Well since you have included some manga in this list... I might suggest actually putting those in a separate list since there's so many that's there's enough to warrant their own list. But that's just me.

Manga off the top of my head:
Dororo, by Osamu Tezuka
Lovely Complex, by Aya Nakahara
Lady Snowblood, by Kazuo Koike and Kazuo Kamimura
Oldboy by Garon Tsuchiya and Nobuaki Minegishi

This might help a bit

Oh and if you are including internet comics there's The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green...

And uh... *tries hard to think of non anime one*
Flash Gordon?

There is already a Akira movie. Here are some others: Battle Royale, nana, death note

Thanks for the awesome suggestions, insektmute. I've added many of them :)

For my own sake I'm not including animated or foreign language films, only English language live action ones. Considering how many manga movies are made in Japan alone, this list would've been far too monstrous for me to handle otherwise.

Awesome list and don't forget Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Description

A list of comics that have either been made into or inspired English language live action movies. I've linked to the IMDb page simply because so many of them are in production.

Leave a comment if there's any I've missed.
