There have been a recent slew of movies, created from online games---
Resident Evil, and so on.

I can remember seeing CLUE ahwile back, the board game come to the theater-

And I really did like it- but there haven't been many that way.

Anyone have any games to movies they liked ??

Tomb Raider? I saw the second one. It was pretty good.

Super Mario Bros, back in the 90s. It kind of sucked though.

Actually I thought Sin City had been a comic first - not so much a game. :confused:

Yes. Believe it or not, Jeremy Irons was in it.

It was a comic first.

House of the Dead is another movie based on a video game.

Good game, I'm sure the movie is crap.

Other ones include:

Mortal Kombat
Wing Commander
Final Fantasy
Double Dragon

Yes My mistake, it was a comic...got my genres confused there for a bit.

I had forgotten about Super Mario Bros--wow. Time Warp!

But along those lines, Final Fantasy, and Mortal Combat have to go in. And Alone int he Dark as most recent...

I kinda liked Street Fighter and the Mortal Kombat movies, even though those flicks have been deemed as one of the worst films at IMDB.com. :p

Clue came to theaters in 1985, well over 20 years ago. That's not "a while back," that's a long time ago. :lol:

The SMB movie is the ABSOLUTE WORST movie I have EVER had the (un)fortunate chance of viewing. :thumbsdow

I saw Clue recently, when I bought the DVD - I bought it because it has Christopher Lloyd in it. I really, really liked it. It was silly, yes, and I didn't entirely understand the explanations - there were three different endings, with different murderers each time - but I thought it was hilarious.
