1. Tron
2. Mortal Kombat -- It was good if you like fighting movies. However, the story of the original MK is nearly identical to Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon, which is why I like it.
3. Resident Evil

I think that is about it, but here's three.

Max Payne sounds like the better of all those. Hmmm... let me 'get' Max Payne and give it a run again.

Also... SIMS?! WTF?! What's next? A Tetris movie?

 Tron isn't a movie based on a game, it's a game based on a Movie. =P

 I think that ever since the Mario Movie flopped (it deserved to) Nintendo hasn't wanted to license any of their games to be movies, which is probably a good thing.

 There is a trailer on YouTube for what looks to be like a very low-budget possibly student-made movie of Ocarina of Time. It said coming in 2006 so I'm guessing it never got made.
