Movies based on TV shows...

With the Arrested Development movie (hopefully) coming within the next couple of years, I was wondering about the quality of TV show based movies... do they often live up to the original series?

I thought that Simpsons Movie, The was very comparable in quality to the series. Any others?

fredrikhl Answered 4 months ago		Serenity, based on the Firefly TV show Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me Mission: Impossible, and the two sequels. The sequels are bad though. X-Files: Fight the Future, The and X-Files: I Want to Believe, The are alright. Also, I believe Blues Brothers, The was an old TV series. Futurama: Bender's Big Score and the three other Futurama movies are a par with the cartoons. I think there's also two or three MacGyver movies in existence. MacGyver: Lost Treasure of Atlantis is one of them. They're pretty similar to the series -- haven't seen those in a long time though. Sex and the City is supposed to be good, if you're into that sort of thing...
