The original Star Wars trilogy for me. It'd be even better if it were in the style of anime at that time. Even though I wasn't alive then, I miss the 80s. I'd love to see Mara Jade, too. I do personally think the sequels are not worthy of such treatment.

I think a Kill Bill anime would be amazing.

@Kinspie13 Yeah, I think 70's/90's were the best decades for movies/TV series.

@Serafos It really was! I love 80s movies!

@Clovis I second this.

If not same story. I want to see O-Ren story separately. Tarentino did her backstory in animated form anyway.

John Wick. I can really see this work as an anime. Could use the first film or all of them.

Dead Poets society. Doesn't have to be action. And there isn't enough drama with a male focus in anime.

The Princess Bride might work in a Ghibli style

I've not seen Amelie but it's synopsis sounds like it would translate well into anime

Edge of Tomorrow, the fact that it got turned into a live action movie and not an anime is sorta funny to me

Japanese movies like Eureka and Love Exposure could be great drama anime.

Suffice it to say that for a Harrison Ford movie, I'd support “Witness”.
If I could have seen the scenery of the Amish community in detailed artwork.

The TV drama, “The Prisoner”
I found that I love peculiar villages.

“Groundhog Day”
“Chungking Express”
“The Elephant Man”
“The Tin Drum”
“Stalker”(Tarkovsky)
“The Legend of Suram Fortress”(Parajanov)

And “The Big Bang Theory”, the sitcom.
I haven't viewed the whole series through. Gimmie footnotes.

I would also love to go for star wars especially after knowing how Visions looked like. I would be interested in action history inspired movies which I liked a lot to see as anime like Gladiator 1, Alexander from 2004, King Arthur from 2004, Kingdom of Heaven, Private Ryan, Troy etc.
Battle of Kerrak scene with full on animation it would be a great experience.

I think almost every possible live-action series has already been converted into an anime. Correct me if I am wrong?

I'd like to see Star Wars get remade as well but this time it should be from the point of view of the imperials and the sith/dark side of the force instead.
