7. The Evil Dead
On Film: Sam Raimi’s classic early horror finds Ash (Bruce Campbell) dealing with demons and danger in the woods
Marked by a frenetic shooting style and clever use of low-budget filming methods, it’s campy, cult and sheer genius.
On Stage: It could never work on stage. Don’t be ridiculous. It’s… Sorry, what? Oh. Oh, right.

Yup. Also was thinking the other day that ScarFace would make a great musical.. I like you Tony, you're not a fake or a phony and unlike my misstress you're not skiny and bony You came here on a boat from Cuba You didn't need a wetsuit or a snorkle or scuba, diving suit. And the classic end song.. Say, hello, to my little friend This isn't the start, it is now the eeeeeeeeend. etc. Yeah musical genious me. On a non mad note, Nightmare before Christmas would make a great stage show, why the hell hasn't that happened yet?

You know which of these shouldn't have been a movie? Starship Troopers. I mean, it shouldn't have been a movie in the Paul Verhoven style. It was a great book and would have made a great film, had they makers really cared that much about the story and characters and plotpoints. Poor Robert Heinlein. Has there ever been a decent adaptation of any of his works? I have seen two of his books as films, and got stomache cramps right after watching both of them: Starship Troopers and Puppet Master (Donald Sutherland).
