I love this type of movie, but I feel like I haven't seen that many, so hit me with your faves!

Any era, any setting. Bonus points if you mention what you like about them.

Top Tier: Mummy 1 and 2, Jumanji remake 1 and 2, Dungeons and Dragons, all the Indiana Jones movies, all the Jurassic Movies, How to Train Your Dragon movies,

Others that I enjoy: Willow, Pompeii, Peter Pan (live action from early 2000s), Night at the Museum movies, first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Princess Bride, Mask of Zorro, National Treasure.

Also, I'm not quite sure where the line is and what qualifies. If LOTR and Star Wars count, obviously those are the top of my list. And some of the MCU movies probably count, particularly Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor movies, and the first Avengers movie. And probably at least 1 or two of the X-Men Movies.

Honestly, I just like fun movies. I like a sense of joy, a sense of hope.

"A sense of joy, a sense of hope"... Yes! I think this is what I really need from my films, especially these days.

You've listed some that I saw and enjoyed and some that I haven't seen, so they're a great addition to my watchlist!

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was terrific, and beautifully animated.

It really was. Haven't seen the sequel yet, I think I need to adjust my expectations slightly, but I really enjoyed the first film!

I like the Ocean's 11/12/13 movies, because I love big heist plots where there's a team of friends working together. Ocean's 8 is okay, but definitely less well plotted and cohesive, IMO.

Yeah, pretty much my attitude towards the franchise. I thought some of the character dynamics were great in Ocean's 8, but they couldn't quite marry it to a solid heist plot.

I already listed the ones for after 1999 in the first secret thread (https://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/3065964.html?thread=1127549804#cmt1127549804), except for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves because the secret OP already made their opinion know on that one. Here are the ones from 1999 back to 1980:

The Mummy, of course.

The Man in the Iron Mask has Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, and Gérard Depardieu hamming it up as the older Musketeers and Leonardo DiCaprio in dual roles.

The first Jumanji is good, even if the CGI animals are a little naff.

Cutthroat Island is a fun movie, though it was savaged by critics.

Jurassic Park is still amazing.

Okay, I still like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, non-existent accent and all. Alan Rickman is wickedly funny.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is excellent.

Willow is kind of magic.

The Princess Bride is one of my faves.

SpaceCamp is based on a ludicrous premise and has some very 80s stuff, but it is enjoyable.

The Goonies is awesome.

Romancing the Stone has some things that make me look at it a little sideways these days, but it still has its good points.

I don't care if it isn't like the book, I do really like The NeverEnding Story.

The Last Starfighter is weird and interesting and a good time.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade all are great, but Last Crusade may be my favorite.

Now, there are some I didn't include because I consider them more straight action, more action-thriller, more fantasy, or more serious.

I'll have to give some of these a try!

Happy watching!

The original Stargate movie (the one that started the whole TV franchise) is extremely fun. I remember being very impressed by the special effects the first time that I saw it.

The Fifth Element is really kickass. (Not for young children, because of extremely strange sexual situations.) The visual effects alone make this one a must see.

Also, both of these movies have some ancient Egyptian mythology in them!
