Badmovies.org Forum

Since everyone around here has discussed bad video games turned into films, let's go one better:  What movies would you hate to be turned into video game properties?

I think some terrible ones would include:
Ordinary People
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Big Chill

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind playing a game based on Casablanca.

I would hate to see a video game of The Gods Must Be Crazy ~ you would probably lose a life every time you got hit on the head with a Coke bottle.  :drink:

I agree with Casablanca ~ I also wouldn't mind to have a video game of Shaun Of The Dead or my favourite movie, Steve Carver's An Eye For An Eye with Mr Chuck Norris.  :teddyr:

1.) Brokeback Mountain - for obvious reasons...then again it could be of interest to some...
2.) The Crying Game - see above

1. Schindler's List
2. Trainspotting

1. The Ten Commandments
2. The Nativity Story
3 the Passion Of The Christ

Now I listed these because they are 3 films I can't see it possible to make a video game out of that any gamer would play. Please do not take this as an opening to debate religion because my motives had nothing to do with it.

They turned the film Prince of Egypt into a game, so I wouldn't rule it out !

Don't forget to add in "The Greatest Story Ever Told". 

Some more films that shouldn't be made into a game. Most of these because of bad taste.

Ray
The Rosa Parks Story
Coal Miner's Daughter
Walk the Line
The Elephant Man
The Ringer
A Beautiful Mind
My Left Foot
Shine
The Kite Runner

I would say Dirty Dancing, but they already made into a "video game".  Just check this out http://www.spoonyexperiment.com/2008/08/03/dirty-dancing-pc-review/ (http://www.spoonyexperiment.com/2008/08/03/dirty-dancing-pc-review/)

As for movies that haven't been turned into a game but I don't want it to happen to...

The Dark Knight (I already know they are working on it, but I hope they drop it because it would be as good as the movie)
The Blob

There's more, but I would have to think on it for a little bit.

ON GOLDEN POND
THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL
LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD
OLD YELLER
SALO

ET for Atari 2600 may have just met his match...

Forest Gump

Mrs. Doubtfire...imagine the game's plot line;

"Successfully prevent your kids, ex wife and local social worker from disovering you are their cross dressing nanny!  Enjoy several missions such as "hide the pantyhose", "sit down peeing", and many others!"

Imagine getting a flashing warning "SPIT LEVEL LOW".

MY DINNER WITH ANDRE

Ghandi would make a bad game. 

However, Ghandi 2 from UHF would be great because he's no longer Mr. Passive Resistance..

2 GIRLS 1 CUP

Chariots Of Fire

Actually, I can see this one as an arcade unit.  It would have one big button and as the story progresses, you have to pound the button faster to fight the gag reflex of the on-screen "players".

 :teddyr:

You talents are wasted on this site. Whay aren't you working for Nintendo ?

Matango
The Descent
Knockaround Guys
Assault on Precinct 13
Cloverfield

I can only imagine that these would be as good as the Fight Club video game, or the Reservoir Dogs one.

Gorillas in the Mist...barrel of laughs that game  :bluesad:

Love the ideas.  I'll add the following movies to the list

The Way we Were
The Room (2003)
Titanic
The Prince of Tides

But I think I'd purchase one based on Suspiria.

mississippi burning

the accused

a civil action (**level 2** "you must make it to the clinic before your child expires to obtain power-up")  ...shiver

As long as this is the John Carpenter version, I would buy that game. :smile:

Love Story
Midnight Express
Last Tango In Paris
Any Woody Allen film
Caligula

Maybe the controller interface requires you to sit on the joystick.  :buggedout:

Monster a go go
manos
ZaAt

LOL ... I would play that! But I want to be able to use the guns from Turok 64!

You know, I can't find the picture for it, but I remember they had a thing on Something Awful's Photoshop Priday forums like Video Games You Won't See or such that had Schindler's List as an LCD hand held game... it was pretty tasteless...

Have to see if I can find it.

Roundhay garden scene
The Shawshank redemption
Twilight
Citizen Kane
Dr. Strangelove
Its a wonderful life
Cannibal Holocaust
Jonas Brothers: The 3D concert experience

Tetsuo the Iron Man.
