A musical version of any non musical film (RAR!)

[Zor]

And now for something downright silly.

In this thread, you are given an offer by Q which will cost you absolutely nothing in any way. Basically Q allows you to choose any non musical, non porn film ever made and have all the studio heads behind it say "Hey, a Musical version of (inset film name here) would be awesome, lets make it" and produce a Musical version of it on film. The Ring, Akira, Starship Troopers, Alien, Gone with the Wind, any film can have a musical adaptation so long is it not a Musical already and not outright porn. Once done, you get a free ticket to see said musical.

So what do you choose to have a musical adaptation

[KrauserKrauser]

Battlefield Earth.

As L. Ron truly intended.

[irishmick79]

Reservoir Dogs

Hit musical number is "The Disembowlment Tango"

[Solauren]

The original Transformers animated movie. (Redone with the new Transformers movies CGI)

Can you imagine Unicron singing before he destroys Cybertron?

[Frank Hipper]

Sophie's Choice, Grave of the Fireflies, Requiem For A Dream, Shindler's List...so many choices!

[Coyote]

"The Empire on Ice"!

Oh, wait, it's been done....

How about a musical "Lord of the Flies".

[The Spartan]

Aren't they putting together a Ghostbusters musical?

There's also Die Hard or Terminator. "Sarah Connnnor! Come with meee if you want to llliiivveee!!"

Indiana Jones. I think it would transfer really well. Hell all the movies, can you imagine Indy singing about betrayal after tossing that guy the whip? Or a soliloquy (wow I spelled that right on the first try) on his father right before going through the tests to enter the grail chamber. An entire chorus for the rip-the-guys-heart-out scene.

OOOOOOooooo! What about Patton? We could make a whole song out of "Rommel! I read your book!" or the entire speech in front of the giant American flag. And if we're on war movies, "Apocalypse Now" And entire musical number on, "The Horror."

Fuck! I wish I had the musical skill to do this, there are so many possibilities.

[Oni Koneko Damien]

John Carpenter's 'The Thing'.

"See the blade? See it shine? How well it cuts, scientific advancement will be miiiiiine!"

"Gimme your cells! Gimme your cells! They are so delicious, I'll send you to hell! Your body is mine, it's what I do, I'll gank your clothes, look juuuust liiiiiiiiike yooooooooou!"

"How's the generator?" "It's gone McCready, an empty floor." "Can it be salvaged? Try turning it on." "It's GONE McCready, gone, gooone, GOOOOONE!"

I vaguely remember stating on the board somewhere that Alexander acted out like The Sound of Music would be interesting.

[Nephtys]

The Evil Dea-- oh wait. There's ALREADY A musical of that!

[General Zod]

Sophie's Choice, Grave of the Fireflies, Requiem For A Dream, Shindler's List...so many choices!

I see I'm not the only one who thought of Schindler's List. . .

How about Of Mice and Men?

[darthdavid]

Plan 9 from Outer Space

[tim31]

Shindler's List...

And straight away I could see Ralph Fiennes singing as he looks through the scope of his Steyr. Shudder.

[Sriad]

Spider-Man 3.

Because the clusterfuckage of too many plots and absurd heel-face turns would be infinitely more acceptable behind the shield of absurdity offered by campy show tunes, and a format well known for maddeningly convoluted and over-dense plots. Hell, I've half-convinced myself it could be good already!

[Havok]

Reservoir Dogs

Hit musical number is "The Disembowlment Tango"

Interesting. I feel that one could make the argument that this movie is already a musical. The movie itself intertwines the music so thoroughly that to separate it would make it almost unrecognizable.

[NDR-113]

Spider-Man 3.

That would be hilarious.
I think my vote would have to go with Attack of the Giant Leeches, though.

[darthdavid]

Thought of a another good one. Manos, The HANDS OF FATE!

[Zed Snardbody]

Killer Clowns From Outer Space.

[JME2]

And if we're on war movies, "Apocalypse Now".

Already been done...

[The Spartan]

That's not good enough. I don't want a parody in cartoon; I want an actual honest-to-goodness musical based on the movie.

Fair point.

[spaceviking]

Soldier , Kurt Russel will only sing about 8 words though

[Raesene]

All six parts of Star Wars ?

Imagine Vader singing to Luke in ESB... or a R2 and C3PO duet...

[Drooling Iguana]

[JME2]

Ah, yes, one of Robot Chicken's more infamous sketches. I crack up every time I see that.
