Three Hearts and Three Lions is also good. Modern American engineer is dumped into fairy world.

The Broken Sword is his best though.

Also excellent. But as with adaptations of excellent fiction in general it is nearly always better to read the book before viewing the movie. If I am to rate the story A+, then the movie is only A, but the skill and achievement in actually managing to portray such a science fiction story into an entertaining movie also gets an A+.

I’d read this before War and Peace.
