Journeyman

I liked this show too - one of the most overlooked & underrated shows of the 2000's

[–] exithereplease (3553) 5 years ago

I agree, great show.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Burn Notice would have made a great film.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

The original Charlie's Angels. Could have been a good couple of telemovies as well as the series at least.

Same with the A Team.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

But both Charlie's Angels the A Team were already turned into movies.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I know, I guess I wasn't sure if the OP meant the series being turned in films at the time of the original series (or instead of) with the original cast etc.

I think a Charlie's Angels film at the time of the original series with cast would have been awesome, same with the A Team.

I really liked old Charlie's Angels TV show. They ruined it with films

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I think Drew's were ok but still way off the original premise. Whenever they remake an old film or show it never really works because they make it with a contemporary mind set whereas what made the show so special was the mindset of it's original era.

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

You're right about Drew. To be honest, I only saw both films because of her but the whole atmosphere was different. It wasn't mine.

The Love Boat - but mix in Poseidon Adventure, Titanic and Captain Phillips problems

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

wow! Great idea but it would be hard to make

Walker, Texas Ranger

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

Oh, my lovely Walker from my lovely childhood. They're rebooting the series but why not on big screen?

[–] Master (1494) 5 years ago

season 1 of Lexx was four movies

Quantum Leap

Hard Time on Planet Earth

Bottom

The Real Ghostbusters an animated movie series

Jim Henson's Storyteller

Night Court

Jonny Quest

Metalocalypse

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

Friends was never funny. It was just mildly amusing. It worked as a tv series because we watch it while doing things at home, etc. But no way I'm gonna spend 2 hours at the theater to be mildly amused.

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

I was talking about Big Screen movies. Those Made-for-TV Lexx films don't count

[–] Master (1494) 5 years ago

yeah I know they would ruin Lexx with Milla Jovovich or someone

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

Hey, Milla is a very cool actress. I like her entertaining films

[–] Master (1494) 5 years ago

so... the Fifth Element?

[–] IrinaOma (648) 5 years ago

The Fifth Element is one of the greatest Sci-Fi films ever though
