Top 10 TV Shows That Should Have a Movie


every TV star secretly wants to be a
movie star and every TV show secretly
wants to be a feature film honeymoon
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
TV shows that should have a movie see
you at the movie club then for this list
we’re taking a look at shows that are
tailor made and long overdue for
big-screen adaptations based on their
timeless characters broad stories and
unrelenting fan bases I already paid for
keep in mind we’ve left out shows but
technically had a theatrical movie even
if it wasn’t directly connected to the
series this is Xander and Anya interview
number one for Buffy a slayer of the
vampires as well as TV shows that are
already filming a movie we wanted to
make this movie Vincent fantastic does
it excite you yes it does very much so
number 10 angel angel we do things a
certain way in LA subsequent to the
somewhat abrupt series finale creator
Joss Whedon continued angel as a comic I
kind of want to slay the dragon
let’s go to work with no limitations
Whedon told a story grander in scale and
as creative as ever I shook it off but
then I met this guy with a towel over
his head something exploded I woke up
like this while having Angel back and
any medium is great fans would sell
their souls for a movie not just saving
lives saving souls it would be a dream
come true to see the original cast
reunited whether Whedon adapts the
comics into a live-action feature or
concoct a completely original story I
came here to be a famous movie star but
they weren’t hiring since Marvel
virtually owns Whedon for the next few
years though you shouldn’t hold your
breath come on guys this is a serious
situation I’m a puppet and there are
children’s lives at hey it’s Maya time
number nine Dexter my name is Dexter
Dexter Morgan without giving too much
away people weren’t exactly pleased with
the final season of Dexter or the series
finale for that matter I have to protect
them from me as a matter of fact you
might say that fans who followed Dexter
Morgan’s dark journey for eight whole
years were flat-out enraged
the only positive thing about the finale
is that it left the story open enough
for more Dexter a movie would be the
perfect vessel for this franchise to
achieve redemption giving America’s
favorite serial killer the ending he and
we deserve interesting but if I don’t
keep a little nasubi the end of us
number eight Adventure Time action oh my
god
movie filming time every Adventure Time
episode packs in more humor heart and
insanity over the course of 11 minutes
and most movies do in a hundred and
eleven minutes yeah I like a romantic
comedy considering the wide range of
emotions Pendleton Ward and his crew
managed to convey in so little time
imagine what they could accomplish with
an adventure time movie well we are
making a movie the possibilities are
endless whether the premise delves into
the fate of Finn’s parents dude I found
out my human dad is still alive
investigates just how evil peppermint
Butler is I’m going to take it from you
how do you see or finally reveals the
great mushroom wars origins but these
movies are before the great mushroom war
in any case adventure time the movie
would without a doubt be mathematical
you actually agree it’s an
action-adventure yep it wait no what
romantic comedy what number seven
Arrested Development
when Arrested Development faced
cancellation after three seasons creator
mitchell hurwitz exhausted every
possibility to save our Bluths we’ve
been given plenty of chances and maybe
the Bluths just aren’t worth saving
maybe we’re not that likable
after years of negotiating a movie this
quirky sitcom was finally resurrected
for a fourth season by Netflix he save
our Bluths party was starting to heat up
sure season four met with mixed reviews
with some deeming it brilliant and
others thinking it was too little too
late I think they’re both over yeah
wasn’t meant to be what however you felt
about it
you can’t deny a number of balls were
left in the air it’s like we’re
identical quick the question is whether
we want closure via another season or
the long awaited movie TV is not as
gonna be used to be hunted us we’ll take
the movie but you can help me out by
signing my petition to make it better
oh I could have liked skating with
celebrities number 6 Xena Warrior
Princess they were killed by Xena the
warrior princess before HBO drama’s
found their niche Xena Warrior Princess
was the closest TV came to the epic
storytelling typically reserved for
movies
granted some elements of the show are
pretty corny and silly by today’s
standards one unarmed woman might be
more to your tastes for example could
you imagine Game of Thrones having a
crucifixion musical duet how could I
hate how could it come to pass this
awful to stop how would I hurt him
that’s just one of the reasons why Xena
is overdue for a movie reboot
that’s grittier and visually up-to-date
but still in the spirit of what made the
original show so memorable I have to
bring you back to life no not if it
means condemning the souls of the 40,000
who pointed a grudge number 5 Curb Your
