What movies do you think would make a great musical?

The Princess Diaries
Parent Trap (it would be difficult, but I think it would be entertaining)
Raising Helen (maybe...)

I think that all 3 movies you listed would make HORRIBLE musicals


I have an idea, how about some ORIGINAL musicals!!!! I am getting a little bored with this trend of making movies into musicals, I want ORIGINAL!

Blades of Glory.

I think making movies into musicals is a lame idea and I want it to end NOW.

"Parent Trap" would be difficult, but probably good.
"Raising Helen" would bomb.
"Princess Diaries" would be good.
"Poseidon" would be very entertaining.

Poseidon would be impossible. It had no plot and depended entirely on special effects. Just what about it would be appropriate for a song?

I know, but it would be pretty good.

BIG FISH.

It must happen before the "movies to stage" trend ends...I think it could be a remarkable theatrical experience with an imaginative director and the proper composer.

^Ohhhh, I actually sort of like the idea of making Big Fish into a musical. I loved that movie.

But I completely agree with spacedog, let's get some more original shows back on Broadway.

I hate to break it to you all, but there RARELY are truly original musicals. Almost every musical, new or old, has been adapted from a previous work, whether it be a film, novel, biography, or straight play.

RAISE YOUR VOICE, with Hilary Duff reprising her brilliant performance!

The Princess Bride! I was upset when they put it on hold...

I was scanning my row of DVDs I have and "Raise Your Voice" caught my eye. But I can't say I'm a huge fan of Hilary Duff. She's okay, but not Broadway material.

School of Rock is a pretty good idea. The only reason I like that movie is because Adam Pascal is in it.

Adam Pascal plays the jerk :) Love that movie
