I feel like streaming shows for the past 10 or so years has diminished my enjoyment of watching movies.

There's something about being accustomed to watching 10 hours of plot and character development that makes a 2 hour movie feel super rushed and less satisfying than if it were a series.

I would have liked to have seen movies like Back to the Future, The Truman Show, or The Matrix as a series.

I guess a common concept in these is that there is a different world or a different time that can be more fully explored through a series to enrich the overall storytelling and enjoyment.

No no and no

My answer is movies that have been based on book series. The Dark Tower comes to mind.

Gonna kind of cheat but I would’ve loved a series of Max Cherry bail bonds from Jackie Brown with the late Robert Forster

Napoleon would have been much better as a series.

Master and Commander is always the correct answer.

The 13th Warrior... Would be expensive
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins... There's a lot of material to work with
Alien Nation...They made a network show but it was just a regular cop drama it needs a cable adaptation.

Shooter...Yes there is a series but had they used the Vietnam Era timeline from the books, I think it could be so much greater.

I’d like to see Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn books series brought to life.

Master and Commander (of course)
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (Ritchey version)
Wish the Universal mister universe had continued.
