In a year when one of the ten Oscar nominees for best picture ends with scenes from one of the greatest plays ever written, another is about a theater actress and her film director father, and a third has a subject (and a title) that’s been on Broadway before, while several of the other nominated films feature car cashes or gun fights, it seems natural to wonder: Which of the ten movies would make the best stage play? The worst play? The best musical? Offer your opinion in the poll

Without seeing the results, my choices were exactly the same as the majority:

Best (Musical): Sinners
Best (Play): Hamnet
Worst (Play or Musical): F1

I know it is not nominated for best pic but I’d be interested in a chamber Off Broadway musical adapted from If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

Bugonia would be the easiest movie to turn into a stage play. Sinners would be a great musical, the original movie score is phenomenal. Not sure anything else would translate as well.
