Let's start a list of the most inspirational movies for game sessions and campaigns. I think it should help everyone get new ideas and enjoy some amazing international "b-side" or uncommon movie. I will try to keep it under some basic subtitles so everyone can locate them easily.
Modern Military
1) The Elite Squad
2) S.W.A.T
Fantasy Piracy
1) Pirates of the Caribbean
2) Hook
3) Cutthroat Island
4) Treasure Island
Steampunk
1) Wild Wild West
2) The Three Musketeers (2011 film)
Any suggestions? Please give your reply.
In keeping with the title,
Blast surfing. Seen in several Star Wars, Star Trek, and Indiana Jones movies. By traveling with the edge of an explosion, the hero or heros avoid taking damage.
13th Warrior
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Heroes of the East
Classic Fantasy
1) Willow (and the books "Chronicles of The Shadow War")
2) The Witcher (there is a Poland movie based in the novel and games)
Troy
John Carter
Forbidden Kingdom
Princess Mononoke
The Sorceror's Apprentice
Percy Jackson & The Olympians
Clash of the Titans (Original & Remake)
The Odyssey
