I think:
1) GONE WITH THE WIND
2) CASABLANCA
3) THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC
4) ALICE ADAMS
5) WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?
It's not famous but I would say Under The Tuscan Son & Pretty Woman.
Mary Ethel and Victoria Grant, I love you.
Who do you see playing the Julia Roberts role in the musical version?
Well this is an Idea but for the Julia part I could see 3 potentials
1. Linda Eder
2. Rachel York
3. Idina
p.s love you glebb too.
Linda Eder? I like it!!!
Have you heard her CDs? Aren't they marvelous?
yes they are very moving, I'm hoping she comes out with a new x-mas cd.
She can even take a song written for a man ("Standing On The Corner" from THE MOST HAPPY FELLA) and put it over.
What an artist! :)
correct me if i'm wrong but i think "gone with the wind" was already made into a musical. it was titled "scarlett" and the los angeles company starred lesley ann warren as scarlett o'hara and pernell roberts as rhett butler. anyone here have anymore information on it?

You are correct.
Believe it or not, SCARLETT (with a score by Harold Rome) had its World Premiere in Tokyo!
Then played in London, then toured USA with cast you mentioned but never made it to NY.
Reason I put it on list is because SCARLETT failed and I would like to see a SUCCESSFUL musical version of GONE WITH THE WIND.
Trivial Pursuit: When SCARLETT first opened in Tokyo, show ran
4 1/2 hours!!!
They must have comfortable seats in Theaters over there... :)
1. The Royal Tenenbaums
2. Adaptation
3. Disney's Dumbo
4. Gangs of New York (perhaps it would be better to work from the book)
5. Amelie
6. Pulp Fiction
7. A.I.: Artificial Intelligence
8. Citizen Kane
9. Frida
10. The Talented Mr. Ripley
I think Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off would do fairly well (specially the first one).
ummm i LOVED Moulin Rouge *not sure of the spelling*... even though it is already a musical i would love to see it on stage I LOVE euan mcgregor and who know Nicole Kidman could sing
Well Lord of the Rings is becoming a musical. It opens Fall 2005 in London.
damn you spider...I think Ferris would be a great musical as would "Weekend at Bernie's"
does anyone think that "steel magnolias" lends itself to a musical adaptation or should it be left just as a play?
i always thought "splendor in the grass" would make an interesting musical.
as far as recent movies, nothing really comes to mind at the moment.
Not even Anacondas: Hunt For The Blood Orchid, Marquise?
oh i forgot about that one! and before i forget toss in my suggestion for a rock opera based on ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR with Music and Lyrics by JIM STEINMAN. Updated On: 10/7/04 at 05:45 AM
It could play in repertory with Freddy Vs Jason. It would be HUGE!

Marquise! DON'T INSULT JIM STEINMAN!!
YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET ME STARTED!!!
Oh Lord knows we wouldn't want that. Go sit down and take your prozac you are in dire need of a dose.
How about a full length rock opera based on STREETS OF FIRE with Music and Lyrics by...dare i say? JIM STEINMAN!
OOPS! I did it again..NOW COME FOR ME!

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - lol! That would be cool!

I'll come for you, Marquise! I'll chase you through the hills!
to the tune of what? "bat out of hell", "making love out of nothing at all", or no better yet: "NOWHERE FAST"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
