The list is from classics from the 1980s to more modern ones. Here is the list. Enjoy.

1. Airplane!

This is a really good classic movie and it is also my favourite movie . It is about an ex fighter pilot who has to take over and also has to land the plane safely when the crew have food poison. This film is a must watch. The actors and actresses are good and it has the prettiest woman you will ever see (Julie Hagerty). It is a good comedy film and it is a must see for anyone.

2. 9 to 5

This is another classic that is both funny and enjoyable to watch. Three female office secretaries, try to get revenge on their cruel and unfair boss by kidnapping him and try to take over their business. The three main actresses are fantastic playing the trio especially Dolly Parton. Grace and Frankie fans will enjoy this film. It is one of the best films I have ever seen.

3. Tootsie

The award winning comedy starring Dustin Hoffman. An unemployed New York actor disguises himself as a woman after getting a part in a soap opera but it soon lands him into a lot of trouble. With an all-star cast and filled with really funny jokes, Tootise is a fantastic film for anyone.

4. Bridesmaids

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. A single woman is asked to be her best friend’s maid of honour, however there is soon a rivalry between the maid of honour and one of the Bridesmaids during the process. If you haven’t seen it, then you are missing out on all of the fun stuff. Bridesmaids is a fun film for anyone and I love watching this film.

5. The Simpsons Movie

I love The Simpsons and if you are a Simpsons fan then this will be the film for you. Homer needs to save everyone in Springfield and the whole world from a catastrophe he has created. This film is funny and it is also enjoyable.

6. What about Bob?

Bill Murray is really good playing the role of a special friend in this film. It is about a psychiatrist (Richard Dreyfuss) who soon gets mad when one of his patients (Bill Murray) finds him while on vacation with his family. It is an amusing film to watch and I myself watched it a few times and I really enjoyed it.

7. Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion

This movie is so good. Two friends (Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow) tell their peers how popular they have become after 10 of their high school graduation although it isn’t true and it soon gets out of control. I really love watching this film and it is very funny.

8. Ace Ventura Pet Detective

If you are a fan of Jim Carrey or you love him in other films (like me), then this will be the film that you will enjoy. When a dolphin mascot of an American football team is kidnapped, it is up to a secret detective (Jim Carrey) to solve the case and find the dolphin (as well as some of the players of the Miami NFL team). Courteney is all right in this film (but she is not as good as she was on Friends). Despite it may be old fashioned, it is still an enjoyable comedy film.

9. Instant Family

Although it is quite emotional at times, Instant Family is a funny true life story. It is a couple who adopt three children but they soon get over their heads and it is a bit harder look after them than what they have thought. This is one of my favourite films and it is good fun for anyone (not just adults but for kids as well).

10. Ladybird

This film has some drama in it but it is another funny movie and it has won some awards. A nurse (Laurie Metcalf) works energetically to keep her family afloat when her husband becomes unemployed. Her teenage daughter is the same as her, she is caring, strong willed and is really opinionated. It has a good supporting cast. I was impressed with Laurie Metcalf. It is a movie that teens and mothers will enjoy. I really love this film and it is a well-deserved winner.

Which TV shows should be made as a film? https://whichfilm.com/which-tv-shows-should-be-made-as-a-film/ Sun, 17 Feb 2019 10:46:11 +0000 http://whichfilm.com/?p=3270 TV shows such as Mrs Brown’s Boys, The Simpsons, Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Horrid Henry, The Inbetweeners, Mr Bean, Scooby- Doo, SpongeBob Squarepants and Pokémon have at least been turned into movie versions and shows such as Miraculous Ladybug will be turned in a movie in the future. But here is a list of films that haven’t turned into a film (or haven’t planned it yet) but it is 2019, it might change over time. There is something on the list for everyone. Here is the list:

Friends

It is hard to believe that the world’s favourite sitcom hasn’t been turned into a film. However I think there should be a film of them being reunited and also seeing what they have been up to. Hopefully it will be made into a film and if it does hopefully it will be as good as the successful TV show.

The Amazing World of Gumball

Who said that you are too old for cartoons? This is a really funny cartoon and I heard that it won several awards. It is about a young cat who always lands himself into trouble. He has a friend who is a fish who has legs, his younger sister who is bright, his mother is the worker in the family and a father who watches TV and sleeps. I think if it has been turned into a film it will be a good film for the whole family and it also has good actors/actresses in it as well such as Teresa Gallagher.

Keeping up Appearances

This is another funny sitcom back in the 1990’s but unfortunately that hasn’t been turned into a movie. However there are few cast members who are dead such as Richard’s actor who has recently passed away. This might be the reason that it was not made as a movie however the show is good.

Sam and Cat

I love this show but there are no more episodes and it got cancelled but I think if it was still running I think there might be a chance that it will be turned into a movie. Sam was played by Jennette Curdy (seen on I Carly and Cat was played by Ariana Grande.) However I still enjoy watching this show.

Sacredly squirrel

I don’t know why this show has so many negative reviews. It is now cancelled but I found this show funny. However, I don’t think many people will love it. Probably the reason why no more episodes are on and definitely no sign of it being made into a film but I think I would have enjoyed it.

Superstore

This is another funny sitcom. Normally in store workers are functional but in this one all of the workers are dysfunctional. I think if it was turned into a movie I think it would be a comedy. This show has mainly positive reviews so I think it is likely that it will have a movie version but let’s see what happens but I love watching this show.

