Between Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and a Clue remake in the works, it’s clear that Hollywood producers think board games deserve movie adaptions. Even despite the atrocity that was the Battleship movie, they keep going back to the well for more board-game movies. So why not choose the best ones? Because it’s also clear they need some better material. Here are our suggestions of the best board games that deserve to be turned into blockbuster movies.
Life
“Life: The Movie” would follow a delightfully average all-American family on their #Blessed journey through life’s most ordinary accomplishments. Until one day when they take a wrong turn in their perfectly normal car and stumble upon THE SPINNER. Realizing that their lives are not the self determined wonderfest they always assumed them to be, the family embarks on an adventure (sans car) to escape from the world crafted for them by omniscient gods who think of them only as playthings. Oscar bait, no question.
