This Collider article is a listicle recommending 15 fantasy films for viewers who love "The Lord of the Rings" and want similar escapist adventures, timed to anticipation for the November release of "The Rings of Power" Season 3. It argues that beyond Peter Jackson's trilogy, a wide range of films—from modern blockbusters to cult classics and international cinema—can offer comparable wonder, world-building and a strong sense of good versus evil.

Highlighted picks include Jackson's own "The Hobbit" trilogy, praised for capturing Middle-earth's whimsy despite weaker storytelling than the original films, and "The Chronicles of Narnia," based on C.S. Lewis's novels, noted for its childlike wonder and mythology (with a new Netflix adaptation from Greta Gerwig expected in 2027). The list also nods to lighter, comedic fantasy such as "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" for fans who enjoy LotR's occasional humour, alongside other blockbuster and cult titles spanning decades of fantasy cinema.
