How many SNL skits have been turned into major motion pictures?

[MrScorpio]

I can think of five off the top

Which ones can you think of

[LeighAnn]

1. Blues Brothers

Night at the Roxy?
Stuart Smalley Saves His Family
Wayne's World
Wayne's World II
Coneheads
& the one with Tim Meadows

[tridim]

6. I think The Blues Brothers only performed as an audience warm up,

not a skit. I might be wrong about that though.

[Bat Boy]

9. No, they actually had a "musical guest" spot.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

2. OK, here we go..

Wayne's World, The Ladies Man, Coneheads, Night at the Roxbury, Molly Shannon's Sister Mary Katherine skit (Superstar)...that's all I've got.

3. You forgot about It's Pat

Worst. SNL based Movie. Ever.

[realisticphish]

18. no kidding

a semi-funny sketch, but there is NO WAY to strech that stuff into a full length movie

[TommyO]

4. Too Many! n/t

[Miami Liberal]

5. It's Pat

The androgynous woman/man

[TexasLady]

7. I dont know but thanks for reminding me

to tune in tonight. :hi:

[Todd B]

14. It's a repeat, though.

Don't worry; they are just replaying the Jude Law/Ashlee Simpson episode tonight. (At least in Boston, they are).

8. MEBS !!

I experience affection for the Coneheads. They are from . . .




France. That's right France.

[Bat Boy]

10. The contract SNL actors sign has a "kill your career" clause.

This clause states that if a screenplay based on a character you originate on the show gets a green light, you are contractually obligated to play the role in the movie.

Tim Meadows, I weep for you.

17. will ferrel survived, miraculously unscathed

though im not a big fan of his movies

[CanuckAmok]

11. First thought: "Too Many".

Seriously, the only ones I can think of that made decent movies were The Blues Brothers, and maybe...uh...

...no, just "The Blues Brothers".

[Bat Boy]

12. Waynes World didn't suck...

But that's the only other one I can think of.

Lorne Michaels is the comedy antichrist...

[realisticphish]

16. no shit

the only way SNL was good was because of genious performers (farley, hartman, shannon, etc). now they have TERRIBLE actors, and you can see how bad michals really is

13. Major? Motion Pictures? only one Major one.... The Blues Brothers

Wayne's World, is, at best minor

[Bleacher Creature]

15. Minor? It made more than 120 million dollars.

Even today that's decent. In 1992, it was far from minor.
