Yes, every game movie is terrible, but is there a movie ABOUT video games better than The King of Kong? I'm watching it over again today, and there is just so many classical, awesome scenes that are scattered throughout the movie. I know Wizard is another movie about games... any more to throw in there?
Best movie about video games?
I think Resident Evil was a solid movie overall, a good 3/5 stars. I'd like to see what a good director could do with Castlevania. Unfortunately, the rights rest in the hands of the same guy that did Resident Evil - and he has fallen the fuck off.

" a movie ABOUT video games "
" Second SkinThey sound promising. King of Kong is just incredibly good, however. I watched it recently with a friend and we applauded at the end, alongside a few utterances of 'billy mitchell, you bastard...'

All of these are documentaries. "
"Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the ArcadeThis one is really good. It's mostly about the early days of arcades if you are into that, but it is full of great interviews with those pioneering game makers. The whole movie is up on YouTube: Chasing Ghosts Parts 1 - 8

"a castlevania movie could be good, but they would have to keep it serious and the character would have to be perfect
" @mm665 said:I agree, this movie is quite good. Not as good as King of Kong which has the dramatic story line, but very imformative about the "golden age of gaming" and the gamers who were assembled in 1982 for the famous LIFE magazine photo shoot, etc."Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the ArcadeThis one is really good.

Gives a more realistic impression of Billy Mitchell as well. Kong portrays him as such a bastard (which he is), but this movie gives a more well rounded image of him, not trying to show things about him which seem nasty.
