What about "The Muppets" and "The Muppets Most Wanted"? Both of those movies were both funny and truthful to "The Muppet Show" parents grew up with in the 70's and 80's. When they were released in this decade, some fans bursted in tears.
I'm sorry, I'm a trekkie too, but J.J. Abrams can't direct a movie to save a life. He destroyed Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And he is destroying all of the Star Trek movies.
The Fugitive is such a great movie. It deserves the #1 spot since not only it did the TV show justice, but still having it's own feel. I'm surprised they didn't put up The A-Team movie in the list. I heard many people liked it.
My main complaint (and I think this hurt the movie) is that it became an origin story, rather than model it like a weekly episode of the TV series (A-Team are hired by someone to stop some bad guys, A-Team build stuff to blow up the heavies etc, usually Face gets the girl who hired them etc).
I'm sorry but turning Starsky and Hutch and 21 Jump Street into comedies does not do justice to two great tv shows that tackled current issues of its time.
Whats wild is The Fugitive is based on a true story. There was a Doctor (different name) who was wrongly accused for his wifes murder and you know all the rest.
I..........I.........I can't believe it. I can't argue with this list..........did WatchMojo.com actually make a solid list............i'm scared..............
21 Jump Street, The Addams Family, Mission: Impossible, Get Smart & Charlie's Angels made my days. Even thought I didnt see the TV series of them , I like the movies better.
joey4track Sorry for my errors. What I meant to say is that even thought I never watched the TV series, or at least I remember them just a little, I prefer the movie version of the TV series better.
Star Trek and Jump Street are both part of their original series. Star Trek is set in an AU, with Nimoy playing the same Spock that he played in the original and its follow up movies and shows. The Jump Street movies are continuations with Johnny Depp, Holly Robinson, and Peter DeLuise reprising their characters in 21 Jump Street and Richard Grieco and Dustin Nguyen doing the same in 22 Jump Street even if they were just cameos. So yeah.
Hey you guys forgot the A-Team WatchMojo.com It wasn't a continuation of the show at all and was actually not that bad either. It should have at least been an honorable mention.
And, for some reason, reverse the roles of the two main characters -_- What's the point of that? The writer wanted to be unique, I get that, but just reversing the roles is not unique, it's lazy, confusing and gives a serious blow to the fandom.
technically 21 Jump Street was a continuation, as the two cameo appearances both said they used to be Jump Street, and they used to play two of the main characters
I agree. I'm glad it made the list, because it's a pretty forgettable movie, unfortunately. But I used to watch the old TV series all the time as a kid, and I always thought that Maverick was one of the best TV adaptations ever put on film. I'm glad that others feel the same way.
speaking of mission impossible, my middle school gym class had a game called that, the entire gym floor was considered lava and there were these dot things made of rubber, scooters, and mats so fucking fun
Vic Morrow's death during the making of The Twilight Zone was a horrific tragedy for which John Landis was never held responsible. I love Landis's work on movies like The Blues Brothers, but even he admitted that the deaths of Morrow and those two children were due to his habit of cutting corners and ignoring regulations. For more information see the Wikipedia article.

I don't think it counts because he's playing the future version of Spock who's played by somebody else. Or they just broke the rule, they do that all the time.
Dude, the 2009 Star Trek IS a continuation of the original. Or, rather, a spin-off. It has THE ORIGINAL SPOCK! I mean, damn! Talk about not following your own mantra.
Its my fave on the list and my fave movie but yes, its not just a 'reboot', its origin is set like 30 years after Nemesis. Was kinda hoping it would make the list though it doesn't fit.
It's a reboot in the most literal sense possible. The movie's premise actually involves traveling through time and changing details in the original series to make a new story.
