Film Junk Poll: What Board Game Would Make the Best Movie?
Alright, I know this is a pretty silly topic for a poll, but let’s not forget that they did make a movie based on Clue back in 1985! It is possible that Ridley Scott’s Monopoly movie isn’t as insane as it sounds, and since we may actually be seeing more board game movies in the near future, let’s give the matter some thought, shall we? I put together a poll of 10 possible games (admittedly, not all “board games” per se) that I thought might have potential for a feature film. Of course, this is one topic where 10 choices probably aren’t enough, so please do chime in with your own suggestions in the comments below.

I think chess could be a really interesting movie, giving every specific piece a character trait like having the pawns know they’re lowly and doomed to go first to the knight being chivalrous and the rooks being totally awesome, if done correctly (maybe by DelTorro) the movie could kick ass

Posted by Bob The Slob on November 12th, 2008What, no Scattergories? Wouldn’t it be awesome if they made a movie where every spoken word had to start with the same letter?
Ha, j/k, I think that would give me a headache. :S
Posted by Ashley on November 12th, 2008I vote magic, though I wouldn’t call it a board game.
And we already saw chess in harry potter.

Haven’t even heard of some of these games but Magic the Gathering movie is highly doable (and could be made into something legendary)!

Posted by garryj on November 13th, 2008I like the idea of Scattegories as well! Haha. Or what about Mad Gab? I’d see that movie!
I just read a post on Peterman’s Eye about board games- it’s awesome! Thought I’d share…

Posted by VikyRodss on August 23rd, 2009My sprint contract expires at the end of this month and I’m planning to switch providers to be able to get a cool phone. I’m stuck deciding between the iPhone 3G or the Blackberry Storm. I’ve looked at several reviews on youtube but I’d like to get feedback from the general public that uses either one of these devices. Has anyone experienced any problems with either phone that would make you not recommend it?
