Books/Movies/Events you'd love to see on stage

I know there's a thread on this, but I cannot find it for the life of me!

Books/movies I'd love to see on stage someday:

-Beetlejuice

-The Stepford Wives

-Rosemarys Baby (ironically, Stepford and Rosemary are written by the same guy, who also wrote Deathtrap. I could actually see Rosemary working in a very abstract sort-of way)

-A Corner of the Universe (I freaking love this book! But Ann Martin's agent didn't like the idea... sigh)

-Rage (if anyone has read this book...it is truly creeptastic...the original Bang, Bang, You're Dead...and one of Stephen King/Richard Bachman's best)

-Garden State (I don't know how well it would translate...but I just love the idea)

-Humbolt County

-The Sixth Sense

-The Nanny Diaries (the book. Not the movie. I think it could work. Only with an adult actor playing Grayer though...)

-something based on the Stanford Prison Experiment

...That's all I got.

Again, I know this has been posted, but find me the thread, I'll post this on there.

Movies -

The Nightmare Before Christmas,
The Bucket List (perhaps could add more characters, or keep it as intimate as it is)

T.V. shows -

Gavin & Stacey (UK comedy/drama)

Books -

The Historian,
A Series Of Unfortunate Events (not sure how it would work, but would love to see it!)

The Outsiders

I wrote book and lyrics for a musical of Beetlejuice, but early into the composition process, my composer quit, so the project is lingering in development hell. I don't want to apply for the rights until I have songs to show them on spec.

The Secret Life Of Bees and Cadillac Records with Patina Miller as Etta James

I'd love to see a stage adaptation of Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty, but one of the things I love so much about that movie is the use of Tchaikovsky's music, so I don't know how well I think that'd work.

I'd also love to see a stage adaptation of Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

For the Boys- I think this could be a better musical than it was a movie and I'm a huge fan of the movie.

Rear Window as a play.

An Affair to Remember as a musical.

Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell as a musical.

darquegk, **** getting rights!! Do it anyway.

givesmevoice, I agree on Bedknobs!! Sleeping Beauty is horrific though... I actually watched it the yesterday, and wondered how I was able to suffer through it as a kid.

Add to list:

The Craft (if it was done SUPER carefully)

American History X (alright...that's like three Fairuza Balk films now, but seriously...I think this one would be epic)

Lars and the Real Girl

The Social Network (weird concept, I know...but I think it'd be such a cool play)
