15. Gypsy

Gypsy revolves around the life of Jean Holloway, a therapist who is crossing many boundaries with her patients in increasingly dangerous ways. Although Naomi Watts' performance was very convincing, the slow unraveling of Jean's descent into obsession would have been much more extreme in a movie. A movie would have fixed her psychology in sharp focus and allowed for a heightened play on the consequences of her actions. The suspense could have increased at a quicker pace, and perhaps the psychological tension could have led to an exciting finale.
