** Ditto ''[[Sucker Punch]]''.
* ''[[Indiana Jones]]'': most iconically [[Indy Escape]] and [[Rollercoaster Mine]].
* The 2008 film of ''[[Journey to Thethe Center of Thethe Earth]]''.
* ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'': Moria is full of [[Malevolent Architecture]] and narrow, dangerous paths; the protagonists seem to be able to run for days straight (like videogame characters); all architecture is heavily influenced by the [[Rule of Cool|School Of Cool]] - even some of the characters seem to view what happens to them as sort of a game (Legolas and Gimli). And Sauron is definitely a [[Load-Bearing Boss]].
* Some [[Pixar]] movies' climaxes are reminiscent of videogames, for example ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' and ''[[Toy Story 2]]''.
