I have a lot of free time, and love watching shows and movies in the background while I work on projects. What are some of the best adaptations of Pulp Fantasy and other D&D inspirational material? IE: Conan, John Carter of Mars, Lovecraft, etc. I know a lot of adaptations aren't great, but if there are any good ones you can recommend. Even stuff that's just vaguely related like Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers style stuff is cool.
Personally I loved the new Solomon Kane movie. I know it's not normally cited as an inspiration for OD&D, but it's definitely got an awesome feel for it, and would make a great Cleric-focused campaign. Another somewhat unrelated show is Wizards & Warriors, from the 80's. It was really cheesy, but a lot of fun, and had a very puzzle-quest feel to its plots.
