Off the top of my head, I can think of: M*A*S*H* WEIRD SCIENCE 9 TO 5 FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (I think?) FRIDAY THE 13TH AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON Wasn't HAPPY DAYS an adaptation of AMERICAN GRAFFITI? I'm thinking about films that (I assume) were intended for the long term. Are you interested in things like miniseries adaptations? The recent miniseries of THE SHINING was really well done (in my humble opinion) -- better than the feature film, anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff Strasburg Office: FDH 662 University of Nevada, Las Vegas Phone:(702) 895-4341 Dept. of English -- Box 455011 Fax:(702) 895-4801 4505 S.
