Movies are a staple of American culture.   Videogames are another staple.   And yes, movies that feature videogames constitute ultra-special moments for those who are fans of both.

What are some of the top movies that have utilized videogames as part of their story lines?  Nick Smith of pwnordie.com has taken away much of the guesswork by compiling video-gaming excerpts from National Lampoon’s Vacation, Back to the Future II, Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin and many other popular movies.  If you follow this link to Nick’s site, you’ll experience the escape, the competition and, yes the dysfunction that Hollywood associates with our intense use of videogames.
