From MASH, to Buffy, to Friday Night Lights, to Fargo, the best TV often comes from the movies. In honor of the recent news that Richard Linklater’s School of Rock will become the latest movie to become a TV show, here are ten other films that we think could benefit from more expansive treatment on the small screen.

10. The Kids Are Alright

This 2010 movie about a lesbian couple whose relationship gets more complicated when their kids’ biological father comes into their lives was just about perfect. Even so, the dramatic potential of the premise, and of the amazing characters, is definitely enough to fuel an entire TV series. With two great female characters at its center, a The Kids Are Alright TV series could scratch the same itch for family drama that NBC’s Parenthood currently caters to.

9. Winter’s Bone

Winter’s Bone was the movie that first introduced us to Jennifer Lawrence—and a TV series based on it would be, let’s be honest, pretty damn bleak. But it would still be great. There’s definitely more story and world to plumb for a series in the history and culture of the strange, criminal, matriarchal family at the movie’s center. We envision this as a Sundance series or miniseries in the same vein as Top of the Lake, which explored crime, violence, and family in a similarly insular community.

8. Dazed and Confused

It’s 20 years ago that Dazed and Confused was released, but the film remains as funny and approachable as ever. It’s easy to see the set-up for a possible transition to television: incoming freshmen are out of their depth, treated poorly by bullies, etc etc. But a show would allow for the possibility of wider world of Texas, the US, and the world of the 1970s to infiltrate the intimacy of the film. Then just follow along as the freshmen become the seniors. As long as it’s as smartly written as the original Richard Linklater film, it’d be golden.

Or, we could bring back Freaks & Geeks.

7. The Craft

How the CW or ABC Family hasn’t adapted The Craft yet is beyond me. It’s basically Gossip Girl or Pretty Little Liars—plus witchcraft! There’s not much to say about it because it’s so obvious. High school + magic = awesome.

6. Snowpiercer

If I made a show from Snowpiercer, I would not reboot, but tell the stories around the movie. How did humanity get to the current ice age? Who developed the geo-engineering scheme that failed so catastrophically? How did Wilford manage to get his train built? His tracks laid? How did he become a god?

Those questions just scratch the surface of what happens before the film, and there is also that little question of what happens after it. Snowpiercer is based on one half of one volume of a French graphic novel (Transperceneige), which means there is plenty of source material waiting to set up our television show about the post-Snowpiercer world. That might be a bleak show, but bleak TV is the rage now anyway, right?

5. Minority Report

One of the things that gives a movie the potential for TV treatment is whether the premise could be applied over multiple episodes and multiple stories. Minority Report’s Future Crimes division qualifies. A Minority Report TV show could basically be a sci-fi procedural, with weekly crimes solved by the future crimes division—or multi-episode arcs.

4. Kill Bill

This one’s a no-brainer since it was essentially based off a (fictional) TV concept anyway: Fox Force 5, the Mia Wallace-starring TV show in Pulp Fiction. Of course, in that movie, Fox Force 5 was a pilot that didn’t get picked up, which isn’t encouraging—but I’d bet that in the real world, Quentin Tarantino’s name plus the prospect of a gang of female assassins who kill their marks with samurai swords would do pretty well. The show could tell their story before everything went wrong in the Kill Bill movies.

3. Harry Potter

Adapting a television show from Harry Potter might seem a waste. We already got eight wonderful movies to tell this story. What more do we need? Aren’t we just being greedy by asking for more?

Probably. But there’s so much to experience in Rowling’s wizarding world, and so many questions about wizard life that go unanswered, that the possibility for television is endless. Basically every show ever could be readjusted to exist in the wizard world, adding a new take on an old yarn. Just one example: Head of the Class, at Hogwarts, taught by an adult Ginny Weasley. You would watch that.

2. Blade Runner

This is yet another Philip K. Dick concept (along with Minority Report), but really, how awesome would a Blade Runner TV show be? A series would naturally revolve around the character of Deckard and his efforts to track replicants—but it could also delve into the struggles between humans and replicants, and the manipulations of Dr. Eldon Tyrell and his mysterious Tyrell corporation. Plus, the replicants’ similarity to humans and false memories could lead to a lot of BSG-like twists as different characters are revealed to be replicants without their knowing it.

1. Inception

Inception is a movie whose premise seems to cry out for a TV series. A gang of professionals who can crack into people’s dreams and steal their secrets—and yet we only get to see them pull off one job? It’s hardly fair. I left Inception wishing that I could have seen Dom and the gang pull off dozens of dream heists. Luckily, it’s implied in the movie that they’ve been doing this work for a while. Plus, there’s tons of backstory for a potential TV series to explore along the way: Dom and Mal’s exploration of the dream world, for instance, and the dissolution of Mal’s sanity. As great as the movie is, Inception presents a premise that seems to cry out for more expansive treatment than what a movie could give it.
