Movies that would've made better TV shows
Inspired by Buffy which really isn't anything like the movie. Shallow Hal happened to be on FX not too long ago and I was thinking how much better of a TV show it would've made than a movie. Not a straight on sitcom but more of an "Ed" or "Boston Legal" type show where its really comedic to have this somewhat shallow guy dating beautiful women but its more about him trying to find the right woman and dealing with their imperfections. I would throw out the ability to see into someone's inner soul part though.

Knocked Up.
It was a great movie, but the secondary characters would be so much more vivid and get more screen time on a show. Plus that 9 month period went by awfully quickly in the movie.

If they ever re-adapted Harry Potter for TV (1 book = 1 season), it would be the highest rated show this side of MASH.

really Judge Dredd I have yet to have finished that movie and it been more than a decade since it was released. If you want a Stallon vehical that may have made an entertaining show Tango & Cash I could see as a show.

As much as I enjoy watching it, there were times in Gangs of New York when I wished Scorsese had cut out some of the DiCaprio-Diaz love story and replaced it instead with the inner workings of 1800's New York as well as more details on the various gangs roaming around the city, as those were my favorite parts of the movie. It could really stand to expanded into a miniseries.

Titanic would be a decent television series but It might be a little to slow moving. I think it is good as a film. I mean I don’t want to be spending 5 episodes watching the damn boat sink.
All of Martin Scorsese’s films would make excellent TV series because all of his films in my opinion are just plain out brilliant. There is no better creator of films than Mr. Scorsese.
I think The Departed would have made a good HBO/Showtime series & Taxi Driver, which is possibly my all-time favorite film, would make a great television series. Casino would just be awesome as a TV show.
