What do you feel are the best movie based games and the worst movie based games? I think the best are Goldeneye (N64), Jurassic Park (Genesis), Batman (NES), Ghostbusters (Genesis), and Spiderman 2 (Xbox). The worst for sure are Back to the Future (NES), Back to the Future 2 and 3 (NES), Alien 3 (NES), Back to the Future 3 (Genesis), and Ghostbusters (NES).

WTF I haven't played that many movie games, but I really like Super star wars (snes), Goldeneye (n64), and Spiderman (ps1)

I wouldn't say "best", but I really enjoy "Batman Returns" on SNES. It's a fun beat-em-up. One of the worst I would say (already mentioned by JT) is "Street Fighter The Movie".
