What movies or movie anthology would kill it as a tv series?

I was thinking The Matrix would be a pretty badass tv series.

Well since it was a terrible movie, I think Eragon could make a good tv series

The Punisher would be the perfect vehicle for an ongoing series. Forget the Netflix approach to having only one storyline spread out over a dozen episodes. Too boring. Each episode would be the Punisher hunting down another group of random criminals and killing them. No overarching villain....just a new batch of bad guys each episode.

How would that work? Other aliens see the tv show and show up?

A better one than the movie I'd say, which I realize is a bold statement.

Season 1 loosely follows the concept of the film, and season 2 might be my favorite ever single season of tv. Overally it's fantastic.

The Rewatchables podcast has this as one of their bits: "Could this be made into a 10 episode Netflix series/min-series?" From some of the movies they have done a podcast on:

The Talented Mr Ripley

Inglorious Basterds

Point Break

Blue Chips

Escape from New York

Total Recall

America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

if there is any movie that should have been made into an HBO or Netflix show, it is Stephen King's IT. I know a lot of people liked the movies, but you can count me solidly among the "did not like" crowd. the book is a sprawling epic spread over centuries, if you include the interlude portions with the history of Derry. it is an absolutely phenomenal book that gets in your head. it could easily have been made into a series, maybe even two or three seasons. I think of a show like the first (and third, somewhat) season of True Detective - how dark and atmospheric it is...you can almost feel the town of Erath as a character in the story. Man, if they had done IT like that, it would have been SO much better.

Idiocracy would work well and would have fresh material to work with each season
