    Roman Taxi

    Rome, to hear it told, was a pretty busy place, what with being the center of western civilization and all. People had loci to go, populus to see, and res to do. That’s where the players of Roman Taxi come in. They’re not the movers and shakers, they’re the ones who get the upper crust to wherever they need to be to do their moving and shaking. They’re Roman chariot taxi drivers.

    The Best 45 Minute Movies Ever Made: Star Wars Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace

    Movies for Gamers Who Like Movies: Mazes & Monsters

    I distinctly remember this movie from when it came out because it meshed so nicely with the anti D&D right-wing fundamentalism movement of the time.

    Descent

    You start out as a single party, each player using his own character to comb through the old mansion in search of equipment and clues that will help you beat the haunted home in which you find yourselves trapped. Somewhere along the way, though, the evil that dwells here is going to reach a critical mass, and when it does it will pervert one of the hunters.
