There’s no late-night activity that Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer liked better than catching a movie at their local theater. While they occasionally stood in line for actual classics like Weekend at Bernie’s II, they also frequented several flicks that only exist in the Seinfeld universe.

Here are seven movies we’d love to see, even though chances are good they’re already sold out...

7 Means to An End

This is the movie Elaine and her date Todd Gack are dying to see. When it’s sold out, they’re forced to settle for Blame It on the Rain, presumably the story of Milli Vanilli. Fortunately for Jerry, his girlfriend Nicki uses her good looks to score tickets even after Elaine is turned away.

6 Sack Lunch

Castle Rock

Once again, Elaine is thwarted by a sold-out showing. Instead of laughing through light comedy Sack Lunch, she’s forced to endure The English Patient.

Attorney-turned-selling novelist Scott Turow made the cover of Time magazine the summer of 1990 describing him as the “Bard of the Litigious Age.” And 34 years later, the 75-year-old still is. Over the past four decades, Turow has written 13 works of fiction which have been translated into 40 languages and have sold more than 30 million copies. Several have been transformed into miniseries and TV movies.

In fact, Hollywood filmmakers were salivating in 1987 for the rights to Turow’s first novel, “Presumed Innocent,” a clever, sexy murder mystery with twists and turns that would baffle even Columbo, about a prosecutor accused of murdering the attractive colleague with whom he had been romantically involved “It began a sort of Hollywood frenzy,” Turow told me in a 1992 L.A. Times interview. “It was one weekend’s madness.” And for good reason, the novel spent 44 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list and another five months on the paperback charts.
