Food for thought: What was a good show/bad movie? Good show/good movie?

Because I'm bored, I'm opening this up for discussion. In your mind, what musical is generally good on stage, but when it hit the big screen, turned plain sour? Likewise, what musical (or play for that matter) was good on stage, and the movie measured up? My picks:

Good Stage Show/Bad Movie: GODSPELL. Works greaton stage (if done well), but watching that movie is just too bizarre for words. Makes me wonder what they actors are "on" in all honesty. The material just doesn't translate well to a screen at all.

Good Stage Show/Equally Good movie: WEST SIDE STORY. Even the few changes they made worked well for me.

Not to start anything, but the movie of Les Miserables isn't based on the show version...its based on the book. Two entirely different productions....maybe its just me being picky.

Good show/bad movie
Phantom of the Opera
Hair (I just don't like it...)

Good show/good movie
Funny Girl
Chicago
West Side Story (totally agree)
