From video games to cinema
No TV series, no TV movies, no short movies in this list.
I'll put only movies adapted by original video games.
For exemple, Dungeons and Dragons have been adapted in video games and then in movies, but originally, it's a table role playing game.
Another exemple, The Ninja Turtles have been video games and then movies, but originally, it's a comic book.
So, Dungeons are adaptation of a table RPG and TMNT are adaptations from comics.
In the very end of the list, I'll put some movies not FROM but totally ABOUT video games, or even happening entirely inside a video game.
