7) Big Trouble in Little China- 3rd person action adventure style

I personally don't think it would work too well, but it could be done I guess. I think you would have to exclude too many things from the film in order to make a game work with it.

Anyway, I never gave this much thought really, but off the top of my head:

1) Men in Black I/II - I think this could make for a really good game actually, where you are given a goal headquarters by headquarters and can achieve it in any way you like. "Find *x* and bring him back to HQ. *insert reason for aforementioned goal*"

2) Johnny English - Here you could play the game with "Johnny-vision", meaning that you get some objectives. "Land on the roof of the building" and you get out with your parachute, land on the building, and it turns out it's the wrong building. "Get to the top of the cliff" and the pipe gets marked as the obvious way up, the way Johnny sees it. This could then turn out to be much more challenging than taking the nearby ladder, including having shit dropped in your head :P

I could probably get more, but I can't be assed right now.

 

Men In Black came out for the PC in Windows 95 days, it was pretty bad. That said, Im sure if redone from scratch, it could be good. Have you ever rode the Men In Black ride at Universal Studios? Combination ride/laser tag game. Absolutely awesome.

More then a video game buff, I am a film buff and I would love to see certain films taking the video game conversion (considering they are done well).

 

here are my top 10:

1) the goonies - monkey island style adventure game with multiple characters to play with in various sections

 

The Goonies came out on the NES, not bad game for its time =)

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

@Faxanadu:

Kill Bill has already been turned into a game... It's called Ninja Gaiden ;)

OK, not really, in fact the story/characters have nothing to do with Kill Bill's, but the combat is just as fast and visceral ;)

 

NJ5 did you know kill bill is actually taken from 2 films. one is Lady Snowblood the original Bride (not uma thurman) and the 2nd is battle royal. both kill bill and Lady Snowblood are art films and Ninja Gaiden is hack and slash (kill bill has no monsters either :s). 

I think the game that fits Kill Bill better would b Yakuza. More story, art and kick a55 in a truly gratifying sense without the (i'm gonna break the game. AAAGGHHHHHH the difficulty of this game is evil and frustrating and the game must have been designed by satan).

 

p.s. you killed MikeB tsk tsk

1) The Princess Bride: I'm seeing some sort of action-RPG.

2) The Big Lebowski: I don't know why, but I can't get the thought of this as an old-school Acclaim 2D platformer out of my head. You play as The Dude, who throws bowling balls at mobsters.

3) Boondock Saints: A co-op third-person shooter.

4) Dead Alive/Brain-Dead: A comedic take on Resident Evil.

5) Eraserhead: A baby-raising simulator. :D



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

No, I haven't. I've never been to the US in my life :/

Is there already a video game that was made based on the Resident Evil movies?

I really think the sanity meter would be appropriate for an Aguirre game. I think it was actually designed just for that.

Also, "Fitzgeraldo" might be quite an intriguing video game...
