This thread has made me think about what (other) games should never, for the good of all mankind, be made into films

Mine:
Custer's Revenge
Tetris
 
Pretty much all of them except MGS games. Halo has the potential to be cool with Jackson and Spielberg...but I'm not keeping my hopes up.
 
Command and Conquer.

"OH NO! SIR! WE ARE OUT UF TIBERIOOM!"
"HOLY CRAP! WE NEED TO MOVE!"
"Bujt the nod haveus surrounded...!"
"SO MAKE SOMEUNITS TO KILL EM WIT!"
"WE HAVE NO TIBERIUM!"
"D:"
"-load save game-"
"WTF R U DOIN SIR?!"
"I DUNNO!"
"I KNOW! TEXT THE COMMENTATOR! HE'll tell us where to go!"
"I DISABLED TEH COMMENTATOR!"
"RETARD~!"
"CHEATeR!"
"ILLITERATE!"
"...ilisterate? wtf dus that meen?"
"..."

Afterwards, the nods rushed and pwnt the GDI, and the alien doohickeys (forget name) ambushed the Nod base as they were all gone. Tiberium aliens win.
...actually, that'd make a good comedy.
Anyone have any skills in flash?
 
I laughed at the thought of Tetris the movie. Lol.

Games that should never, ever be made into films?

Street Fighter, Doom, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Mario Brothers, anything to do with Nintendo, etc.

Oh, too late? I can still pretend they don't exist, can't I?

BTW how did Silent Hill turn out? Anyone like it?

Silent Hill was a decent movie, I've only played The Room... so I really can't say if it followed the first one at all.
It was a disturbing flick nonetheless.
 
Absolutely any game could be made into a decent film if you gave a good director complete creative control over the project.

The ones that fail are those that stubbornly still believe themselves to be games. Or those that are directed by idiots, obviously.

Big Rigs the Movie!

I downloaded big rigs. I have no words to describe it. All I want to do now is to forget the day I played it. Forever.

Wolfenstein movie would suck. Mutants and zombies in WWII. Fantastic.
 
Unreal Tournament series
Quake series
Anything by Blizzard(unless they're CGI)
 
Half-Life! Unless the script is undadadoozly fab, like on a par with The Godfather or something.
 
Whaat? Yeah, it would be hard to imagine Diablo being a good movie, but Warcraft and StarCraft? I can already see marines suffering a Zergling Rush.
Well Warcraft is getting a movie.

I could definently see Starcraft being a movie. Wc and Sc games(actually even diablo) have an incredible amount of story to go with them.

I would love to see a Starcraft movie. A huge terran base being invaded by the zerg would be awesome. Think the Starcraft: BW cinematic x1000000.
