Excellent list.(y)
 
I'd mention the various dragons from the Malazan series, but I always go there, so I won't. Visually, I actually liked the dragons from the Reign of Fire movie, even if they were unintelligent. And I always loved the dragons in old Might & Magic VI... because I could fight them in turn-based mode, they'd never close the range, and I could dodge their breath by flying up and down. The loot was truly epic. :ROFLMAO: I'll also mention Deathwing, from World of Warcraft, and credit him with getting my wife sufficiently interested in the game to try it out. Those TV trailers for the Cataclysm expansion were pretty cool.
 
I haven't seen a lot of movies with dragons in them, but the one that still captures my attention and imagination is the one in Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

That dragon fills the screen with its aura of power and evil. It really is remarkable in that the drawing of it is simple without a lot of detail but enough to let you know it's a dragon. Not any any old dragon, but a big, big nasty dragon that you don't mess with. This is not a worm you have a friendly chat with or play riddles and forget about stealing any of its goodies.

This dragon will do a number of things to you: it will make you run faster than you think you can or make you immobile with fear or make pee in your pants.

My favorite dragon's voice is Richard Boone's Smaug. I believe Mr. Boone enjoyed doing the voice. Not thinking back on it I think it was the best part of the film.

I will probably be in a minority here, but I love the dragons of Dragonlance. The original trilogy have a special place in my heart, faults and all, and will never be dislodged.

Yeah, the DH dragons were good; but I've always felt that the DragonLance books belittled dragons by 1) having far too many, and 2) they were killed far too easily.
 
I thought the Game Of Thrones Dragons. were cool :cool:
