Movie-Licensed Games That Might Not Suck

Thanks to GameSpot for their new mini-feature discussing movie licenses that might actually make decent games, as opposed to "every big-budget blockbuster getting a cheap and dirty game that is less a game and more a lackluster piece of promotional material." The suggested movies include Run Lola Run as a game "with hundreds of available outcomes", Battle Royale as a "twisted and sadistic" action title, and Fletch with "a Max Payne style of narration.. to represent Fletch's internal dialogue." But, the big question - do Slashdot Games readers have any better suggestions?

    Maybe it has and I missed it.

    A strategy one player game where you are the
    President of the USA. I shouldn't have to go
    into to much more detail. You can imagine how
    cool it could be made. Imagine an online version
    where you have to compete with others and run
    a full campaign. It would be the same type of deal
    where college kids and unemployed people would have
    a lot more time to campaign, but it could still
    be made very cool. Taking your country to the
    brink of war and back. Consulting with FBI and
    other sources on threat issues. Handling the
    media and the spin and the lobbyists and
    vetoing things. People like a game where they play
    a powerful character. How about the most powerful
    man in the free world?
