What are some good series or movies like GOT in the fantasy genre?

The Corpse Bride. From those wonderful people who gave you The Nightmare Before Christmas, this one is way weirder.

Excalibur. It makes no fucking sense, but that’s okay because everything Boorman does is so beautiful to look at.

Pan’s Labyrinth. You want brutal? You got it.

Two Ocean Bands Are Warming Faster Than Ever — What This Means for Our Climate - The Daily Galaxy

Princess Mononoke. The last animated film on the list. Also, the last film on the list.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The ultimate wirework fantasy fight movie.

Beetlejuice. I simply cannot wait for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to hit the theaters.

Why do I have an itch in my labia, white gooey and thick discharge which doesn't have a smell but my vagina does sometimes and both me and my partner do not have STDs, what is it?

The Sandman. This is the most powerful fantasy TV I have ever seen. I cannot wait for season two, even though I’ve read the comics and pretty much know what is going to happen.

Like I said, a few. I don’t really watch much TV. All of those were good enough to keep me watching the whole series (at least, so far, in the case of those that haven’t ended yet).

Wednesday. Yes, the girl from The Addams Family. She goes to boarding school and gets involved in some very dangerous stuff.

Israeli aggression in the Middle East has reached dangerous levels, foreshadowing devastating regional conflicts. How has President Trump contributed to this destructive chaos?

Star Wars. In fact, the entire original trilogy. Yes, it’s fantasy, it’s just set against a faux science fictional background.

Willow. A pet project of George Lucas, a classic good-vs-evil story in a rich, interesting world with at least one morally ambiguous character (the delightful Madmartigan).

Wizards and Warriors. A takeoff on the “Dungeons and Dragons” style fantasy movie before there was such a thing.

Anyone think Andrew Tate can become prime minister of the UK with Elon Musk backing using X?

Coraline. Yes, another animated film. There are a couple more still to come. Furthermore, a children’s animated film. Don’t let that stop you.

But I’ll soldier on as best I can. Here are some good fantasy movies (and a few tv series), some of which don’t really resemble GoT at all.

Spirited Away. Yes, an animated film. It has more imagination in any given five minute period than most fantasy films have in their entire length.

How do you write lyrics for a song that resonates with listeners?

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. No, really.

Labyrinth. A cult classic that became a just-plain-classic.

The Princess Bride. The original “romantasy,” but it’s really, really good.

The Neverending Story. A children’s movie, true, but one about the power of story to heal.

OK, here are a few TV series. None of them really resembles GoT. If you want to watch more of that, go watch House of the Dragon.

Because of the way you write “series or movies,” I’m going to assume that you mean TV series, as opposed to book series: which is a pity because I know far more good book series than TV series or movies.

"Can God create iron that God cannot bend?" Isn't it unreasonable to ask this about a being believed to have created logic? After all, God can create a logic that we can't understand right now that both are possible at the same time, right?

Being John Malkovich. The fantasy concept here is really weird. Don’t let that stop you.

Grimm. Suppose there were fantasy monsters in the real world. And suppose that some people are born to fight them — no, don’t think Buffy (though what I’ve seen of that was actually pretty good); think of a family whose destiny, like it or not, is to see and know the monsters and deal with them. One way or another.

Movies:

Good Omens. The first season is the funniest story about the Apocalypse ever told.

And I’m not sure what “like GoT” means; there is so much different stuff in GoT that I can’t really make that judgment easily. In truth, I don’t particularly care for the Game of Thrones tv series; I think HBO made it brutal and unnecessarily lascivious in ways that detracted from the story. Plus, I like a story where you know who to root for.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. This is where the franchise started, and, if you can look at it with fresh eyes, you can see what it was like before the characters (and especially Captain Jack) became walking sterotypes of themselves: it was fun, exciting, and often funny.
