Captain America: TWS first 20 or so minutes was straight up MGS2 Tanker.

Movies that remind you of Videogames

Inception is the classic one, it's practically a movie about designing games and navigating through levels.
But recently, I found the end of 'The Lego Movie' to be very similar to the end of
I'm afraid I have no idea how to spoiler that better than I have - there's no way of not giving it away. I'm also aware that many pieces of media have had similar central conceits. The difference was that the Lego Movie was a massive pile of dumb suck, while my spoiler'd game was clever and phenomenal.

Little King's Story.
This scene from Tom Yum Goong (The Protector) reminds me of beat 'em ups: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAOFO2MKaPU
Here's the same scene with fighting game sound effects (and very low video quality, unfortunately) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmzGu26fwYs

Yes. A hundred times yes. It's the Truman show meets Bioshock.
noice!
I'll go with an easy one.
from the directors of Crank. Ya, those guys make VG movies for sure.
Edit: no game in particular.

Oh yeah, I thought of another one. This movie that Professor Layton stole its art style from.

Very much reminded me of a standard military FPS with aliens, especially the part where they actually turn it into an FPS for a few minutes.
Also certain parts of Elysium reminded me of Halo.
A game based on Castle Cagliostro would kick so much ass...
And yeah, when I watched Inception I immediately thought of COD MW2's intro stage

District 9 felt like a live action version of the end of Resistance 2 mixed with Wolfenstein.

The setting and progression of Snowpiercer kinda reminded me of Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter.

I just watched 'The Road' after reading this thread. I can see why the post-apocolyptic setting and film style makes people think of TLoU. I can also honestly say if Ellie had been anything like that kid I would've stopped playing the game almost immediately after the first cutscene with her. Hopefully the LoU movie is great.
or at least better than the road, it wasn't that good lol

Inception and Edge of Tomorrow are great examples and have the benefit of being good movies.
Inception even has "levels", disposable imaginary enemies, "classes" like "Pointman, Architect, Chemist, etc.", crazy environments, set rules, and so on. It really is a perfect example than could maybe be easily turned into a game on its own.

Madoka Magica: Rebellion Story's setting felt like the perfect world to set a Metrovania in. The girls explore Mitakihara City until they eventually discover that
I would go nuts for a developer like Vanillaware or Humble Hearts(Dust: An Elysian Tail) to make a game like this set after Rebellion with a huge-ass budget.
it's a fake, surrealist version of it
created by Kyuubey inside Homura's psyche.

I actually felt like Pete Jackson based some of his ideas, set design, and action sequences on the 2003 Hobbit video game rather than the book. Honest- laugh if you will, but there's similarities where the movie was closer to the game than the original story... maybe because both mediums have to be more action-oriented than a book, but I still believe Pete played the game and copped some ideas.
What really caught me was the stone giant scene - it was entirely wrong vs.the book (they didn't attack the party), but in the game Bilbo has to escape hurled boulders by navigating narrow ledges, and the movie played this pretty much the same way. The escape from Goblin Town, Smaug's lair, even the layout of Lake Town felt inspired as much by the game as the book.

I started to type in both of this into my post, decided to scroll up to see what else people said, and saw this. Damn you.

In Tintin, Haddock's flashback from his ancestor fighting in the pirate ship really felt like a boss battle set piece. As he has to keep igniting the gunpowder ever so often during the fight.
Total Recall (2012) reboot - felt slightly like Mass Effect to me. May have been the vehicles.
Adventures of Tintin - Has a really strong Uncharted feel to it.
There Will Be Blood - Although it's not even the same in tone or story, it did remind me at times of Red Dead Redemption.
