10 Computer Applications that Should Be Movies

Sure computer games like World of Warcraft, Spore, and Homeworld should be made into movies more than these guys but the programs here get even less attention in Hollywood than their brethren. Would these actually make good movies? Probably not. Would it be fun to see them made into movies? Most definitely. And so here are the ten.

1) Quicktime

This app bears the brunt of allowing you to listen to music and getting songs on your music library. Who knows if something could be made out of this, possibly a movie where a diabolical madman takes over the world through some kind of audio spell.

2) Mozilla Firefox/Internet Explorer

Sorry Google Chrome, but these are the bigger dogs. Suppose they made a movie about these two web browsers competing? Anyway, they lend a valuable hand to your online searching needs and should definitely be recognized.

3) Word Processor

Whatever your taste, the top would be currently reigning Microsoft Word. However, there's always room for Wordperfect to come back from the dead for a cameo in the movie.

4) Adobe

Ah, Adobe, where would desktop publishing be without thee? No matter what, Adobe has a chance at becoming something decent outside of the computer world. Probably not a movie though, but hey.

5) Spyware

Yes, the movie where the virus-killing application has to hunt the virus all over the computer before it attack the hard drive. With some extreme imaginations this anti-virus app could make a dent in the movie industry.

6) Powerpoint

Microsoft has saved the day in terms of presentation software with Powerpoint. So why not have Powerpoint save the day in a movie?

7) Simulation Software

Whatever it may be, military simulation software or flight simulation, this stuff is downright cool. But what would be even cooler in a movie is if that software went off-kilter and rogue.

8) Computer Games App

Yes. The classic games such as solitaire, minesweeper, hearts, and even chess. This would be a fun movie based on games that could be all over the place and still enjoyable.

9) XScreensaver

Everyone enjoys screensavers and has their own screensaver that they love to display. But what if someday a screensaver suddenly began displaying images of deathly acts to come? Or it could be a comedy, it depends how one looks at it.

10) Paint

An entire movie about some kid messing around with shapes and figures and paint. Priceless and fun for the whole family.
