30 movies we want to see turned into Netflix shows

Is Fun Size on Netflix?
Fun Size is No. 28 on the list!
If the Adam Sandler comedy film Hubie Halloween taught us anything, it’s that we’re honestly in dire need of more Halloween options. Each year we turn to horror movies, Hocus Pocus, and the odd Halloween television special. But what about an entire television series centered around the beloved spooky October holiday? We’re onto something here, and you know it.
Netflix would probably be more open to turning Hubie Halloween into a show (or, more likely, a film series), but the underrated 2012 teen comedy Fun Size deserves a second shot at becoming an annual must-watch. The film comes from director Josh Schwartz, creator of The O.C. and Gossip Girl, and stars Victoria Justice as an ambitious high school senior trying to wrangle her mischievous little brother on a wild Halloween adventure.
Fun Size wasn’t a hit, even though it’s one of the most charming teen comedies in recent memory. Being produced by Nickelodeon Films, Fun Size suffered from a mixed appeal between kids and teens. But since Nickelodeon has been having a resurgence on Netflix, now could be the perfect time to reboot the should-be seasonal staple as a show, not unlike the Dash & Lily of Halloween.
