Mortal Kombat will always have a special place in my heart. They distilled the videogamey part of the story down to the bare essentials and got it out of the way quickly, and then just focused on strange dudes beating up other dudes in cool locales. Plus it featured Christopher Lambert in probably his best role

The Resident Evil movies also had a few scenes that were taken basically 1:1 from the game. Come to think of it, I actually kind of enjoy those movies. They're a complete trainwreck, but it's a trainwreck that the director just kept on polishing until it's the shiniest and most entertaining trainwreck around.

The Tomb Raider games are no longer about "OMG LOOK HOW HUGE HER POLYGON TITS ARE" and I wonder if they'll integrate the Trinity storyline from the last one or just go in a totally new direction. I saw one of the Angelina Jolie ones on a flight once and don't remember much about it. Yeah, the Angelina Jolie ones were extremely forgettable. The new ones could be decent, though, particularly if they go for an Indiana Jones-style deal that plays up the supernatural aspects and weird locales.

I still wonder how they'd decided that loving Dungeon Siege of all games needed an adaption. That was just a decent but ultimately completely forgettable Diablo-clone. I don't think there was anything to the story besides "big bad army invades, plucky player character kills them all".
