The crowdsourced Veronica Mars movie is looking like a sure thing, but there are so many contenders more deserving of the big-screen treatment.
"Party Down"
Veronica Mars showrunner Rob Thomas had another brilliant-but-canceled series with Party Down. While the former might have a louder fanbase, Party Down was a solid show from start to finish, with a fantastic cast and character interaction that could really benefit from further exploration.

"Terriers"
Rarely has a series been able to find such a perfect blend of gritty and charming. Much credit goes to Terriers leads Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James. The FX show was beloved by critics but largely ignored by audiences. A more explicit big-screen adaptation could bring fresh eyes to a great team-up.

"Carnivale"
HBO's bizarre series crammed a lot of weird into two seasons. The show never reached full potential, perhaps because its creator had far bigger plans than two seasons could contain. While a movie likely wouldn't be able to tie up all loose ends, it could at least answer some of our burning questions. Please?

"Dirty Sexy Money"
Laugh it up, but if you didn't watch Dirty Sexy Money, you missed out on one of TV's sharpest guilty pleasures. Although the show may have faltered a bit in the second season, the characters were always strong. Just imagine the trouble the Darling family could get into without network constraints.
