    Predator (could do it from perspective of Predators, humans, or the aliens that are haunted by Yautja--all of the above)

    Return of the Living Dead (A funny Zombie TV show, where the protagonists are trying to get rid of the Troxin, as well as preventing a zombie outbreak)

    Robocop (I know they've had several TV shows and cartoons with the character, but now more in the vein of the first two movies. Where they don't feel like they have to make it for kids.

    Wicked City

    I think Mad Max, Sicario and Boogie Nights are all good choices.

    But back to Fargo, I'd probably watch a couple different TV series set in Joel and Ethan Cohen based worlds. Raising Arizona. Barton Fink. The Hudsucker Proxy. The Big Lebowski. No Country for Old Men. True Grit. Inside Llewyn Davis.

    Saving Private Ryan

    John Carter of Mars

    Vampire Chronicles done as up as a cross between Rome and Deadwood from HBO. That book series is a great platform to spawn several different shows from.

    I would probably even watch a CW series based on these books.:eek::confused:

    The first half of Boogie Nights. The second half is a bummer.

    Pirates of the Caribbean - instead of a reboot, just have various pirate adventures that refer to the ones from the movies, maybe some appearances.

    Standing up, Falling down - Ben Schwartz and Billy Crystal starred in this great real-to-life drama with some solid comedy mixed in. I'd love it to be a series where we follow the main guy's career, ups and downs in life, some flash backs.

    Palm Springs - this was a gem (Amazon prime) with the lovely Christin Milioti (final season of How I met your Mother), Andy Samberg (Brooklyn 99) and JK Simmons where they're all stuck in a time loop and relive the same day. It ends interesting enough for it to turn into a series where you can go into the intricacies of the day and its consequences.

    Snyder verse movies would probably be better as a 6-8 part series. Watchmen is a good candidate

    Or it could still drag because the dude tries to cram 12-14 episodes worth of random crap into it...

    He would definitely do that. He's delusional.

    I love all of these.

    You know what old Jack Burton says at a time like this?

    When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the bar room wall, and he looks you crooked-like in the eyes and he asks you if you've paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in his one working eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that:

    "Have you paid your dues, Jack?"

    "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
