Dragonslayer is a favorite of mine. Not only does it take a good stab at historical accuracy -- the king's clothing, for instance, is only a little better quality than that of his subjects; the setting is post-Roman Britain, hardly glamorous; the "magic" language is plain ol' Vulgar Latin -- but the animation of the dragon and her cubs has hardly ever been equaled.
Reign of Fire (2002)
Forgot about that one...excellent movie!
Wow! I collated a list from this thread for my 15 year old. He enjoyed the Indiana Jones franchise so these are great suggestions (even for me).

Really appreciating all the suggestions guys!!
I have two that I don’t think have been mentioned. One might seem like it’s a sports move but it’s actually an adventure/growing up move disguised as a sports movie.
The Sand Lot
The Martian (can’t remember the rating so you might want to check first)

Wow ... some real old-timers there ... great stuff. I'm trying to get him to watch as much John Wayne as I can.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you mean this one:

I'd kill for either of those sweaters! Stylin'!
Wait a minute. The one on the right is wearin' a robe!

There are always "Captain Blood" (1935) and "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938, and in color)--both with Errol Flynn swashing his buckles (or whatever swashbucklers do).
These really are the models for many a costume adventure film, so why not enjoy the originals?
One of my other adventure favorites? Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (1954) with Kirk Douglas and James Mason as Captain Nemo.
Oh, yes, not to forget the two Angelina Jolie "Lara Croft" motion pictures (2001, 2003.) Great fun!

That reminds me: Treasure Island and the Swiss Familu Robinson are also good ones. Journey to the center of the Earth (the original and the remake are also good).
There is also a real cool series called Dinotopia in the Action/Adventure genre:

Dinotopia (TV Mini Series 2002) - IMDb
Dinotopia: With David Thewlis, Katie Carr, Jim Carter, Alice Krige. After a plane crash, two opposing half-brothers find themselves on an amazing lost island where enlightened pacifist humans and intelligent talking dinosaurs have created a utopian medieval society. But imminent disaster approaches.

Hunt for the wilder people on Netflix
also the forbidden kingdom is a good action adventure movie for teens.