We Bare Bears

It is another cartoon mainly for kids but I think there might be a chance that it would be easily made as a film. It has positive reviews so far, (that’s a good start) . I think this should be made as a film as it is funny and it is about 3 bears who attempt to find their place in developed society such as making human friends. This is another show that I enjoy watching.

Friday Night Dinner

This is another award winning sitcom. It is about 2 brothers who belong to a Jewish family who return home each week to have free meals. They either play pranks on each other. However, their father collects science magazines and their mother is obsessed with a cooking show. Their neighbour always appears during their meal. I think it had a film version it will be up there with the Inbetweeners. This is another show that I love watching.

Arthur

The stories in this show are actually quite good. There are mainly 2 different stories in this show (it is a little different than other TV shows when there is just 1 story.) If it has a movie version of the show, then it could be 1 whole story. It will also be turned from one of the books it has made but I don’t think it will happen but it is a good show (mainly for younger views but adults might enjoy it as well.)

These movies are from classics to more recent ones. Some are comedies, some are scary, some are musical and some are animation.

1. Inside Out
Do you ever wonder what is inside your head? This movie is about 5 emotions Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust who control 11-year-old Riley’s head who is mainly happy but thing don’t go too well as she moves to San Francisco. However, when Sadness and Joy are accidently transported into long term memory the only emotions left are Anger, Fear and Disgust. Filled with imagination and comedy, this is a must-see.

2. Paddington
It is adapted from Michael Bond’s beloved book. A polite Peruvian bear searches for a home in London after an earthquake destroys his home. He soon meets the Browns who offer him a place to stay. However, there is a taxidermist Millicent Clyde who plans to stuff him. Paddington is also a must-see and it is an enjoyable film that the whole family will enjoy.

3. Frozen
The award winning animation from the Disney team. A fearless princess joins forces with a mountaineer to find her sister and break the icy spell she has created. An amazing animation and filled with fantastic songs this movie is enjoyable and brilliant and it is a good film for the whole family.

4. The Greatest Showman
This is a popular musical. This movie is inspired by the life of P.T. Barnum and celebrating the birth of show business. Packed with toe tapping music this film is a good film for the whole family and it will make you watch it again and again as it is so brilliant.

5. Mary Poppins
This is a classical musical from 1964. 2 children are faced with the prospect of a new nanny and they are surprised of the arrival of Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) and they soon start on a series of adventures with Mary and her boyfriend Bert (Dick Van Dyke). This movie has good memorable music and it will please both kids and adults. It will also be Supercalifragileilisticexpildocious.

6. My Little Pony Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks
It is a kid’s show and it is the best movie of the series. The Rainbooms battle their rivals in a school competition. Including the favourite villains you’ll ever see (The Dazzlings) this film is funny.

7. Despicable Me
This is movie is funny and it is a good family film. A super villain has to decide on whether to steal the moon (for which he has planned) or look after 3 orphaned girls. Including the funniest yellow creatures you will ever see (The Minions) this film is enjoyable for both kids and adults.

8. The Secret Life of Pets
This movie shows what pets do when their owners are not in the house. A terrier dog enjoys a comfortable life in New York until his owner adopts a giant and unruly canine. However during their walk they both get caught by animal control. So a white Pomeranian decides she is going to the terrier dog. Filled with hilarious moments this movie is a good family film.

9. Diary of a Wimpy Kid
This is the movie adaptation of the Jeff Kinney’s books. Middle school is not a fun experience for a preteen. He soon discovers the ups and downs of middle school such e.g. having difficulties of finding a seat during lunch. So he states his aims of becoming the popular kid in school. This is a funny film and it is a great family film.

10. Coraline
This movie is both scary and exciting. An 11 year old girl is exploring in her new house and discovers a secret door and realises that it is a better world e.g. her parent have time to play with her. But all is not as it seems when her parallel family want to keep her forever. Despite it is scary at times it is an enjoyable family film.

She is in films such as Romy and Michele’s high school reunion, Dr. Doolittle 2, P.S. I love you, Hotel for dogs, Easy A, Neighbours and Neighbours 2: Sorority rising. You also need to watch one of her films as she is funny in those movies.

She is also good on movies such as The Mask, There’s something about Mary, Charlie’s Angels, The Sweetest thing, In Her Shoes, The Other Woman and Annie (2014).

6. Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey is funny. The films he is in are Ace Ventura Pet Detective, The Mask, The Truman Show, Bruce Almighty and Mr Popper’s Penguins. He is a good actor and I suggest you see one of the movies he is in.

7. Dee Bradley Baker

He mainly plays vocalisations on animal voices. I think he is very good on some of the characters he plays especially when it is an animal voice. He is not in many movies but he is in movies such as The SpongeBob Squarepants movie and the sequel to the SpongeBob movie and he plays the voices of Fish, Wheels and Bucket in the Boxtrolls movie.

Although I don’t watch any, she is in Australian films as well as British and American. She is an Australian actress but she is in American movies and British movies as well as Australian movies. She was noted as a comedic actress when she was in Get Him To The Greek and Bridesmaids and then became successful from the movies X-Men First class, Neighbours, Spy and X-men: Apocalypse.

10. Julie Hagerty

Although not that many people enjoy her, I think she is really funny. Elaine Dickinson (played by her) is one of my favourite characters on Airplane!. However I think her best performance is playing Dulcy Ford on A Midsummer Night’s sex comedy. Her film roles also include What about Bob and A Guy Thing. She is one of the prettiest actresses. In my opinion you should see her on Airplane 1 and 2 , A Midsummer’s night sex comedy, What about Bob and maybe watch her in other good movies she is in. Overall I think she is a good actress.
