Pulp Fiction (1994)
Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield obviously have a long back story which could possibly be explored. And there's certainly not a lack of other colorful characters to explore further either. -
Schindler's List (1993)
Each episode could follow the life of one of the 'Schindler Jews' in particular, both before, during and after the war. -
Fight Club (1999)
The first (and second) rule of Fight Club is; you do not talk about Fight Club. Most members seem to disregard those rules and do it anyway, and I'm sure there are many interesting stories that could be told from the club and the 'side projects'. -
Forrest Gump (1994)
Forrest led an eventful life with episodes that can surely be woven out further than the few minutes they got in the movie. -

Surely there are many more Lester Burnhams with interesting stories to follow? -

In the same spirit as the movies, each episode follows a different woman in a difficult spot. -
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Let's imagine Belle was trapped for several years before actually resolving the matter; a lot of stories must have taken place in the mean time. -
