Why Movies Should be Musicals

So...they made a long and crappy drawn out musical version of Gone With the Wind , although I wonder whether it was just a perfect opportunity for clever critics to use the line, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn about this musical..."

And that's not even to mention bloody Edward Scissorhands - The Musical (the movie was stupid enough, and not worthy of Johnny Depp's good looks...)

Anyways, it inspired me to go further afield and consider other cinematic greats that should make it to Broadway, please feel free to add your own classics...

Once Were Warriors - The Musical - ("Get me some eggs, WOMAN...Some eggs, some eggs...ohhh get him some eggs..)

Requiem for a Dream - The Chorus Line - ("So, my mom's on the crack, and I dig the smack...")

Bad Boy Bubby Does Broadway - ("Ode to Cling Wrap")

High School Musical On Ice - (and I aint talkin about the ice skating version...)

So, compardres, any other suggestions??
