What Drama Movie should be made into a sitcom?

[Taverner]

I suggest "Alive"

You know, the cannibal flick

The laughs could be non stop in that one!

[Dr. Strange]

1. Silence of the Lambs

[Taverner]

3. I see a variety hour there "Hannibal the Cannibals Dine and Dance Show"

[Dr. Strange]

5. Guest-starring Erik Estrada.

[Taverner]

11. And Rip Torn! Soupy Sales! And a special appearance by Paris Hilton

[azmouse]

9. Perfect Dinner Theatre material

[AlCzervik]

2. House of sand and fog.

[PVnRT]

4. Inchon

What?

[Inchworm]

6. You rang?

:D

[Fire Walk With Me]

7. Barton Fink.

[gmoney]

22. That could actually work...

"Barton Fink's Playhouse" -- each week (or each season) revolves around a new BF play opening...

Look, you're confused. You need guidance? Talk to another writer.

Who?

Oh, Jesus. You throw a rock in here, you'll hit one. Do me a favor, Fink... Throw it hard.

[Swede]

8. I'm tired of eating Mexican.

:shrug:

[BeachBaby]

10. "Saw"

For the obvious reasons. Oh, the possibilities. :P

[BarenakedLady]

13. Good one.

:thumbsup:

Maybe "Hostel" as well.

[gmoney]

20. I thought Saw was already a TV series...

seems there's a new one every week

[geardaddy]

12. "Blue Velvet"

The possibilities are endless.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Just imagine all of Frank's wacky adventures.

It would have to take place before the events of the movie, of course.

[geardaddy]

23. I can imagine his theme song...

ending with a annoying chorus of "Thaaat's Frank!"

[edbermac]

21. I thought that WAS a comedy!

[geardaddy]

26. Indeed.

"Heineken?! Fuck that fuck! PABST BLUE RIBBON!"

[azmouse]

14. Alien

Watch the crew party down with the monster from outer space.

[MineralMan]

15. To Kill a Mockingbird?

Every week a zany look at racism. It'd be a knee-slapper, for sure.

[swimboy]

16. Long Day's Journey into Night

Lots of humor angles to exploit in that one.

[Bake]

17. An oldie: Brian's Song.

Nothing gets laughs like terminal cancer.

Bake

[semillama]

18. Terms of Endearment. Laugh riot in the making! n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. John Carpenter's The Thing.

Every week, it would just be one camera looking into the abyss of Antarctic cold and icy hate as the remains of the station slowly and hopelessly disappear under the constant blanketing of snow, with the icy dead wind the only soundtrack.

[Mollis]

25. Quarantine.

They can call it "Zombie Apartment."

[geardaddy]

27. Eraserhead.

'nuff said.

[Burma Jones]

28. Casablanca

See Rick and Captain Renault take on the Germans in a series of Wacky Adventures not entirely unlike Hogans Heroes. Maybe Ilsa can come back and help out........

[geardaddy]

29. Citizen Kane...

and his All-Girl Orchestra Variety Show.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

30. "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"

Just add in a wacky neighbor and maybe a precocious grandkid left in their care.

[Fire Walk With Me]

31. Carrie.

Hard to imagine that a senior prom could happen each and every week, but they DO!

[jobycom]

32. The Matrix. Or does that count, since it sort of became a sitcom by the end?

[S n o w b a l l]

33. The Hills Have Eyes

[martymar64]

34. One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

What wacky high jinks will McMurphy and Chief get into this week? Will they foil Nurse Ratchet?
Tune in and find out!

[EastTennesseeDem]

35. No Country for Old Men

I could just picture Llewelyn and Carla Jean becoming the stereotypical sitcom couple. Anton could be a sort of sadistic version of Kramer.

[AwakeAtLast]

36. Schindler's list

but Seinfeld started to ya know! :D
