5 Games That Should Be Made Into Movies

There have been some downright turgid affairs dragged kicking and screaming from consoles onto the big screen in the past few decades. From the decidedly surreal Super Mario Bros to the downright painful Prince of Persia, gamers have never had it so bad. Books such as the Harry Potter series, Twilight and Hunger Games, to name but a few, have seen incredible returns both critically and commercially in some cases; why haven’t games been able to replicate the same success? The answer is simple: the wrong material has been chosen or, rather, it hasn’t been handled with the same care as the source material has for literature. Sure, books invariably make greater movies but I don’t hold the same hopes for the upcoming Shadow of the Colossus movie for example (undoubtedly one of the best examples of the ‘games are art’ movement). The following five films won’t win Oscars but they’d certainly be better than anything else that has graced theatre screens.

uncharted is already being made into a movie. at first i was going for nolan north, but after seeing the TV show firefly and Serenity i feel nathan Fillion is more fit for it.

It's Uncharted on the big screen ...... Doesn't mean it would be successful. In fact I don't want to see the series be made into a film because it wouldn't live up to it. Hollywood should get their hands off our games.

But there are already 4 Uncharted movies. You know, the ones where Drake is played by Harrison Ford, hunting for ancient treasures and whatnot... I think that the only differences between the games and the movies is that in the games they don't mention his fear of snakes and they ditched the iconic hat.

Why turn a perfectly good story into a boring 1.5 hour movie with bad actors and bad money-hungry producers? Plus, we don't want the rest of the world to taint our beloved stories. They are not deserving of such amazing works of art.

You can't turn SotC into a movie.
Uncharted in 1.5 hours would be bad.
RDR would actually be a horrible film if you think about it: Man gets family taken. Man does favors for everyone he doesnt know. Man goes to Mexico to find Billy Willy. Man kills Billy Willy. Man comes back and kills Dutch. Man finds out his family was in a house he has been riding past back and forth the whole time. Man gets SPOILERS killed. The ending + his son actually made the whole story good. But not as a movie.
