Please make sure it's more than a year or two old so that it will (hopefully) be available somewhere.

"Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" (2023). Included in Amazon Prime, available to rent almost anywhere.

A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.

This movie sadly bombed at the box office, but is in my opinion a near-perfect fantasy adventure flick that strikes a really good balance of narrative and comedy, and respects the source material without making it a prerequisite for enjoyment. I'd put it up there with "The Princess Bride" and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a similar cult appreciation in the future.
