I need ideas for a film with which I can compare Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, particularly a film similar to it. I don't care how many ideas I get for this. I need many as possible. This whole thing is for a school assignment.

What about Snakes on a Plane?

But yeah, it would help if we had some idea of how exactly it has to be similar. Do you mean in terms of plot/general theme? Or in terms of direction/cinematography? Or the way the various plot points are set up throughout the film?

What I'm specifically looking for is a fantasy film with a type of hero. I'm trying to find one with an ending with which I can compare the Goblet of Fire with. More specifically with a hero's return to his normal world.

It does not have to be exactly the same, but I would like a good one to discuss.

This is kinda obvious, but you could watch another Harry Potter movie.
I can't think of any movies that really match you you want.

Clash of the Titans. Jason and the Argonauts. Any of those sorts of archetypal films.

the Odyssey based stories are normally the best. Given that Odyssius has a miraculous or mystical birth and it follows a classic myth cycle. It basically conforms perfectly to the Quest Cycle of Northrop Frye.

Oh yes! Those are pretty good films, but most of them are old.
The Odyssey was one of the best tales ever.

Which is why they're good because not only are they based on quest cycle archetypes they are the source of most modern film cliches and can therefore form a stronger base for any sorts of cinematic arguments.
