The 7 Most Influential Adventure Movies of the Last 25 Years

Comments

1. Emmac: agree the Lord of the Rings is crucial but I still think Pan's Labyrinth had a much deeper impact on fantasy adventure movies
2. Dane: what really stands out to me is how these movies have transcended their own narratives to become a cultural touchstone for something bigger, whether it's fellowship or heroism 🗡
3. Dusk Vesper: love the nod to the women-led adventure films, but what's missing is a recognition that most of these movies are heavily reliant on existing source material?
4. Webersofia: kind of feel like a weird choice to use an uncredited reference to video games in this article
5. Brunof: haven't seen many adventure movies that changed the game since LoTR came out. this one was on my radar but never got a chance to watch it - is it worth a second
6. Quiet Nomad: Lord of the Rings is fine, but what's missing here?
7. Silent Moth: the LotR trilogy's influence is one thing, but what about Pan's Labyrinth or Spirited Away? Those two changed the game imo
8. Islag: seems like the last one has some inaccuracies, the lady looks more like she belongs in a fantasy RPG than a Lord of the Rings film
9. Quiet Talon: apparently the people making this list were paid by a fantasy bookstore or something
10. Echo Echo: i'm not surprised lord of the rings is on the list but where's princess mononoke?
11. Noelreyesxo: something's missing from this list - what about the sense of community? movies like the lord of the rings really thrive because they tap into that feeling of belonging to something bigger than ourselv
