Hey guys, you won’t believe what I just got into! So, I’ve been on this huge “Hercules” kick lately, right? The Disney one, the Dwayne Johnson one, I watched them all. But then, like, what do I watch next? It’s a struggle, for real.
So, I started digging around. First, I just typed “movies like Hercules” into Google. I got hit with a bunch of obvious choices, you know, like “Tarzan” and “Mulan.” Which, yeah, those are cool, but I wanted something a little different. Then I hit up this one site that said if I liked the 2014 Hercules, I might like “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”.
Then I started looking at the big streaming sites. You know, Netflix, Amazon, iTunes. It took some time to search. But, I found some of the suggestions.
And it got me thinking, it’s not just about the muscles and the monsters. It’s about, like, the whole ancient world vibe and the hero’s journey thing. I realized I needed to broaden my search beyond just the name “Hercules.”
So, I found this site called Letterboxd, which had a list of 77 films similar to Hercules. 77! I was blown away. I felt like I hit the jackpot. I found another one, it’s called Filmaffinity. That one’s all about recommending movies based on your tastes.
Here’s what I finally found:
- Tarzan (1999)
- Mulan (1998)
- The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
- G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
I haven’t watched all of these yet, but I’m making my way through the list. It’s a lot of movies, but hey, I’m committed! I will watch them all.
It is not easy to find the right thing. But, I made it. I got the list!
