Movies that feel likeHighlander (1986)
If you loved Highlander, the closest films we have are Conan the Barbarian (1982), A Touch of Zen (1970) and A Chinese Ghost Story (1987). All three share Highlander's kinetic and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006).

If Highlander hit the spot, these will too

Epic and kinetic in the same breath

The same preoccupation in both: martial arts
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Dreamlike action, and it commits to that
The difference: Trades the scale of Highlander for an angle of its own

Both lean on scale more than on adventure

One thread runs through both: martial arts
The difference: 40 years apart, and the 2020s show

Both keep coming back to the same thing: sword fight

Two things both keep coming back to: fictional war and warrior

Common ground: supernatural power

Kinetic fantasy in both cases

Adventure with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases

Common ground in both: dark fantasy and sword and sorcery

Both are built on the same subject: warrior
