- StarsJohn ErwinAlan OppenheimerLinda GaryThe most powerful man in the universe, He-Man, goes against the evil forces of Skeletor to save the planet Eternia and to protect the secrets of Castle Grayskull.In order for this to work as a movie:
1. It needs to have the look/feel of the cartoon.
2. The story needs to stay on Eternia!!!

Vivica Fox as Willona
Anthony Anderson as Bookman!!! - CreatorSidney SheldonStarsBarbara EdenLarry HagmanBill DailyA United States astronaut finds his life vastly complicated when he stumbles on to a bottle containing a female genie.I can see Reese Witherspoon, or Katherine Heigl as Jeannie.

- CreatorRick HuskyStarsWilliam ShatnerHeather LocklearAdrian ZmedThe weekly adventures of tough-as-nails veteran police officer Sgt. T.J. Hooker, who rides the beat with his rookie partner Vince Romano.Again, I leave this one up to the commentators!!!
- CreatorJames D. ParriottStarsDean Paul MartinKevin Peter HallMark Thomas MillerThe adventures of a team of misfit superheroes who fight crime for a scientific think tank.I think a new version (new people/new powers) could work!!!
- CreatorSteve GerberStarsHenry CordenRobert RidgelyNellie BellflowerThundarr the Barbarian and his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel wander a devastated future Earth and fight evil wherever they find it.I can see Dalip Singh (aka The Great Khali) as Ookla The Mok!!!
- CreatorLee David ZlotoffStarsRichard Dean AndersonDana ElcarBruce McGillThe adventures of a secret Agent armed with almost infinite scientific resourcefulness.I leave that one up to the commentators!!!
- CreatorChristopher CroweGlen A. LarsonStarsGreg EviganEric ServerLinda McCulloughA trucker and his pet chimpanzee travel the highways of America, getting into various adventures and misadventures along the way.I'm ashamed to admit I remember this show!!!
- CreatorMarty KrofftSid KrofftStarsJack WildBillie HayesLennie WeinribThe adventures of a boy trapped in a fantastic land with a dragon friend and a witch enemy.Hey, "Land Of The Lost" became a movie!!!
- CreatorMarty KrofftSid KrofftSi RoseStarsJohnny WhitakerScott C. KoldenBilly BartyTwo boys try to maintain normal lives while secretly having adventures with families of sea monsters and genies.I can only imagine who would direct it.
- CreatorAlan SpencerStarsDavid RascheAnne-Marie MartinHarrison PageThe adventures of a deranged and dumb police detective who always looks for the most violent solution to any problem.This could work as an action/comedy!!!
- CreatorStephen J. CannellStarsRobert BlakeTom EwellEdward GroverThe cases of maverick undercover New York City detective Tony Baretta (Robert Blake).The only reason I believe this won't be made into a movie is because of the stigmatism that surrounds the original series star: Robert Blake!!!
- CreatorJoe RubyKen SpearsStarsDeidre HallJudy StrangisNorman AldenThe adventures of two female superheroes.This was made into a TV movie, which starred Markie Post, but was never aired on TV!!! Would a big-screen version of the show work?? More than likely-NO!!! But, we're talking about Hollywood!!! So who knows!!!

- CreatorJames D. ParriottStarsJon-Erik HexumMeeno PeluceDavid CadienteA member of a league of time travelers and a boy travel through time repairing errors in world history.This would make a great movie. Think "Indiana Jones" meets "Night at the Museum"!!!
- StarsGeorge DiCenzoEvan C. KimDee TimberlakeA trio of teenage superheroes, representing three different racial groups, use their powers to fight against evil forces.Again, I leave this up to the commentators!!
- StarsBob OgleHal SmithRonnie SchellA group of cute talking animals wear colorful shirts which display messages reflecting each character's thoughts. The animals fight crime and tease the park ranger, Mr. Dinkle.If you don't remember this cartoon, it was an 80's cartoon that came on NBC!!
- StarsBryan ScottGabriela NelsonRobbie RistA teen rock band is abducted to a cartoon fantasy world where music is the key to defeating their enemies and finding their way home.Another classic 80's cartoon!! This would take a lot of CGI, and animatronic work!!
- CreatorFrank LupoStarsFred DryerStepfanie KramerCharles HallahanRick Hunter is a renegade cop who bends the rules and takes justice into his own hands. Partnered with the equally stunning and rebellious Sgt. McCall, he sets out to crack down on L.A.'s slimiest criminals.This show starred Fred Dryer as a "Dirty Harry"-esque LA homicide detective. As far as who could play Hunter, and McCall, I'll leave that up to the commentators.
Although, I think Hunter would be good for John Cena. It would be the perfect departure to his WWE persona!!! - StarsBob McFaddenLarry KenneyEarl HammondA team of humanoid cats fight evil in their adopted home world.If anyone ever makes this into a movie, it has to be done right!!!
- CreatorEiji TsuburayaStarsSusumu KurobeSandayû DokumamushiMasaya NiheiA human member of a defense force is given the life and ability to change into a giant super-hero to battle the monsters that wreaks havoc on Earth.As many times as we've seen Godzilla, and King Kong on the big screen, this would make a great movie!!!
