Movies that Remind Me of ‘The Silver Chair’ and/or ‘Narnia’

A. ‘We start off with a young lady, who, in a thankless role, is sent on a journey into the bowels of Hell to rescue an innocent from a monster, with instructions from an intimidating, iconic male character. In the process, she must confront her own demons as well as encountering the monster.”
Synopsis for ‘The Silver Chair’ - or ‘The Silence of the Lambs’?!
Yeah. It’s Mad. You’re all thinking I’m perverse. But seriously: ‘The Silver Chair’ is the creepiest book in the Narnia series.
No. Jill is NO detective. She’s not Jodie Foster. No, Aslan is NOT Anthony Hopkins in ‘The Silence of the Lambs’! He’s infinity more wholesome.
(I wouldn’t be surprised if Joe Johnston cast him as Aslan in TSC movie before it got scrapped.)
B. “When a boy helps a girl escape some antagonists, the duo hatch a plan to escape their dull, ordinary lives and go on an adventure and find out what they’re made of. In the process, they form a strong bond of friendship they otherwise might never have had. Oh, and they befriend a tall, muddy, solemn creature at one point.”
Plot of ‘The Silver Chair’, or of ‘Castle in the Sky’?
Whenever I’ve watched this movie from Studio Ghibli, I’m reminded of TSC. It’s a pure adventure story about two 12-year-olds, with bite and a lot of unsentimental emotion. And the green robot with moss - near the end of the movie - is solid proof: Puddleglum NEEDS to be VERY tall and very thin. Some impressive special effects work needed.
That’s what I’m thinking about right now. Any weird movies remind you of ‘Narnia’ or ‘The Silver Chair’?
