List of Saturday Night Live feature films

The American sketch comedy television series Saturday Night Live, which debuted on NBC in 1975, has been the genesis of eleven feature-length films, based on some of the more popular sketches and characters that have achieved varying levels of success. The first cinematic foray came with the successful Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi vehicle, The Blues Brothers, which earned over $115 million on a $27 million budget.
In 1990, Lorne Michaels oversaw the writing of a sketch anthology feature film titled The Saturday Night Live Movie with many of the show's then-current writing staff—including Al Franken, Tom Davis, Greg Daniels, Jim Downey, Conan O'Brien, Robert Smigel, and George Meyer—contributing. The screenplay only got as far as a Revised First Draft dated July 26, 1990 before being abandoned.
The success of Wayne's World encouraged Michaels to produce more film spin-offs, based on several popular sketch characters. Michaels revived 1970s characters for Coneheads, followed by It's Pat, Stuart Saves His Family, A Night at the Roxbury, Superstar, and The Ladies Man.
Most of these were box office and critical failures, notably It's Pat, which did so poorly commercially that Touchstone Pictures pulled it only one week after release. Characters from The Muppet Movie and Office Space appeared on SNL before the films, but had already appeared on other television shows before SNL.
