Movies that feel likeJungle Cruise (2021)

Dr. Lily Houghton enlists the aid of wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff to take her down the Amazon in his dilapidated boat. Together, they search for an ancient tree that holds the power to heal – a discovery that will change the future of medicine.

If you loved Jungle Cruise, the closest films we have are Monster Hunt (2015), Jumanji: The Next Level (2019) and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023). All three share Jungle Cruise's dreamlike and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2013).
