Road to El Dorado(Is that animated movie a musical already?) The Prince of Egypt(I would so see that if Roger Bart was in it. Remember King David?) That's all I can think of now.
I think ORIGINAL SIN would make a great stage musical.

Funny, sweet, romantic and contemporary UTTS is sort of a "Do I Hear A Waltz?" that could actually sing. And if you watch the movie, it's got the perfect number of principal and ensemble roles for a modern musical.
This is also a not perfect movie that could actually be improved upon with the transition to the stage.
Everybody go rent the DVD tomorrow. Diane Lane is so charming, and an old man who never says (sings ) a word sets just the right tone for this kind of fluff. Updated On: 7/13/05 at 08:40 PM
These requests to see "BatMan" on Broadway reminds me of an old Mad TV skit.
The did a parody of what "BatMan, The Musical" would look like on Broadway. They had Tommy Tune playing Batman, swinging around lampposts and singing, "I'm Batman!".
With Ben Vereen as Robin! It was hysterical, made even funnier with "clips from the documentary" of the rehearsals of the show. Wish I had recorded it...
"My dreams, watching me said, one to the other...this life has let us down."
Kill Bill VOL I--They could make it like Galagher and hand out tarps and raincoats to the first few rows so they don't get their clothes dirty with prop blood!
Did Mommie Die
The Princess Diaries
LEGEND! That would be a good one!
Dawn of the Dead
Buffy the Vampire Slayer-a mix of the movie and the tv series
GLITTER was a good suggestion, but Mariah would have to still be in it. probably would be better than the movie
Mambo Kings... oh wait, they already did that and it got dusted. That's a shame.
I love some of the ideas people have on here! They are great, and I usually don't like movies turned musical. Would love to see some of the suggestions though
Moonstruck and Tim Burtons' Nightmare.. are good choices. Liked your suggestions also Unmasked05 My suggestions:
Anne of Green Gables
Bowfinger (of course): Maybe Eddie can do Jiff again.
Twilight Zone episode about a man who died and thinks he's in heaven (because he wins at gambling all of the time) but he discovers at the end he's really in hell. Updated On: 7/14/05 at 09:35 AM
Someone mentioned Paper Moon, which already was a musical w/ music by Larry Grossman. It was at Paper Mill with Gregory Harrison and in Philadelphia's Walnut St. Theater (where I saw it.) It flopped and never made it to B'way, even though it had alot of potential.
