Game-related/inspired movies

Tools    





This is mostly geared toward long-time gamers and probably won't appeal to anyone else but...I was just wondering, what are some game-related movies you like?

Two that I can think of off the top of my head are The Wizard, and EXistenZ.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)





I'm not old, you're just 12.
I second Scott Pilgrim. That was awesome.

I personally don't think that there have been many, if any, good movies based on video games. For me, I'd rather PLAY a game, the movies lack the interactivity. Plus, they always change the storylines. Resident Evil the movie has almost NOTHING to do with the games.

But Super Mario Brothers remains a guilty pleasure of mine. It's so bad it's good. I mean Mojo Nixon is in it as Toad! That's pure awesome.

Let me preface this by saying that I am fully prepared to get some criticism for this. I really enjoyed "Sucker Punch" and the fantasy-fight scenes totally had the video game vibe going on:

Yeah, good pick. I saw that one way back and remember it was neato.

I will have to see that!



I don't know if this technically counts... but the movie "The Game" certainly floored me oh so many years ago.

The ultimate game really.
