The best to worst '80s-themed video game movies

Pixels is coming out this weekend, and already it's not looking too good for the Adam Sandler nostalgia vehicle. But it can't all be bad news for '80s-themed video game movies, right? Well, other than Wreck-It Ralph and Tron, arcade game movies don't have the most favorable history. In fact a lot of them are bad. Like really bad.

But, if you're curious for some of these so-bad-they're-good movies, we've compiled a list, in case you want to see how Pixels measures up to the likes of Super Mario Bros.

We haven't seen most of these because, let's be honest, we're kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel here. So here's a ranking of the best to worst arcade video game movies based on Rotten Tomatoes scores.

1. Wreck-It Ralph (2012) -- 86%

This would have made the top of our list even without the Rotten Tomatoes criteria. Wreck-It Ralph is a funny, heartwarming and subversive movie that honors the '80s arcade games its based on without being obnoxiously self-referential about it. The cast is significantly star-studded -- John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch all star -- but they never overwhelm the simply gorgeous story it tells from the perspective of video game characters.

2. Tron (1982) -- 70%

Technically it's not based on a game, but the arcade game created after the movie was actually more successful than the film itself. But yes, this is the original video game-based movie, kicking off a slew of good to bad game adaptations and hacker movies. Jeff Bridges essentially carried this movie through sheer force of will, despite not actually being the title character (we know, it's confusing). Oh, and the light cycle racing is pretty cool too.

3. Tron Legacy (2010) -- 51%

The best part of this movie was probably the new and improved light cycle racing. And Michael Sheen doing his best David Bowie impression. Other than that, de-aged Jeff Bridges is a bit creepy-looking, and no matter how hard you try, Hollywood, you still can't make Garrett Hedlund a star.

4.  Mortal Kombat (1995) -- 33%

*Sings the Mortal Kombat theme song.*

5. The Super Mario Bros. (1990) -- 16%

The presence of Bob Hoskins doesn't make this movie look any better, but is baffling at best. This looks like it's set in the seedy world of Howard the Duck where human women try to seduce life-sized ducks. And why is King Koopa a blonde man with really bad hair gel? We're really not sure what's going on here, but it doesn't look like it has anything to do with plumbing. Or jumping. We were

!

6. Street Fighter (1994) -- 12%

Ming-Na Wen is in this?? The villain is a guy who dresses like the Red Skull and yells things like "Game over"? And Jean-Claude Van Damme is there? We kind of want to watch this now...

7. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li (2009) -- 6%

Kristin Kreuk, you're so pretty but this movie looks so bad. Also, why are you wearing all black? If you're going to play a video game character at least look like you're having fun.

8. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) -- 3%

*Sings the Mortal Kombat theme song again but cries a little.*
