Movies that feel likeEragon (2006)

In his homeland of Alagaesia, a farm boy happens upon a dragon's egg -- a discovery that leads him on a predestined journey where he realized he's the one person who can defend his home against an evil king.

If you loved Eragon, the closest films we have are The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008), How to Train Your Dragon (2025) and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014). All three share Eragon's dreamlike and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958).
