As a big D&D fan myself, I am always looking for content that takes influence from D&D. There are many books, movies, and TV shows that are influenced or take inspiration from the popular table top game. Check out my list of the best movies and tv shows that are most like Dungeons & Dragons.
If I have not watched it, I will watch it every day, normally, I usually watch the movies available on PlayTV Geh app here https://techbigs.com/pt/playtv-geh.html
If we can include TTRPGs other than D&D, the original Brendan Fraser Mummy plays out almost exactly like how we played Call of Cthulhu back in the day.
I was very pleased to see Your Highness, Knights of Badassdom, and The 13th Warrior on that list. A lot of the rest were typical Sword and Sandals stuff that don’t usually scream D&D to me. But there was one movie that absolutely should have been on your list and I was surprised it was not: In The Name of The King. It is basically a movie adaptation of the sorts of D&D we played as kids way back in the forevers ago, and watching it just makes me so happy every time. It is one of my absolute go-to goodbad movies on any rainy day.
How can any list like this not include "The Gamers" and possibly, "The Gamers II: Dorkness Rising" both of which are literally about people playing D&D. And both were actually pretty funny and had lots of jokes you'd only really get if you play.

Agreed. These two, especially the second one, are must watches for my players.

Do you agree with my list? How many have you seen? Have any more recommendations?
I would add:
Excalibur
Beowulf and Grendel (which I thought was better than Beowulf)
Dragonslayer
Ladyhawke
Flesh+Blood
Warrior and the Sorceress
Hawk the Slayer (the D&D movie in the early 80s)
The Chronicles of Narnia
and Monty Python and the Holy Grail for what most D&D games are really like. ;)
I would strongly add "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to that list.
I might even add "The Great Wall" with Matt Damon... maybe... with enough adult beverages.
Don't forget Anime
I would add Grimgar of Fantasy of Ash series
Its a little south of DnD but the Epic Adventure Feel maybe Avatar the Last Airbender, and Legend of Korra (the animated versions)
I'd also add The Dragon Prince.
I'm surprised not to see the Mythica series of films on the list.

If TV series are allowed, Wizards and Warriors!
The films that got me into D&D: the Sword and the Sorcerer & Hawk the Slayer

This is a short list.
There's nothing else necessary in life.

I personally feel like the biggest sin this list committed was using the new versions of Clash of the Titans and Conan rather than the originals. :P
Agreed. These two, especially the second one, are must watches for my players.
Partial agreement. I personally love the originals but the new versions have merits of their own.
I'd like the add:
The Beastmaster
The Outlaw King
The Last King - this one is so good. Very D&D
"Sooner or later, your Players are going to smash your railroad into a sandbox."
-Vedexent
"real life is a super high CR."
-OboeLauren
"............anybody got any potatoes? We could drop a potato in each hole an' see which ones get viciously mauled by horrible monsters?"
-Ilyara Thundertale
13 Assassins
Bodyguards and Assassins
Arn the Knight Templar

Definitely:
Princess Bride (working on a storyline with that general theme, complete with subclasses, new races and all)
The Hobbit
The LOTR trilogy
Rogue Shadow, the DM (and occasional) PC with schemes of inventive thinking
Slayers-- for high level feel
grimgar of fantasy and ash isn't a movie but should be considered. If you ever run low level characters its awesome.
