The only ones i know of are these:

Longtime Dead
Does anybody know of any more like this?

My interpretation of The Exorcist involves the JINN...this connects the direction of Islamic teachings..

Poltergeist 2..the old man reminds me of a Jinn.

Or are you after Jinns who come in the form of Wish-givers?




Bullshyt MR han-man!!

reply

Yes i am after jinns who come out in the form of wish-givers.

I'm interested in movies about djinn closer to actual folklore, if anyone wants to answer this billion year old thread.

It's not a creature you often see depicted.

reply

There is a novie called "Djinn". simple as that. And it is not so bad either.

The Lamp.

I don't know what's a sig. line? Can't think of one! Can you tell me what one is?

reply

That is the one I first thought of.

reply

Yes, whenever someone asks about a djinn film on the I Need To Know board...it's usually The Lamp.

The Outing (1987)

I'm assuming you didn't want cartoons, or else you'd have Aladdin, a DuckTales movie and so on.

There was also Kazaam with Shaquille O'Neal, from 1996, but that was a pretty silly kids movie.

As for TV, there was an episode of the X Files (7:21 - Je Souhaite), Pee-wee's Playhouse has Jambi, and there is, of course, I Dream of Jeannie.

I have a list for movies and TV I've seen with djinn in them. I'll add to it as I watch more.

Thanks for the couple I hadn't heard of, everybody.

This isn't the focus of the movie, so not what you're looking for, but... the White Witch (Jadis) in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is actually a Jinni. She has Edmund wish for the Turkish Delight.
