Movies that remind you of Skyrim? : Othor Games

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 2:59 am

few times ago I saw a low-Fantasy Remix of Moby dike. And it was the story of a lone adventurer who joined a kind of a vehicle who go in the snow. And the vehicle's captain lost his sister because, when he was younger, she was killed by a dragon so he wants a revenge. Tht's why he formed a kind of a dragon hunt team.

Please can someone remind me the name of this film?

What movies or TV shows you know that remind you of Skyrim or get you in the mood for the game?

I will start with a few obvious examples to get them out of the way:
"LOTR trilogy". DUH!
"Dragonheart" (also seemed a little obvious.... especially because there's a dragon theme in there)

but beyond that there are some crappy fantasy movies like "in the name of the king: Dungeon siege" or "pathfinder". While they ARE pretty bad i enjoy fantasy movies for their atmosphere. I actually enjoyed pathfinder.
But i dont think anyone could enjoy "dungeons and dragons". That movie was more disturbing that the old stripper from the last Tosh.0 sketch...
But if i am thinking about nords, fantasy and dragons, the most suitable movie that doesnt fit this thread is "how to train your dragon" :twirl:? an amazing animated movie!

Shows are more rare –
"legend of the seeker" and "merlin" are kinda childish and mediocre, but as i said – i like fantasy.
"Game of thrones" was a good show and "Camelot" was OK as well.
I saw some trailers on youtube for two mini series called "The Ring Of The Nibelungs" and "Knights of Bloodsteel". haven't watched them yet. the latter looks.... low budget.

I have a few more ideas but i'll live them for you to suggest

So, what movies or TV shows can YOU recommend that remind you of skyrim or TES universe?
With a bit of luck if everyone shares their most hated or loved fantasy\medieval movies we might get ideas for movies we haven't seen ourselves to watch.

Ok I'll bite.

First Braveheart not so much the envirnoment, though Scotland seemed wild and cold, but for the dark politics of the time, the brutality, and the desire of the people for freedom.

Second, prehaps Empire Strikes Back u cant look at Skyrim without expecting to see a snow monster.

I think the Dune series (more the books than the moves) is the most ES-ish thing out there. COmplex politics, messiahs, entire civilizations falling -- and some for the discriptions of the "races" in Chapterhouse especially sound rather ES-ish as well (futars ftw)

Horrible, horrible movie IMO. I had to struggle not to fall asleep during Part III.
But, to each their own...

No, and based on the reviews I've read, I don't think I want to.

Well if we look past the modern setting then, Rain Of Fire is close what with all the dragons waking up all suddenly. but i don't think we will get tanks to fight em in skyrim

The others that i can only think of have been posted.

It's an old movie from the 80's, but some may remember it: Dragonslayer. Not just because of the dragons either.

Amazing movie, still is! :goodjob:

Duh, Xena Warrior Princess. Especially season six episodes 7 8 & 9 which all deal with vikings & norse mythology. I can't believe the guy with the Alti avatar didn't mention this.

Conan, LOTR, Beowulf, and Severed Ways

Conan the Barbarian is an absolute must to watch before Skyrim comes out. Not only is the mood and parts of the setting very similar, but one of the best parts of the movie features the voice of Esbern himself, Max von Sydow.

One movie that came to mind is Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God. Not to be confused with the crappy D&D movie that was released a few years earlier. It's not the greatest movie out there but it has a few good moments plus a couple of good dragon battles. I think it was released straight to DVD.

Edit: And Beowulf. Dont forget Beowulf how could I forget Beowulf.

how about http://www.soundonsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/buliwyf.gif (13th Warrior). After all, he is the leader of the Stormcloaks.

Not very Skyrimesque, but a classic none the less.
