Page 1 of What are your fave films based on a television series?

As the heading really, I noticed that TCM were showing The Fugitive the other day. This is my fave film from a tv series - Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones are always watchable. The script is decent, there`s a fair amount of action, and I think it stands up to repeat viewings.

What are everyone elses faves then....

Guilty pleasures - Charlie`s Angels 1&2, The Avengers because they`re so bad!

And The Happiest Of New Years.

I watched Charlie`s Angels 2 for the first time two nights ago - WOW! it`s poor (but strangely watchable).

I would agree with The Fugitive, I enjoyed both Maverick & Lost In Space, despite the latter falling into the script\plot from the hell towards the end, it actually managed to condense the main elements from the a few of the first series (b\w) episodes (launch, sabotage, finding the derelict ship, the "spiders", crashlanding & even the alternate future).

I too enjoyed Maverick but I went in blindly to see it, not knowing what to expect. I had never seen the original tv series or the trailer so I hadn`t got a clue as to what it was about! I do remember buying the laserdisc as soon as it came out though.

The only other film I`ve gone to see blindly was Erin Brockovich and I really enjoyed that too - maybe it`s better not having seen a trailer these days.

Any Star Trek film.

South Park - Bigger, Longer and Uncut. :D The TV show and the movie are excellent.

Edit - I may have to change my opinion when Royston Vasey: The Motion Picture comes out!

Mission: Impossible. Watched it again for the first time in ages last week and absolutely loved it. Although I liked the sequel, it pales in comparison to the original.
For some reason the novelty of seeing Liverpool St Station never wears off.

Do you know how long it would have taken for just one of these protein molecules to appear entirely by chance? Roughly ten to the two hundred and forty-third power billions of years. And I find that far, far more fantastic than simply believing in God.

I thought this was going to a thread about all the 60`s comedies that automatically got features, after watching a couple of steptoes this xmas.

My fave of those is probably On the Buses. Or possibly are you being served abroad. Now thats proper comedy ;)
