Ok, so this was one of them. A 1982 movie called "Mazes and Monsters", starring Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks?? Yeah, that's what I thought too.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084314/The back of the case reads: "Bound by a desire to play the fantasy game "Mazes and Monsters" Robbie and his three college classmates decide to move the board game into the local legendary cavern. But when the game gets out of hand, Robbie begins to have visions and the line between fantasy and reality fuse into a harrowing adventure!"
I talked J.T. into it by saying we should buy it, MST3K it, and then mail it out to Brenna and her husband so they can do the same.
I'm going to review as I watch and post to my LJ. You can read it here.
