"Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg and "The Bourne Identity"

I think District 9 would be a nice candidate.

Ohhhhh hell yea.

depends, are you the guys trying to get there weapons or are you the guy that messed with that container ?
if the later, it could be fun.
former, ouch

Ghost the movie with patrick swayzee... I would soooo play that

Honestly, I'm not often pleased with games made out of existing film franchises.

A movie is relatively short and contains a very definite, defined plot. There aren't a whole lot of places for the game version to go then-- it's often either very on rails and predictable (being exactly like the movie, just with me pulling the trigger rather than watching someone do it), or it starts undoing the movie's plot via retrocons or flat out inconsistencies. A TV show has more space for a game to fit in because they are much longer, so there are more tantalizing story threads to follow without shredding the canon.

That's not to say that they can't be balanced, but just that it's very hard to do. For example, I liked the second Matrix movie well enough, but I did not like Enter the Matrix. It focused on characters who were mostly irrelevant to the films, reduced others to gimmicky caricatures (Persephone will give stuff to anyone as long as they kiss her? So much for her deeper characterization in the movie), and set up events which I knew for a fact could not have any impact on the story, because things worked out in the movies without any of the game's characters actions being involved, even indirectly.

The setting of the Matrix movies would be a very interesting place to play a video game, I think. But it would have to take place before the films, since the movie plots were already dense and messy by the end-- and this is especially true because you don't get to play as (or even interact with) Neo.

Movies can be interesting and good, and sometimes have interesting premises that would be fun to explore in a video game medium. But a game version of a movie seems a lot less fun to me in general.

That being said, there are a lot of concepts in movies that might be fun. If you could come up with a good game mechanic, Memento's premise could make for a fun and interesting game.

[spoiler]So you play as a blind guy with a blank screen and headphones. Sounds thrilling and insanely hard, but it would be interesting if you saw sounds on your screen.[/spoiler]

I'd like to see Bioshock the movie get released.

Finding a copy is probably pretty hard now, but try and hunt up Star Trek TNG: A Final Unity. Probably the best Star Trek licensed game I've played.

The Butterfly Effect

I'd love to play a game where you go deep into the past and change things that completely alter the reality of present day.

Fantasy Mission Force
Ninja Terminator
Caged Heat 3000

Black Dynamite

Who said the game had to be an FPS?

id Love to see a Crysis Movie, but so far there is no date as to when it will be published.
and Hopefully it is at least as good as the games it depicts.

Run Lola Run (or Groundhog's Day) - Majora's Mask showed that a game structured around optimizing your route through a repeating scripted sequence can be fascinating. No other game that I know of does this, so why not?

You actually liked Majora's Mask? Hmmmm first person I've ever met that actually liked that one.

That's a little sad: I personally think it's a superior game to Ocarina of Time, but definitely a quirkier taste. It has a mood unlike any other Zelda in the series (dark, mystical and sad), very intelligent multi-dimensional puzzles (particularly regarding the ones in Clock Town) , and a sense of urgency that keeps you always moving forward. A really amazing and under-appreciated game, in my opinion it's the second best in the series (just behind A Link to the Past).
