I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve been counting down the days to the premiere of HBO’s Game of Thrones since the clock struck midnight on January 1st. The cable adaptation of George RR Martin’s novels has earned huge ratings and a dedicated following, and fans have been patiently waiting for the next installment.
Well, we’ve gotten a little closer to a new season now that the first ‘real’ trailer for the new season has premiered.
And for fans who were already chomping at the bit, it had everything that fans of the show could hope for -- epic battles, dragons, royal intrigue and a healthy dose of magic.
But the bad news is that March 31st is still a while away and for some, withdrawal is reaching critical levels.
Which is why its time for the movies to come to the rescue! Part of what makes Thrones so compelling is it is a series that plays like a film, it’s big and it’s grand, and it’s got all the elements you expect from fantasy.
So listed after the jump are some films that feature some of our favourite things about Westeros, and hopefully will help pass the time until ‘Winter’ finally returns.
