Iv'e just watched the Hitman, which is a great game but the movie just didn't cut it, the plot and casting left alot to be desired.

I have never seen Final Fantasy the movie, again a great game but from what I can gather the movie wasn't all that.

Tomb Raider: Again a fantastic game (After all why base a movie on a shite game). Tomb raider the movie really wasn't that bad at all IMO, with the added bonus of being Angelina Jolie-tastic.

Have I missed any? And if you had the choice of any game to mad into a movie what would it be?

Forgot about resident evil, not a vad watch, and I didn't know that a movie from doom had been made.

Street fighter was pretty much what I expected it to be but Super Mario??? Did they REALLY make a super Mario Movie?

Oh, In forgot about Silent Hill, again a fantastic game but the movie was a mojor dissapointment. The movie just did not do the scariness of the game any justice whatosever.

Re: Games that might make good movies:

Max Payne could be a good'un, as could command and conquer which with the Tiberium wars and the hand of nod ect. could make for an outstanding sci-fi war movie if done properly.

Tron was inspired by video games but not actually based on one of the same title. Good film though.

I don't really get why people think it's a good idea. And most the time they suck.

Bloodrayne was also made into a movie - is was probably more the leather and lesbien content that helped rather than the quality of this sub-standard 3rd person shooter.

Conversely, games based on movies are always utter shite (with Goldeneye being the one exception to the rule).

I'm not so sure, Medal of Honour. European Assault was based on Saving private Ryan which was a blinder, as are most Star Wars based Games.

The Godfather is a damned good game as well.
