Saturday Night Live (SNL) Movies, Ranked Worst to Best
by TARDIS_Tech_Support | created - 19 Oct 2020 | updated - 13 Dec 2022 | PublicA list of films based on Saturday Night Live sketches and appearances. Updated to include a couple properties I didn't know were SNL-connected: Mr. Saturday Night, A Mighty Wind, Mr. Bill, and Office Space (via the cartoon short). Some of these connections are slight, since the same level of connection could also apply to The Muppets since they appeared in the 1st season of SNL, but it's just a fun list for my amusement.
