Films/TV Shows to be Adapted to the Stage

For this post, I was inspired by an assignment I have just received in my Theatre class.

So, we all know that there are a select few films that have been adapted to the stage, but some have only been tryouts and never made it to Broadway, or even Off-Broadway. What films (or even TV shows) would you like to see on the stage? I'd also love to hear some dream casts, dream composers, and ideas for the set design, lighting, costuming, etc.! For example, I know there has been a junior version available for licensing, but I would love to see Mulan produced on Broadway! I think it would be spectacular, and Eva Noblezada would make a wonderful Mulan. 

I know there have been several threads made about this same topic, but I was hoping to get some new ideas!
