THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS isn't an 80s movie and there was already a GOONIES musical made.

I want a RUTHLESS PEOPLE and a HOWARD THE DUCK musical.

I want them mixed together as "Ruthless Duck."

Other '80s movies to hopefully grace the Great White Way:

Field of Dreams -- I want a cornfield built and torn down on stage for a baseball diamond. Maybe they can just use "Shoeless Joe From Hannibal, MO" from Damn Yankees as one of the songs!

The Big Chill -- nothing says "Broadway musical" like a bunch of people sitting around talking in a living room.

The Breakfast Club -- nothing says "Broadway musical" like a bunch of teenagers sitting around talking in detention.

St. Elmo's Fire -- just because.

Zapped --- same reason.

Cocoon --- just think, it could be like "Follies" but with aliens and spaceships!

I've said for years that I wish Carly Simon would write music for a WORKING GIRL musical. I think it could be amazing.

I could definitely see Working Girl being a good musical.

What about Xanadu or Ghost? I think they'd both make excellent musicals.

GHOST is a 90s movie, so clearly it would be a flop.
