As has been known for decades by now, movies based on video games are..... bad. Really bad. Really, really bad. So far there has been not a single video game movie which can be classified as an actually good movie. While this might change at some point in the future (for example the possibility that John Carpenter might return to do a Dead Space movie) it is clear that as it stands, the genre is beyond redemption or repair.

However, I ask that you who have seen a good variety of such films in your life, take a moment to list your top 3 vidya game movies along with a brief explaination for why you "liked" them so that together, we may collectively decide upon even a single video game movie that does not suck platypus afterbirth.

For now, here is my list

1) Street fighter: While a classic example of "so bad its good", this movie does one thing that thus far no other video game movie has done for me so far. Entertained me. This film is actually enjoyable to watch... even if 99% of that is due to the eternally awesome Raul Julia. Just goes to show how hilarious some video game movies might have been if they did not take themselves so seriously.

2) Silent hill: If you mentally replace all the dialogue with lines that actually make sense, have depth, or at the very least are not so fucking stupid or pretentious, you have a half decent flick when combined with the ok effects

3) Resident Evil 1: *stress sigh if given a different title and with all hackneyed and forced attempts to reference the game cut out, would be a mildly ok zombie flick, since many of the most idiotic moments in the film are attempts to shoehorn game references in where they have no real need to.
