For many seasons, Game of Thrones has surprised and amazed fans with its unpredictable twists and intrigue.

And even the much criticized eighth season will not be able to take away the title of one of the best series of our time.

We've found 3 movies that could be interesting for fans of this great show.

1. The Green Knight

The film, based on the knightly legend of Sir Gawain, was directed by David Lowry.

The movie is about the mysterious Green Knight who appears at the king's castle on Christmas. The character declares that anyone present can strike him, but in a year and a day they must face the Green Knight and take a blow back.

Young Sir Gawain, the king's nephew and sole heir, challenges the duel and beheads the stranger. But the visitor, after putting his head back in its place, reminds Gawain of his bargain.

The movie not only portrays the myth in an interesting way, but also immerses the viewer in a magical yet realistic atmosphere. The Green Knight has stunning visual effects and an exciting plot to keep Game of Thrones fans on their toes.

2. Stardust

The second motion picture on the list is Matthew Vaughn's movie based on Neil Gaiman 's novel.

The story revolves around a small English village separated by an ancient wall from a supernatural parallel universe where magic and sorcery reign supreme.

The protagonist, young Tristan Thorn, makes a rash promise to the most beautiful girl in the village that he will bring her a star that has fallen on the other side of the wall, and sets off on a journey full of adventure.

Stardust is amazing in its compelling story and well-crafted characters. And many Game of Thrones fans will be captivated by Neil Gaiman's incredible world of great intrigue.

3. The Seventh Son

A fantasy action film directed by Sergei Bodrov, based on the novel The Spook's Apprentice by Joseph Delaney.

The movie tells the tale of Tom Ward, who has lived all his life in a small village in the county of Lancashire. He is the seventh son of the seventh son. This gives him the ability to see, hear and feel ghosts and to fight with other supernatural beings. The boy's parents give him to be trained by a Spook named John Gregory.

The Seventh Son may not have the depth of Game of Thrones, but it will definitely appeal to fans looking for something beyond Lord of the Rings or The Witcher.