Tim H Not really, no. Nero and Spock Prime were "sucked" into an alternate timeline, that was further changed by Nero's 9/11-esque attack on Kirk's birthday. The original timeline still exists, but is not the focus of JJ's Trek-verse.
zer0dahero First, its prequEl. Prequel. Second, it is not a prequel - its a parallel universe whose similar-to-Prime-Universe was drastically altered by Nero's incursion during Kirk's birth. Both Nero and Spock come from the Prime Universe, several years after Nemesis, the tenth Star Trek film. Ergo, its a continuation, only semi at that.
How could The Brady Bunch NOT make the list? It (along with the Addams Family) is the definition of doing re-makes right. Starsky & Hutch was a piece of crap btw.
Hooray for a mention of I Spy! I Spy was one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Robert Culp and Bill Cosby were amazing and because of Robert's tutelage Bill Cosby went on to earn 3 consecutive Emmy awards for his performance as super spy Alexander Scott. You definitely need to cover I Spy in more lists, maybe one about TV shows that influenced Civil Rights in the 60s. I Spy would definitely make that top 5 on that list.
One of the few WatchMojo lists I entirely agree with. Jump Street is my personal favorite, but in terms of overall quality, you hit it right on the nose.
Is funny how people are hating on 21 Jump Street, yet half of them haven't seen the actual show and the other half don't get the concept of the movie. So there
+DreamyEyedLover that's just your nostalgia taking. Keep an open mind and don't let past experiences ruin your opinion on Remakes I might add you. They tried to make it enjoyable for new movie goers and the people how seen the show , and hey it worked really well
shawn babcock* it has nothing to do with nostalgia its the film makers habit of taking well loved tv shows (guaranteed audience) and making what are not in actual In fact a remakes as everything that made them loved by original fans has gone replaced by cheep Laughs & slapstick instead of action ,making them them a parody of the originals , there for they should not be on the list to start with.....
I think because (note i'm not a star trek fan) the old movies used the original cast and the modern ones use a whole new cast. In the beginning they said they weren't listing films with the original cast (only if it's for a cameo or playing a completely different role)
B0bStapl3 No it doesnt. The producers weren't aiming to please you, they were aiming to please the masses. The masses never saw Star Trek the show, this is something you people seem to forget. They were brilliant honestly, they pulled it off with a good looking cast to bring in children and new adults to watch it and thus, were succesful.
The Star Trek fan base is one of the biggest fan bases around, with most of the masses at some point being a Star Trek fan. And how can you make a Star Trek film and not aim it at the Star Trek fans. I agree they were trying to gain new fans as well, but it's core fan base was still meant to be Star Trek fans. That is one of the reasons Siomon Pegg was brought onto the film as he is a Star Trek fan unlike J.J

I think Charlie's Angels deserve a reboot. And they should do this: -The director must be Patty Jenkins, Sofia Coppola, Christopher Nolan or Martin Scorsese -The film should have an R rating and a more serious, deep and realistic tone (but keeping it's comedic side) -Every character should be deep -The 3 angels should be portrayed by 3 of these gals: Jennifer Aniston, Oona Chaplin, Zoe Saldana, Megan Fox, Ayako Fujitani, Drena De Niro, Jennifer Lopez, Mila Kunis, Natalie Portman, Brie Larson, Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johanson, Anne Hathaway and Hillary Swank -Charlie's agency should be mix and have lots of agents besides of the 3 angels -Charlie should be voiced by Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman or Harrison Ford -The main villain should be deep, interesting and must represent a threat to the 3 angels -The composer should be James Newton Howard
My Favourites 10. Star Trek 9. The Dukes of Hazzard 8. Dark Shadows 7. The A-Team 6. Get Smart 5. Maverick 4. Fugitive 3. Mission Impossible 2. 21 Jump Street 1. Starsky & Hutch
I'm sorry, but Starsky & Hutch and 21 Jump Street should *not* be on this list, the movies were a far cry from the actual TV Shows, both were Crime/Dramas on TV but turned into comedies when they were made into movies, though Starsky & Hutch is more screwball as 21 JS is nothing more than juvenile college humor. Still, not good adaptations.
