Is “Clue” really the only feature film based on a board game?

We have lots of games based on video games and more than a few games based on movies. But as i was honoring Mr. Tim Curry’s life’s work, i was watching “Clue” and it occurred to me that i can’t think of another movie based on a board game. Am i overlooking something? Or is “Clue” really a standalone example of this niche?

Didn't Battleship also get a semi tied in movie?

Not that I saw it, I just remember hearing about it.

Clue however was a really fun movie and my boyfriend and I watch it often enough or fall asleep to it at bedtime (my boyfriend is one of those that needs background noise to sleep).

I totally forgot about that one even though i saw it!

As far as I know yes it's the only one

Another movie oddity has to be Convoy which is a film based on the C. W. McCall song of the same name

I would watch a movie about the Edmund Fitzgerald. Of course that’s an actual event, but most people know it best because of Gordon Lightfoot’s song.

I'm going to look for this, I think of Edmund Fitzgerald as the title character in Cracker played by Robbie Coltrane

Battleship got one. High budget summer blockbuster. Its so stupid but I love it.

No.

• "Battleship" is a movie that was inspired by the board game.
• Any movie related to chess.

No. There was a movie that came out in 1983 called Krull (it had a younger Liam Neeson in it). They made a board game of that movie as well. I saw the movie and i owned the board game.

Thing is that is a board game of a movie... Clue was a movie of a board game

@jamesgoldman oh, i see what you're saying.
