Hook poster

Movies that feel likeHook (1991)

The boy who wasn't supposed to grow up—Peter Pan—does just that, becoming a soulless corporate lawyer whose workaholism could cost him his wife and kids. During his trip to see Granny Wendy in London, the vengeful Capt. Hook kidnaps Peter's kids and forces Peter to return to Neverland.

If you loved Hook, the closest films we have are The BFG (2016), Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002) and Stuart Little (1999). All three share Hook's epic and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Peter Pan (2003).