21 Jump Street was one of my favorite TV shows when it was on. The movie was a horrible comedy attempt using the 21 Jump Street name. The TV show deserved much better than that.
Oh, and, for the record, three original castmates made cameos. Peter DeLois was in the shootout scene, next to Depp. Holly Robinson-Peete turned out to be the requisition officer in the garage.
How can you say the rest are ok , I Hate the Trend Of Taking old Police/Detective shows & remaking them as comedys, starsky & hutch , 21 jump street are to examples of this that appear on the list along with charlies angels , but you can also count dragnet and now chips. If you are going to remake a tv show at least keep it in the same style it was , which is what made it loved by fans originaly. If your out to make a comedy try making something original..
Wait, wait... I see some similarities between 'The Fugitive' and 'Double Jeopardy'. In The Fugitive: -A man's wife is killed -The man is convicted of killing his wife -He escapes custody (after a train crashes into a bus) and searches for the real killer -He is being pursued by a law enforcer, played by Tomee Lee Jones In Double Jeopardy: -A woman's husband fakes his death -The woman is convicted of killing her husband -She escapes custody (after a car falls off a ferry) and searches for her husband -She is being pursued by a law enforcer, played by Tomee Lee Jones
There's similarities between many movies, t.v shows, songs and most forms of entertainment. Like Batman and Arrow. Both start from a rich guy losing a parent which then starts them on a path to learn how to become superheroes. Both are absent for a period of time while they train and when they return they put on masks, dress up like weirdos and become vigilantes using nothing but gadgets and the fighting skills they learned in a far off land. Both are hunted by criminals and police, criminals which include Bane, Deathstroke and Deadshot.
hydrolito I know my point was you can draw similarities between most things, that was just an example. I mean I could have said Hawkeye is similar to Arrow too or Twighlight took all the action out of Underworld or Get Smart is a 007 parody etc, etc. Most things now are similar to something but that doesn't mean you can't like them, well Twighlight is probably the exception that proves the rule.
Surprised to see Star Trek on here as, althought it is a re-imagined reboot, the plot makes it a continuation of the original series and films, as evidenced by the Leonard Nimoy Spock. It is the same Spock that served with Shatner's Kirk, time travelled to the past where history was changed to become this alternate version.
Actually, "Treklies" was considered to avid fans as a negative term rather than a positive one. "Trekkers" was more acceptable. Personally, I didn't care what they called me. I was a fan, although not of the new movies.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_fandom#Trekkie_vs._Trekker
I think Trekkies are defined as fans that love all of the Star Trek related films/tv shows, where as Trekkers are more rational, based on the research I've done. So actually... I guess I'm a Trekker. (Love the new stuff, Generations, and The Original Series, but DS9 and Nemesis were kinda garbage.)
21 Jump Street should clearly be in the "10 Worst movies based on a TV series" video. The main characters are different, and It was turned into a slap stick college comedy whereas the original series was a drama and dealt with issues.
I saw a recent interview (youtube) with the actor who played Capt. Fuller in the series and he said the new movie(s) are basically like an unrelated comedy movie simply using the name 21 Jump Street.
Star Trek is a continuation. And it has former cast members in the same role. TWO things you said weren't to be on the list. I don't have a problem with it's place, it was a great movie, but if you're going to set rules stick to them. ... *thirty seconds later* Mission Impossible is also a continu- oh forget it
It's a continuation because it's still the same plot, and same story, only continued. Events from the past are still remembered even after being changed.
pretty sure they accidentally put Star Trek on this list and not on the "top 10 worst movie adaptations of old tv series" list that it should have been on.
Starsky and Hutch was a surprisingly funny and underrated film; and, just like wedding crashers, has a movie stealing cameo by Will Farrell. Btw Adams Family deserves a higher spot, Star Trek deserves an honorable mention.
