Well there've been quite a few film-to-game conversions started up recently. Resident Evil, House of the Dead, even Crazy Taxi...but what about the poor little games that haven't got picked up? Here are some ideas.
Super Monkey Ball - A chilling sci-fi flick based around four monkeys (Baby, Ai-Ai, Gon-Gon and The Other One I Always Forget) that wake up one day trapped inside spheres, rolling around mazes. One by one they meet their grizzly death, falling off edges, running out of time or by playing mini-games such as Crazy Bowling. Who put them there? Who built the mazes? What are they gonna do when they need the toilet? Featuring the voices of Woody Allen, Eddy Murphy, Drew Barrymore and Pete Sampras.
Stuntman - A film following the thrilling life of a stuntman who does stunts for films. Full of intrigue, mystery and an annoying director that keeps informing you of sharp turns a few seconds after you pass them. Featuring cameos from Vinnie Jones and Liza Kudrow, the film would be endless because it'd keep having to restart at the beginning, because it messes up.
Pokemon Red/Blue - A prequel to the other Pokemon films, this could be a recreation of the story from Pokemons Red and Blue. With Danny DeVito as Ash and that stupid kid from Stuart Little as Pikachu, hours of annoying random battles and badly translated Engrish dialogue could make this one a winner.
Dead or Alive Xtreme Volleyball - This would surely be a very boobs game! Sorry, did I say boobs there? I meant to say boobs. Boobs. ( . )( . ) BOOBS! Lots of lovely sand and bikinis, and bouncing around. Boobs. Featuring Jennifer Love Boobies, Pamela Booberson, Boobifer Aniston and Christina Boobsi. Boobs boobs. Boobs. BOOOOOOBS.
Championship Manager - Taking the explosive storyline from the game, this surefire 18 would include all the sex, guns and training menus from the CD rom and project it onto the screen. With dozens of background pictures, crowd effects during matches and options to appeal to the FA and to scout other teams, this could be THE blockbuster of 2004. Featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as 'save game' and Chris O'Donnell as 'transfer negotiations'.
Fifa - With Vin Diesel, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez in starring roles, a soundtrack featuring The Vines, Alanis Morrisette, The Streets, Foo Fighters and Guns and Roses and an opening sequence that cost over £980m, Fifa has it all...except for a storyline. It would just be occasional talking, then a song, then some more talking, then an explosion, then the end. But everyone would have real names, and stuff.
Rez - Rez, a psychadelic drug-fuelled adventure, will see you discovering strange electric monsters living in your finger, and a dancing rainbow trying to eat the Queen...on top of your eleventh nostril! 120 minutes of pure, unadulterated weirdness that will give small children nightmares for weeks, and cause millions of epileptic fits.
Time Crisis - Guns guns, briefcases, guns, young women being kidnapped, more briefcases, guns, boss, guns, boss, guns, guns, guns, NINJAS, guns, train, boss, guns, boss, MORE NINJAS...and guns! With Bruce Willis as 'The Dark Haired One' and Nick Nolte as 'The Blonde One', this all action thriller would have you on the edge of your light gun pedal! Featuring double-screen showings, and a special '3 tickets for 2 credits' offer.
Perferct Dark - The long awaited sequel to a really good film, this would be a huge let down. An incomprehensibly long winded, complicated plot full of double-turning cross-eyes bad guy death fakering, annoying aliens with silly voices and bad set design, as well as a main protaganist that comes off as a stupid loser that goes by the book rather than a cool sharp-shooting rebel. Featuring Carol Vorderman as Jo Dark, and Vern Troyer as Elvis.
Pong - One black screen. Two white paddles. One white ball. Two scores. One game. The first movie ever to be made entirely on an Amiga, this tense 2D thriller would see beeping, wall shots and crushing defeat for one player...but which? Featuring the voices of David Duchovny and Olivia Newton John.
Are there any games you wish they'd make into a game, but will probably never make it to Hollywood? Please, post your ideas here.

Not at all. I hope you know what I was getting at, as explaining will kill the joke :-)

I think he wanted to be pedantic really (or "podantic" as he put it).
Good post by the way, though I hope where you say "first movie made completely on an Amiga" you aren't trying to suggest that Amigas are insignificant machines! ;-P
Amigas Rule.

It's pedantic, and it's obvious what I meant.

I don't want to be podantic but games aren't generally made into games.

I don't want to be podantic but games aren't generally made into games.
