I would say super mario 3 still has the best movie, what do u guys think? i think that the speed the game allows the player to do is the key to making a good movie, games where the player can "run" have more potential to become good movies i guess. and super mario 3 has very nice engine.

For me it's the Metroid one, it shows how to skip more than half of the game by exploiting a game bug/feature as opposite to other games that use warps, if someone manages to pull off the glitches Simon's Quest is supposed to have it'll be my favorite video ever XD, also Ninja Gaiden 2, Solomon's Key and Castlevania did pretty cool videos

Rockman 2, SMB3 (Genisto), LoZ, and Batman I find are good examples of quality time attack videos. DKC, Half-life, and ALttP are well-played speedruns.

Well, I've really enjoyed watching the Super Mario Bros. 2 videos gradually get better. The Princess only run was sick! I think my favorite movie is Megaman 3 though. It's close between it and the last Castlevania movie I watched.

SMB2 + Rockman 2 are my absolute favorites, followed by the SM3 warpless video. I prefer it for the entertainment value, the shorter version is dominated by the auto-scrolling world 8 levels, which is a shame.

I enjoy the River City Ransom time attack. That with SMB2 and Metroid. Top notch stuff.

ヒットラの復活は一番大好き!^_^ (just kidding) I'm really into the Rockman videos, and I'm eagerly anticipating the new runs. EDIT: My grammar bad.

For the Japanese impaired: My #1 favorite is "Hitler no Fukkatsu".

That's just Bionic Commando isn't it? Hitler no Fukkatsu that is. The Japanese version of Bionic Commando anyway.

SMB3 and rockman 2. SMB3 was the first one I saw, and I went crazy when I saw the "gather extra lives on the bomb and cannonball" thing. It's probably the sickest stuff I've seen in a NES game. Rockman 2 is also great. Some other nice ones are Zelda, castlevania, Simon's quest, Chip and dale. The DKC 2 and Metroid speedruns are amazing too, you gotta be a god to beat those games like that. And of course the Quake done Quick runs.

Zelda, just because it's cool to see Link blitz like a whirlwind through rooms where you need to kill all enemies. But I watch the Metroid one a lot too. It's just generally fun to watch or leave running while I do work.

the rm/mm games, smb games and cv are my top favorites, but that could be due to me playing them alot when i was younger (not to talk about blastermaster)

that is why i loved the movie so much! It was like: "hmm.. nope, you not worthy, neither are you, or you.... ahh, there's something i can have fun with!" Although anothre i've neglected to mention was the 2 player Chip n' Dale run. That was amazing.

I'd have to say I like Castelvania the most because when I first downloaded an early version, I thought that that was probably the fastest time you could get. Well I understood that you could shave off 5 seconds or something. And then, BAM!, I downloaded the latest version of it and it just blew me away. :) And I also like the zelda video because I followed the whole planning here on the forum (and the discussions on IRC) and I was also amazed by the fighting in it.

I surprised noone has mentioned the Bubble Bobble video. I find that the most impressive timeattack (mostly because I'm a big BB-fan). :)

While I liked both Bubble Bobble and the Zelda run, I'd have to say it's a tossup between SMB2, River City Ransom, and Solstice. Solstice was crazy :D The Doom II run was pretty impressive as well :)

River City Ransom, Rockman 2 & Doom II. Those time attacks I liked the best. On the speedrun side, Half-Life, Quake I and the DKC-videos. All so impressive...watched each of 'em at least 2 times...

Hehe, no one has mentioned my movies either. Yet im kinda satisfied anyways, just to know that they will entertain some dudes/dudesses who has played and has similiar game-tasting like me. But my W&W movie seems to be the most downloaded after the reset ;) That feels kinda good.
