What would you do as a plot? The pilot episode with the start of the war would surely be interesting, but the wait+party time of the next 8 years would probably not make for a good plot. Except if you'd want to make a party movie, but that would probably go against the spirit of the GBLA.

There's certainly been successful films made around much less. Hell, Castaway is basically 3 hours of Tom Hanks talking to a coconut and it grossed over $400 million.

Opening scenes - war, realising they were stuck. Then the drama of eight years of hanging about and drinking - there must have been romances, conflicts, gossip, smuggling, fights among the crew. And what's the story of the one female member? Plenty to make a great film out of I bet. And if not someone could always 'base' it on 'real life events'.
