Another movie in the same cosmopolitan pilothouse , The Emoji Movie , a cinema about mobile headphone / social medium icons , is more acclaimed than the vast number of picture based on nipper ’s games , but there ’s still some worthy of a vigil , especially when looking for family - friendly features .
And yield on these form of movie does n’t seem to be slow down down anytime soon , as there ’s even a Rubik ’s Cube moviecurrently in developing . irrespective of critical eclat , there ’s a lot to have intercourse about most of them , and some of them are so tough that they ’re good .
Dungeons & Dragons (2000)
Being free-base on the famous role - play game , the melodic theme of gain aDungeons & Dragonsmovie sound pretty easy , consider most of the game is establish on players ’ resource . But that was n’t exactly the case , as the movie was critically deride upon its waiver 20 years ago .
However , it does feature some moment that are so uproariously bad that it establish it fun to watch out . There ’s even go to be a remaking , which isin the middle of castingat the moment , and if there ’s any movie that needs a remaking , it ’s this one .
Hide And Seek (2005)
The movie might be calledHide and Seekand the tagline might be , “ get along out , come out , wherever you are , ” but this is by no means a movie for kids . Hide and Seekis slackly based on the kids ’ secret plan , but it takes a turn for the bad , as it star Robert De Niro in one of the very few horror pic he ’s ever made .
The movie is about a girl who endlessly plays blot out and seek with an fanciful admirer , and it ’s unbelievably creepy-crawly but ultimately for the most part derivative of many other much well repulsion movies .
Witchboard (1987)

Mars Attacks! (1996)
Though it might not seem likeMars Attacksis establish on any existing cloth , specially not anything related to a kids ’ game , director Tim Burton was inspired to make one of thedeadliest Martian invader moviesafter make for a trading card series make by Topps in the 60s , and the movie is very muchbased on those cards .
The outcome is fascinating , as it ’s clearly from the mind of a mid-90s Burton at the meridian of his power , with the movie being as close as it maybe can to the trading cards , which draw aliens slaughtering mankind in an passing elaborate fashion .
Battleship (2012)
Battleshipis one of the few alieninvasion movie that massively founder at the box office , and not even the stunt molding of Rihanna playing a soldier could save this ship from sink . The motion-picture show took some monolithic liberties with the kids ’ game , as the film sees the military facing off against an unknown alien airstream , even though the secret plan is completely unrelated to aliens , but there ’s only so much lore a card game has .
Still , the movie does its full with how far they can stretch the narrative , and as big and loud as it is , the picture show can be enjoy for exactly that , being a fun enough popcorn flick .
Candy Land: The Great Lollipop Adventure (2005)
A lineal - to - DVD reanimate movie based on the Hasbro game of the same name , Candy Land : The Great Lollipop Adventurefollows Jib and his friends prove to protect the land from the evil Lord Liquorice .
The pic is full of colorful animation and huge melodic number , and it ’s almost like the cinematic version of what happen when Thomas Kid eat too much sugar . The full motion-picture show is now on YouTube and it in reality has millions of view , meaning it ’s more successful than it ever was when it was release on VHS .
The Divine Move (2014)
Being the only foreign oral communication movie based on a fry ’ game , The Divine Moveis highly underrated . The movie dally dissolute and unaffixed with the beginning stuff , but it ’s found on the game of Baduk , also named Go in the West .
It ’s a meta - movie , as it follows a Baduk histrion on the seeking for revenge , which end up becoming almost like a alive - action version of the game . The title of the motion-picture show mention to a move that is consider to only happen once in a lifetime , but it ’s a bit of a spoiler for what happens at the ending .
Ouija (2014)
Witchboardisn’t the only movie based on the creepy board plot on the top shelf of the closet , asOuijaattempts to spook audience even further with a less campy and more haunting take on the game .

However , the film still did vast number at the worldwide box office , which led to the movie getting one of thebest horror sequels , and it ’s well adept than its predecessor .
Tag (2018)
In many ways , Tagis the ultimate flick based on a kids ’ game , as it is n’t a control board biz , it is n’t a set of trading cards , and the IP does n’t belong to to any specific company , as it ’s just a schoolyard game . The movie is a lot of fun , and it seems like the actors are having more sport making the movie than the audience is watching , as the film literally plays out like the most epic plot of Tag ever .
On top of that , out of all the movies base on kids ’ games , this one sports an all - principal cast , include Jeremy Renner , Ed Helms , and Jon Hamm , and as they all have empty-headed attitudes on - screenandoff - screen , it ’s a pleasure to learn .
Clue (1985)
With the actual game ofCluehaving a dissimilar outcome every time it ’s play , the movie does the good it can at replicating that feeling . Out of all of the kids ’ picture show today , Clueis possibly the only one that is seen as a genuinely quality film that put up on its own without being propped up by its generator material .
It is realize as a brilliant musical composition of work by critics and ecumenical hearing , and it sport some terrifically hammy performances from Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd , which is just one of the waysClueis abetter murder mystery movie thanKnives Out .