Enthusiasm my friends call me Larry a
Seinfeld movie is probably too much to
ask for Larry we already screwed up one
finale we can’t do another we didn’t
screw up a finale it’s a good finale but
it’s younger foul-mouthed brother is
right for Hollywood you look at her
breasts you’re looking at my girl first
of all they’re not breasts they’re not
breasts they’re just big chemical balls
okay Larry David is one of those people
you can put in any situation whether
he’s starring in a Broadway show taking
a trip to New York or just going out for
some Palestinian chicken and the result
is hilarious how in the world can they
dare open up a Palestinian chicken
restaurant next to the sacred land of
that deli that’s why the potential plot
of a Curb Your Enthusiasm movie really
doesn’t matter it could consist of Larry
and Jeff talking about nothing for 90
minutes and we’d still pay the price of
admission any think about that if by
some chance she’s gonna get over our
anti-semitism odds are now we may not
with you really just my gut feeling
number four Deadwood no law at all in
Deadwood despite critical acclaim and
Emmy wins Deadwood was cancelled after
only three seasons I was gentle as I was
able and that’s the last we speak of a
journey
the reason the budget was too high and
the ratings were too low and for faith
is one thing but until the money has
actually passed hands you know between
us the Dale isn’t done since then
there’s been talk about a shortened
fourth season or a two-hour movie but
Deadwood has sadly remained
well dead where how many dead making a
movie wouldn’t be the easiest task
anyway since the cast has moved on to
other projects every fucking one of them
but if creator David Milch can get the
band back together
HBO owes him a blank check so we can
finally give us some cocksucking closure
my mother dropped me the fuck off there
was 7060 some odds consents on a way to
sucking cock in georgia number 3 Luthor
hello I’m John Luther a movie centred on
dedicated and legendary detective Chief
Inspector John Luther
just seems inevitable these guys on her
phone how could they not make one
somewhere down the line every episode
already sets an extremely cinematic tone
with first-rate production values strong
performances and haunting visuals
because there was Adrian and there was
no Gabriel and of course there was Emma
I don’t ever have my own hands with a
built-in film presence and Idris Elba’s
movie career officially taking off a
Luther movie would work magnificently as
both a continuation of the show and a
standalone picture for those unfamiliar
with the BBC series number 2 community
I’ve seen enough movies to know that
popping the back of a raft makes it go
faster anybody who cherishes community
is familiar with the phrase six seasons
and a movie shows gonna last three weeks
six seasons and a movie after this
throwaway line was spouted by series
favorite Abed in one Episode fans have
been hell-bent to see his prophecy
become reality what do we do now
well we could do what we always do storm
out in a huff and say that the group is
breaking up six seasons and a movie has
evolved into a beacon of hope not to
mention a hashtag for community fans the
Cape still might find a second life on
cable and I’ll tell you why El Corazon
del agua as for that that water is a lie
Harrison
artists radiating or testicles with
microwave satellite transmissions
even if season six has been downgraded
to an exclusive internet release we just
might see Dan Harmon bring Greendale to
a theater near you
Greendale may have dulled your killer
instinct but trust me it’s still in you
the same cannot be said about the Cape
however it was canceled not here they
retooled it for cable and it’s awesome
before we give our top pick the
Hollywood treatment here are a few
honorable mentions if my words did glow
with the corner of sunshine
I want you to join me in the Planeteers
and saving our planet see I understand I
understand welcome back to Jericho Jake
you might just Omiya thank you yeah well
I owe a lot number one Friends star in a
movie it’s truly incredible that even
decades after the show was on the air
people are still pleading with the NBC
gods for more friends that’s not the end
given the eternal passion that burns for
the sitcom even today a 30 minute TV
Reunion simply wouldn’t be enough to
satisfy fans we’ll be putting this up in
a big hotel suite oh no not really it’s
an independent film you know so we don’t
have a real big budget I figured I’d
just stay in your room besides we’d need
a whole movie to catch up on Monica and
Chandler’s adventures in Parenthood this
was your first home Phoebe’s marriage to
Mike Joey’s failed attempt to make it on
his own in California
all right movie has been officially
canceled and of course Ross and Rachel’s
on-again off-again relationship cuz this
is where I want to be okay no more but I
don’t want to mess this up again me
neither
okay we are we’re done being stupid okay
you and me all right this is it this is
it unless we’re on a break
do you agree with our list choices never
doing this happy which shows do you want
