After THOR: RAGNAROK, Try...



Marvel's latest offering handily dominated the post-Halloween box office this last weekend. If you loved Ragnarok's blend of sci-fi, fantasy, and humor, you may be interested in checking these items out.

Big Trouble in Little China - a clueless trucker finds himself in the middle of an occult ritual and a supernatural battle between good and evil. Plenty of magic and weirdness, and tons of laughs.

Midnight Run - After an accountant steals millions from the mob, he's sent on a cross-country journey to evade the mob, the FBI, and bounty hunters. The director of Thor: Ragnarok (Taika Waititi) listed this buddy crime comedy caper as one of his inspirations for his film.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Another intergalactic road trip full of goofs and gags, this classic book was also turned into a film.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople: Check out the director of Ragnarok's previous feature film. This coming of age story features a wild chase through the New Zealand bush.

Norse Mythology: Looking for the source of Thor's adventures? Check out Neil Gaiman's latest take on retelling the old Norse myths. This bestseller is a fun, quick way to bring ancient mythology back to the present.

Thor Comics : Or why not check out some actual Thor comics? This series in particular is referenced quite heavily in Ragnarok - especially volume 3.

Stop by the Reader Services or Audiovisual desks for even more suggestions. You might also love our "On the Road" list of films located here.
