Oh yeah, The Beach. :) Personally, I loved the movie. I think he was playing a Rampage game on his GB also. The scene where he's in a game is funny, but the shark story scene is the one that got me.
"I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself."
I liked the Mortal Kombat movies and the Resident Evil movies. Mortal Kombat was tight seeing my favorite characters like Raiden and Shu Kang battle it out.
Does "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" count? I know it's a documentary, but it is based on a video game. Before the documentary they showed an episode of "Starcade" and some old video game commercials, which were just horrible. (They also showed trailers for "Tron" and "The Wizard.")

"Nothing can make it moral to destroy the best. One can't be punished for being good. One can't be penalized for ability. If that is right, then we'd better start slaughtering one another, because there isn't any right at all in the world." - Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
I liked the Resident Evil movies, especially Extinction. I shudder at the thought of the Mario movie, though...
Wasn't The Thirteenth Floor about being inside a videogame?
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
I think overall movies based on video games have a pretty poor batting record.
There is, however, one movie that at least pertially inspired two video games - with the video games being critically acclaimed and genre-breaking. The movie is camp, but great camp and both movie and video games have their cult followings.
The games are Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. Can anyone guess the movie?
Army of Darkness: "Come get some" and "It's time to chew bubble gum and kick some ass - and I'm all out of bubble gum" were actual lines in the movie that were repeated in DN3D while the chainsaw and sawed-off shotgun made their way into Doom.

You might find this an amusing read:

The first MK movie was good, the second...
Silent Hill was very average, I kinda liked it but they messed it in explaining aaaaaaall that happened to the girl. I was falling asleep at that.
Street Fighter was kick ass. Greatest video game movie EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and it was great.
Hmm...The Lawnmover Man of course. Liked the first but the second was terrible.
Inside Man has a kid playing some GTA game on his PSP.
Maybe we should have two threads, one for "video games made into movies" and one for "movies featuring video games in some way".
