10. The Hobbit – Bilbo and Smaug’s Encounter

Bilbo Baggins finally meets Smaug in this final part, The Desolation of Smaug, of The Hobbit, the most man vs. myth moment in one's life, where an unassuming hobbit faces a fire-breathing dragon protecting a treasure hoard. The film endorses how wit can outsmart pure brute strength, as Bilbo outwits a fire-spitting dragon. Benedict Cumberbatch delivers fantastic voice work to raise tension in the scene. Bilbo's bravery against a legendary creature underscores Tolkien's recurring theme: even the most ordinary individuals can stand tall against the might of myth.
