People Are Naming The Movies They Think Would Be Great Musicals, And I'm Not Gonna Lie, I Can Kind Of See Some Of Them

"Just picture that lawyer from Jurassic Park singing his heart out on the toilet before he's chomped by a T-Rex."

In light of the news that Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is getting a musical sequel with Lady Gaga, we asked the BuzzFeed Community which films they'd love to see get a musical adaptation, and as always, they didn't disappoint. Here are 21 of the best suggestions:

Warner Bros. Pictures

1. The Lord of the Rings

New Line Cinema

"Somehow the thought of a singing and dancing Nazgûl attempting to look intimidating at the same time amuses me. I’d probably mute the TV when Gollum starts screeching a song though – that part would sound awful."

—jaredpurfield

2. The Princess Bride

20th Century Fox

"It would be a great musical! Fezzick and Inigo using their rhymes would work perfectly! The Dread Pirate Roberts doing a pirate shanty would be epic, and obviously a Westley and Buttercup ballad called 'As You Wish' would have to be in there."

3. Jurassic Park

Universal Pictures

"Just picture that lawyer from Jurassic Park singing his heart out on the toilet before he's chomped by a T. rex."

4. Us

Universal Pictures

"I'm definitely one for more of a creepy musical, and this could be scary AF! What could be better than I Got Five on It as a continual motif throughout the show!? Also, THAT ballet scene with a live orchestra and two dancers would be unreal."

—hanifahrahman

5. The Truman Show

Paramount Picrtures

"I think it would be interesting to see. There would be numbers about Truman's increasing paranoia, the director's struggle for control, his wife and friend's growing guilt about how they are manipulating Truman, and a love song between Truman and Sylvia."

6. One of the Alien films.

20th Century Fox

"I can just imagine a song and dance routine happening when the alien bursts out of John Hurt's chest. Also, a creepy song using children's voices when the pods are discovered would deffo work."

—kayblu02

7. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Universal Pictures

"Hear me out – every battle could be in a different musical style, and the band’s songs would likely be absolute nonsense. The first fight is pretty much already a musical number anyway."

— henrygman

8. Black Swan

Fox Searchlight Pictures

"It's already perfect for a musical considering the dancing and the score, and Nina's struggle would be intriguing, fascinating, and emotional to witness on stage."

—psychemyk

9. The Matrix

Warner Bros.

"This musical would call for some acrobats for sure! I can picture it now, an ensemble agent Smith cast providing the atmospheric chorus for some dramatic dancing fight scenes. It would be fairly spectacular!"

—bendzialdowski

10. Pirates of the Caribbean

Buena Vista Pictures

"Even if every song was a ship full or sailors singing Yo Ho, I think it would totally work. All the swinging between ships on ropes in the movie gives me ~big~ ensemble dance scene vibes, and Hans Zimmer's score is perfect to go alongside it."

—sam_cleal

11. It

New Line Cinema

"I have been wanting an It musical forever! Georgie and Pennywise doing a duet... Yes, please! And I would LOVE a Richie Tozier solo. Make it happen!"

—rileymacdonald

12. Pulp Fiction

Miramax

"Now, this would be a fairly ambitious one, but just think of the soundtrack! A duet with Vincent and Jules called 'Royale With Cheese,' and you'd have to have some sort of Chuck Berry tribute going on alongside the iconic dance scene!"

—casualgem30

13. Gladiator

DreamWorks Distribution LLC

"I think this would be a more Le Mis-style musical – somewhat operatic with singing as the primary storytelling device. The epic score and the dramatic fight scenes would make for one impressive musical!"

—bendzialdowski

14. Drop Dead Fred

New Line Cinema

"Rik Mayall has been gone for close to a decade now — how and why has there never been a musical adaptation of this film?! A movie with bright '90s colours, slapstick comedy, and a bittersweet storyline — it's practically begging for it!"

—ladygreyblack1975

15. 50 First Dates

Sony Pictures Releasing

"I think it could actually work because it's a comedy, but it also has emotional moments fit for a ballad or two."

—debbieresnick

16. Pleasantville

New Line Cinema

"No one really talks about this film anymore, and I don't know why. I actually think it would work well as a musical, as long as they didn't make it too perky."

—bluedecor

17. The Notebook

New Line Cinema

"For entertainment value alone, I'd love to see what they'd do to make it a musical."

—whatsuplosechester

18. 13 Going on 30

Sony Pictures Releasing

"I genuinely think this film would work really well as a musical! It has that perfect level of cheesiness, which really lends itself to a musical adaptation."

—dawnw42c9bb8ed

19. The Avengers

Disney Studios Motion Pictures

"I feel like it’s only a matter of time until the Avengers stage musical from Hawkeye becomes a real thing, and while it's not something I'm necessarily asking for, I wouldn't not see it."
