Video games you'd like to see made into movies

As everyone knows video game based movies usually are just dreck. You'll get the occaisional good ones, for example Mortal Kombat and maybe Tomb Raider. But if you could get a really good video game based movie what game would you like to see turned into a movie?
I'd like to see Metal Gear Solid 3 turned into a movie. If only because it has one of the best stories and plot twist in a video game that i've ever seen.

I don't really play a lot of games but. .

Dungeon Keeper

Waxwork (this would make an awesome horror movie)

Leisure Suit Larry (Directed by John Waters)

Wasteland/Fallout

Prince of Persia

Veil of Darkness (could make an awesome suspense/thriller)

Gauntlet (better as a TV series)

Elite (could also work as a TV series)

Star Raiders/Space Raiders (ancient Atari game that had a comic adaptation.)

Adventure (ancient Atari game with a very simple fantasy premise that Hollywood can't possibly foul up)

Leather Goddesses of Phobos (dir by John Waters)

Blake Stone (this could be fun)

Corridor 7 (technically made as DOOM but...)

Doom (a movie actually following the GAME STORY)

And ANY of the Gold Box D&D games. An adaptation of those can't possibly be any worse than the official D&D movies.

I think Parasite Eve would make a good movie (yeah, I know there's a movie with the title out there, but from what I've heard it has virtually NOTHING to do with the game.)

Can't help but think Chronotrigger would make an awesome movie. I see it as an anime film myself.

(BTW, whatever happened to that series? They had a sequel, ChronoCross, and then, nothing...)

Portal

Very simple basic game that is extreme great. It could make a good movie or a good straight to DVD movie.

Devil May Cry would make a good action movie.
Golden Axe.
War of the Monsters from PS2

One game that I absouletly love is Eternal Darkness for the Gamecube. It's a very Lovecraftian game. You would need either a mini-series or a tv show to really flesh out the story and get the full effect. And make it a cable series so nothing would be toned down.

I like the way you think. Maybe give Waters a shot at "Custer's Revenge" also.

Now that you mention it Angelina Joile would be perfect for the role of "adventurer" in ADVENTURE, Brad Pitt could play the bat-creature, and Dennis Hopper could be the Dragons (both of 'em).

That's some BRILLIANT casting you came up with Rev. Powell!

Cheers

Think a friend had something like that for C=64. He had a disc full of weird games like that. Don't remember much about them, save there was one that had a camel in it and it was apparently a porno version of some popular trading game or somesuch.

But the "adult" games really worthy of a movie adaptation were the special agent hentai RPGs. Those were silly-fun, sort of like porn Tetris, with the "revealed" pics getting more and more risque the further into the game you got.

I've said too much haven't I?
