"Could we, uh... talk to Colonel Kurtz? "

I read a forum post recently about a fantasy rpg scenario that culminated in a village defense reminiscent of Seven Samurai. It got me thinking about other movies that could be adapted into a fantasy rpg scenario. Of course, the strength of these and any great movie is depth of its characters. Playing in one of these scenarios could give the players cues on how to play their PCs if they want to recreate aspects of the movie, or not, if not.

Stand By Me
The news reaches Castle Rock that a young man was killed by a dragon across the downs and through the glen. The PCs set out on a coming-of-age adventure to recover the body.

The Dirty Dozen
Enemy knights are gathered at a castle in occupied territory, celebrating their victories with a ball and planning their next mission. A squad of convicts are trained for a suicide mission: infiltrate the castle and eliminate the knights.


Apocalypse Now
An insane, renegade lord has established a kingdom deep within the sinister jungle. The PCs are sent to terminate the lord's command with extreme prejudice.


What other movies could be simply adapted like this?
