re: is Addams Family the GOAT movie based on a tv show?

The movies are still pretty good but not that true to the show.

I agree, they are good shows. I just wish if Hollywood decide to remake a tv show into a movie, they at least make an effort to stay true to the tv show.

MI didn't bother me that it wasn't exactly like the tv show (probably because I never watched the old tv show). But 21 Jump Street bothered me a little bit because they totally changed the whole aspect of the TV show (and I can still remember watch the tv show as a kid). They could've called it anything else and it would've probably been as successful of of a movie.

Don't mean to hijack, but I always wondered why they didn't make a 6 Million Dollar Man movie? Of course it would be a higher dollar value in today's world. But I always thought an easy TV show to turn movie was 6MSM! It would be perfect in today's cinamatic atmosphere!

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is my favorite movie based on a TV show. But I also like the Fugitive and Wayne's World.

Wrath of Khan should win. It's based off of one episode.

Shut up

Naked Gun

The Lineup (1958)



A very late noir (based on a now forgotten, Dragnet-ish TV series) directed by Don Siegel (Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, Dirty Harry) and featuring a great performance by Eli Wallach as a vicious drug dealer. Also has a memorable climax on the San Francisco Interstate (then under construction).

I've never seen an episode of the show, but The Fugitive

The TV show is my all time favorite series. I've been threatening for years to start a thread about it. And I may do it too, if you people don't start acting nicer. Just a friendly warning.

Fugitive?

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.
