DnD literally had a hugely successful movie release starring multiple A list actors not that long ago.

And I'm a Baldur's Gate (somewhat reluctant) fan and I don't even know there was a DnD movie out recently :)

It's actually a pretty fun movie. It has references to lots of fun D&D history, including the old cartoon. I enjoyed it, my wife enjoyed it, and my daughter (who knows nothing of D&D and doesn't really like fantasy) enjoyed it.

And it's had a consistent presence in Stranger Things on Netflix, helping expose it to a younger generation who missed out on the D&D moral panic, BG/NWN, the first movie, and so on.
