more than magic from a mechanics, art, and lore standpoint.
>>46625658
Hey, Young Indy was actually /good/, what are you talking about? Especially Phantom Train of Doom (wherein Indy meet General Paul Von Lettow-Vorbeck) and Daredevils of the Desert (wherein a delightfully twenty something Catherine Zeta-Jones is a bellydancer and German spy.)
>>46625740
>twenty something Catherine Zeta-Jones is a bellydancer
>>46625740
Hmm. Did you have to special order your pair of nostalgia glasses?
I've seen SOME 80s cheese mentioned here, but there's not nearly enough 80s cheese. I recommend:
>The Barbarians (1987) - twice the barbarian with bodybuilder twins (see pic)
>The Barbarian Queen (1985)
>The Sword of the Barbarians (1983)
>Ironmaster (1983)
>The Warrior and the Sorceress (1984) - a rip-off (surprisingly not by the Italians) of Yojimbo
>Ator the Fighting Eagle (1982)
Valhalla Rising is the Dark Souls of cinema.
>>46626251
Valhalla commits the cardinal sin of bad movies.
It is boring.
NOTHING happens for 2 hours then a guy gets raped in the ass and everyone is shot or clubbed to death by canadians.
And even those murders are boring.
>>46626423
I meant valhalla rising.
you SHOULD watch Valhalla, the danish cartoon movie.

>*The Wild Hunt
Fuck off; that movie is fucking terrible.
>>46617998
>Heavy Metal.
Fuck yeah. The Oath of the Taarakians is my Paladin Oath. The BOC song about it is also fun to play sometimes during my Paladin's epic battles.
>>46626251
>>46626423
It's similar in vein to A Field In England, where it was trying to be a low gritty somewhat historical horror movie. But I'd say Field is better as a Dark Souls kind of movie, and also better in general. It has tighter writing, much more clever dialogue, and more experimental death/purgatory themes, an infinitely better psychedelic drug sequence and much more interesting characters. Also Irish Potato Satan.
>>46626524
but there is no horror about valhalla rising.
It's just bleak.
>>46617923
My brethren!
>>46626473
You're fucking terrible.
The Wild hunt is a fucking brilliant, and leaves you feeling hollow and depressed in the best possible way.
I am sorry you have less taste than the insufferable tripfaggot.

I have yet to find a haunted spaceship movie that good.
>>46626550
There are attempts at horror, but few of them are any good. They're mostly in the second part. It's just too shitty as a movie overall though, because the characters are all non-presences.

Bad photoshop that undermines the real people who used reenactment combat armor durring the Ukrainian riots. Then 9gag stole it and slapped a shitty watermark on it.

Admit you have shitty taste and own a laserdisk copy of Pluto Nash, and maybe we might explain it in small words to you.
The Italian movie adaption of the Iliad, the Fury of Achilles is pretty solid if you're into such things. I personally deeply enjoy this whole genre of Italian mythological adaptions.
>>46626853
I think there's even an English dub of it for free on youtube

Sure, whatever.
I'm all ears.

Some people never reach the point were they transfer from "I don't like this; it must be shit" to "Maybe this just isn't for me".
That or he's just trying to stirr up shit.

I love the adventures of Pluto Nash. Can't get enough of Ediie Murphy grinning like an imbecile.

Shit man, the fact that you admit that just proves there is no help.

THEN the dog eats the sharty shorts and and pukes. Then eats the shart-short-puke and craps that out. That sharty short-puke-dook then gets a 9gag watermark, and is presented as their own content.
>>46627409
Mate, DUDE. I was eating when I read your post.
Apologize to my sandwich.
>>46627428
Hope the ham isn't off.

Though as an Australasian, I should be outraged at the amount of footage they ripped right out of "The Lighthorsemen" to make that episode. On the other hand, it's about the only way any American would have seen that movie anyway, so I suppose I shouldn't be too upset - if that's what it takes to widen the view of an American audience, I guess I can live with it.

Scrubs.
In reality Valhalla rising was an attemptto make a cinematic experience like an LSD trip.
Originally they planned to have a flying saucer with aliens show up at the end.
>>46626660
>shrooms
Did you know that shrooms are the only thing that can cause irreparable brain damage on a single trip?
Eating shrooms at all was a horrible mistake. Literally any other drug is healthier.
>>46628422
and marjuana is a gateway to crack!
>>46628475
I'd do crack before I do shrooms.
>>46617822
The original movies are well crafted and the casting is pretty good, but the pacing is all over the place.
>>46623691
you sound fun to be around
>>46617878
I watched it as a kid. Shit was great.
>>46622483
fuck you and everything you stand for. the book was bittersweet deliciousness at its best none of this "they both go into the sky to shine forever uwu" bullshit
>>46623066
you ENJOYED seventh son!? fuck man you have willpower beyond anything.
did you read the spook books?
>>46626880
Probably because Tolkien's books were written for Tolkien. So he didn't bother pandering to the lowest common denominator.
>>46626251
It was actually pretty shitty.
Anyone got that big picture of /tg/ approved mangos and animus?
>>46626251
Actually, Dark Souls is basically Der Nibelungen after everything has already gone to shit.

It's also been repeatedly clinically proven to essentially cure depression. Shrooms have the most hugely varied spectrum of potential trips and side effects.

>>46617683
Krull is maybe the stupidest movie I've ever seen, but it's a good kind of stupid. It makes you smile with how stupid it is. You can really imagine it as a D&D campaign run by 13-year-olds who have no fucking clue what they're doing but who are having the time of their lives anyway.
>>46629140
>no Kingdom of Heaven
Shit/10. Be sure to watch the director's cut and not the theatrical version.
>>46629156
I've already seen kingdom of heaven.
>>46629162
Oh. Carry on then.
Hard to be a god
Both the 1989 and 2013 one are interesting
>>46629197
The movie where Jim Carrey replaces Morgan Freeman?
>>46617683
The Road to El Dorado is pretty much exactly what happens when you have a three-rogue party.
>>46629197
Its science fiction though.
>>46629221
God no, russian story written by the strutgatsky brothers about humanity finding a sister planet in it's medieval stage. it is a wierd sci-fi/Fantasy crossover
>>46629448
eh, i'd argue both
>>46629462
Mite b cool. Is it actually any good though?
>>46625144
Fuck yeah Wizards.
>>46629491
I enjoyed both, it's mainly a cynical look at the suppression of innovation
>>46624559
Well certain stuff doesnt't happen in the movies there is tons of notes at the in back pages. Honestly fellowship was super hard to get through because it was Tolkien describeing every rock they passed while walking. After over half the book though it got fun and was a breeze. Fellowship is SUPER comfy but it was hard to read.
>>46625149
Man you havent Heard of the great adderall shortage of 2016 then. Its impossible to find 30 mg adderall
>>46625237
That happen for me while watching Big Fish good job anon
>>46621462
I wouldn't.
It fleshes out a character or two, but the scenes feel so "unfinished" they end up ruining the atmosphere of the movie.

I always liked the Highlander Director's cut, I say go for it.
>>46631033
I don't recall there being a whole lot of extra stuff in the directors cut to make it stand out from the theatrical cut.
>>46629941
>not sodomizing your gf to Disney's Enchanted because the theatre was empty
Oh, high school. So many lessons learned.
Anyway OP watch Dragonslayer, HBO's Rome series, and Heavy Metal.
>>46626880
Because they are badly written? Yes, he describes everything, which sounds good for world building but makes for a boring story. There are a few chapters that have more descriptions of mundane life than any story progression. If that's what you like? great, this book is for you but I would rather read a book that gets somewhere within the span of a 100 pages and not just give me a vivid image of the mountain they are currently crossing.
>>46625319
>>46625319
Agreed.
>>46627409
>>46631621
This.

Then it did a shitty job. And A Field In England also did that better.
>>46624090
My inner sperg is coming out here, but LOTR was never meant to be three books. It was just meant to be one great big doorstopper of a book, but paper prices in postwar Britain meant no publisher wanted to release such a beast all at once without knowing if it would sell.
And compared to a lot of other fantasy series like A Song of Ice and Fire, The Dark Tower, or (ho boy) Wheel of Time, LOTR is relatively compact.
>>46634060
they are baiting you, anon; because their next response to you will be
>muh, but THOSE series are GOOD, muh
it's a meme to say lotr novels be shit - always the same
>muh,. 100 pages of description
which, to anyone who's actually read the book, is categorically not true.
Ignore the bait.
>>46620773
>But all that talent behind it is just fucking wasted on a screenplay that's so god-damn "blah."
This. There really needed to be more animated sword'n'sorcery stuff, because it's a shame Fire & Ice has to shoulder most of the burden of representation.
>>46625319
one of my favorite movie reviews, from a roommate:
"Conan the Barbarian is the greatest fantasy movie of all time, and all the Lord of the Rings dorks can suck my balls."
no "The Monkey King"?
but guys.. it is all about an awakened monkey with some godly template who travels around and increases his level and breaches the future encounters by having way too much magical equipment for his level.
And then basically completely railroading the GMs original story by doing whatever he feels like.
>>46625571
>>46625590
>>46625685
Say what you will, that movie was an excellent rendition of an adventuring party. Everyone was both incredibly good and incredibly bad at their jobs.They tried and failed to escape like three times. Then tried again, because they're good at planning.
>>46628791
>did you read the spook books?
I didn't. Should probably give them a try, they can't possibly be worse.
What's the general consensus on Knights of Badassdom?I enjoyed it but I can easily imagine others hating it for cringy "Le nerd LARP" humor
>>46634060
Never read the Dark Tower (nor do I intend to) but A Song of Ice and Fire and WoT (after a few books in) are pretty bad too.
I know it's not fantasy, but if we're going on movies actually based on /tg/-related properties...
>>46624070
>Prince of Thieves
Brian Blessed, Alan Rickman and Morgan Freeman were the only good parts of that movie. If you want to watch a good Robin Hood movie, either play the classic Errol Flynn movie, or just go with Men in Tights.
>>46624173
I'm still mad that the 2011 Conan movie did badly. Damn reviewers, assuming it was a remake of the 80's Arnie film...
>>46629144
I've had that movie on the Sky planner for waaaay too long.
>>46636235
Whether its a remake or not it was always going to be judged against the far superior 1982 film.
>>46636395
Yeah, but it's not like the studio said "This is totally a remake", everyone just assumed it was. As for the Arnie movie being superior... I dunno. James Earl Jones and Mako were perfectin the '82 movie, but Mamoa felt more like Conan to me, and Ron Perlman was great as Conan's dad. In fact, the '11 Hyboria felt far more like Robert E Howard's original vision overall.
I didn't see these: correct me if i;m wrong plz:
Knights of Badassdom
First Knight
Joan of Arc the messenger (milla jovovich)
Outlander
Immortals
300 and rise of an empire
