Typically, it seems to work the other way, with the movie coming about as a result of a successful video game, however there have been a few exceptions. Namely, Disney/Pixar seems to release a video game of each of it's hit movies and makes the releases nearly identical so as to maximize the profitability of both ventures. Here are a list of my top 10 video games that were based on movies.
1) Star Wars Video Games
2) Pirates of the Carribean
3) The Incredibles
4) Back to the Future
5) Toy Story
6) The Little Mermaid
7) Terminator
8) Transformers (the original)
9) RoboCop
10) Harry Potter
And just for kicks, here's a list of the top 10 video games that inspired movies to be created from them!
1) Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
2) Doom
3) Mortal Kombat
4) Resident Evil: Apocalypse
5) Hitman
6) DOA: Dead or Alive
7) Resident Evil: Extinction
8) Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
9) Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
10) Pokemon: The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back
