(#10) Tetris
This TETRIS trailer has really made its rounds on the internet for the past few years, but the reason it's on this list isn't because it's simply memorable or because it's relatively well-made (all hail green screen).
It's because it's cheesy, it's 90's and completely ridiculous. Stretching reality and throwing around a concept like they do in this trailer is EXACTLY the type of crap they would pull if it were 1992 and a studio was forced to make a Tetris movie.
Look at the Super Marios Bros. movie, they didn't even TRY. Everything was a huuuuuuuuuge stretch of the imagination to even get into, the situations were cliched and the acting was corny.
This trailer not only brings all that 90's B-Movie wonder back to a new millenium, but brings it into a game even your grandma knows and loves.
The villain in this trailer is another fine example of the 90's cheesiness this trailer takes and makes its own. Absolutely wonderful. -
(#7) God of War
- 2005
What if Wes Andersen took the concept of one of the most outcast, daddy-issued characters in video game history and made a movie of the human version of him, with all the quirk we all love (and sometimes hate) in an indie comedy?
This video is your answer.
Hit the jump for the video itself. Many of us don't go out to see many of these indie dramedies anymore, cause really we've seen them all. But this is something we'd legitimately like to see finished.
The quirk of the movie lies in the idea that the fact that they're all Gods is a metaphor. Any weirdness, quirkyness or innate character flaws of any of the people in this movie come from the fact that they are just that type of God and that is their personality.
It speaks wonders of the human condition and volumes of the people who made it. Sure, a REAL God of War movie would be great, but making it unlike Clash of the Titans and meaningful is not exactly something we'd trust Hollywood with. So, we should probably have this movie instead. -
(#5) Microsoft Minesweeper
- 2008
Once again bring a simple-concept game into reality, this trailer basically makes minesweeper into Saving Private Ryan. This makes perfect sense, and it's actually kind of surprising that Hollywood hasn't done this yet (they ARE making a Monopoly movie AND a Bazooka Joe movie).
This trailer, and would-be movie, focuses on a small team of minesweepers who treat it like a game, even though it's a job.
There's one guy who's great, but we see many people get blown up, falling into the many traps and patterns we all have while sitting at a work computer or someone else's computer with absolutely nothing to do.
Most genius part of the trailer "c'mon, it's never the first one" *BLAM* -
(#6) Halo: Combat Evolved
- 2001
This was kind of a no-brainer, Halo WAS almost a movie. Halo was almost a movie made by PETER JACKSON. Halo also has some GREAT live-action trailers for their games that this particular person used to intersplice with what they shot.
This would probably be an unbelievably epic beginning to a Halo movie.
It's a series of old soldiers recalling the Halo war and why they made it through. They look back and they remember that they made it because of Master Chief.
A documentarian takes these old UNSC soldiers through a museum, recalling the wars as they told stories of how they made it through.
They all had one thing to say: Chief.
This trailer not only makes you want to see the movie TONIGHT, but shows you how great of a character Master Chief can be. He doesn't have to be that 3 dimensional because the reason people love him is because he's an ideal, he's a hero and he's the person that everyone needs, even if they don't know they do at the time. -
(#12) Super Mario Kart
- 1992
Making a movie of just about ANY Mario character would be damned near impossible (see: 1993), so this particular trailer isn't here because it's the greatest trailer in the world.
It's here because it takes an absolutely ridiculously stupid concept for a film (films contain STORY, NARRATIVE), but because of the credits in the rollcall at the end.
This movie uses parts of the Mario Bros movie starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, as well as scenes from Peter Jackson's King Kong for Donkey Kong, and scenes from Mario Bros. for Yoshi and makes a really stupid (yet realistic... THIS is how this movie would be, so let's hope this never happens) trailer for a really stupid movie. And it's hilarious.
The last character on the roll calls in the credits at the end of the trailer = why this is on this list. Watch it all, though. Earn it. Enjoy.

(#3) BioShock
- 2007
It's insane how many Bioshock movie fan trailers are out there, and how many of them are EXACTLY the same.
This one's slightly different, though, and therefore almost better right off the bat.
This one actually goes as far to show the plane before it crashes, as well as shows the crash (scenes from Castaway, we think). It then goes into the same voice over anyone who's EVER made a fake Bioshock trailer of ANY kind uses, but then goes on to include some really great underwater scenes, as well as scenes of torture, fear and intermixed Little Sister dialogue that makes this trailer effectively creepy.
Well done.
