Webmaster Notes: The labels A-List and B-List of movies and television titles refer to the amount of auto-combat content, not the relative quality of the works. Titles given the A-List designation are entirely about auto-combat. Titles given the B-List label have only a few auto-combat sequences but most of those scenes are worth watching.
Many of the titles below are not about auto-combat. They are listed because they can be easily adapted for auto-combat gaming.
