The best video game movie is eXistenZ and you know it.

I really enjoyed this, I'm going to have to agree with you. I can't really think of many movies that I would consider "videogame movies" though.

I sorta always considered eXistenZ more of a "virtual reality" movie moreso than a videogame movie, in which case, it gets killed by something like The Matrix.
 
Oh god I'm going to check this out again just for the fuck of it. I need to waste this rainy day away :lol
 
The movies is funny, but how ridiculous is the ending?
When he sees that JP stole his game, he has no proof to backup that the game is really his??

You're telling me all his source code and models and other assets were saved on one single DVD? He doesn't have any backup whatsoever of any of the art or programming? What if he lost that single DVD, or the thing got damaged somehow? You would have to be the biggest idiot on Earth to not at least make a copy of the disk. I know the movie needed a big climax by having Grandma beat JP at the game, but man what a ridiculous way to end it.

I still like it though.
 
As other have said I think Grandma's Boy is far more of a stoner flick that happens to incorporate video games into the plot. Not to say it's an awful movie or anything, it does have funny parts. As a video game movie it's not so great.

The Last Starfighter, The Wizard (my fav), King of Kong, Wargames....Any of these is a better video game movie than Grandmas's Boy.
 
We had a grandmas boy thread a while back and it ended with a bunch of people not finding the movie funny whatsoever. I don't understand how anyone could not find some parts of this movie funny.... their sense of humor has got to be in the shitter.

And Linda Cardellini is ridiculously cute.

Movie is worth it for this alone









As for the the question posed by the OP ... the correct answer is

WarGames

How it hasn't been mentioned yet boggles the mind.

This movie is terrible the first time you see it. But it gets better with each viewing.
I've heard the same about prison rape. Have yet to concur.

I had the exact same reaction to the ending as you. For a film that gets a lot of things right about the industry, that was a catastrophic fail. Still one of my favorite movies though, easily top 10 for good cheap fun.
