Movies That Deserve Video Game Adaptations

We have come across tons of lists about video games that should be made into movies. This time, we have compiled a list of movies that deserve to have their own video game adaptations.
1. Saving Private Ryan/Fury/Inglorious BastErds/Band Of Brothers/A Bridge Too Far
World War 2 makes a great first person shooter. Be it the early Call Of Duty entries or the Medal Of Honor games, we have played a lot of amazing WW2 games, but none of them ever had a good story to tell. They were mostly okay adventures. But these movies, on the other hand, are beautifully written stories and have the amount of action needed to make want to play a WW2 first person shooter with a campaign mode that has these 5 stories to choose from. Win-win!
2. John Wick
This Keanu Reeves-starrer was a surprise for us all. John Wick's plotline about a man wanting to take revenge is similar to that of Max Payne. A third-person shooter, with a plethora of hand-to-hand combat and stealth elements, John Wick can make a really captivating video game adaptation, if done right.
3. Inception
Christopher Nolan's Inception was a mammoth masterpiece. The whole idea of entering people's dreams to hijack their ideas or to plant another memory is massive on its own right. The movie had us guessing a lot. Now imagine a universe sort of like Assassin's Creed but instead of entering the Animus, you are now entering their dreams. The game will follow Dominick Cobb and his team as they will penetrate people's dreams to extract information or even plant new memories. Marks could range from wealthy businessmen to politicians. And since, the whole setting is based on dreams; the locations can vary from damp surfaces to icy mountains with the varying shift to the laws of physics. Gamers can approach missions in their own way and perform stunts the way they want to and as the experience points increase, they could dream up even better weapons.
4. Goodfellas
While Mafia was sort of based on Goodfellas, this movie deserves a game on its own. Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro are sensational in this Martin Scorsese masterpiece about the mafia. A third-person shooter would do just fine for a story this great.
5. Die Hard
John McClane's Christmas didn't go as planned. But hey! Die Hard is the magnum opus of action movies where the lone hero defies the odds while Hans Gruber is an antagonist we will always remember. Does it make a good game? It really does. The movie has the premise to be an amazing third-person shooter with monumental odds at stake.
6. The Bourne Trilogy
Action, suspense and three movies that do not require us saving Matt Damon is a win for us all. The Bourne Trilogy will make an interesting experience for espionage-lovers.
