Producers, The – DivX Version (Normal Quality), iPod/iPhone Version

IMDB rating: 6.60 Plot: New York, 1959. Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening night. Things turn around when he’s visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. To this end, they produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler written by escaped Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct. Finally, they hire as a lead actress the loopy Swedish bombshell Ulla (whose last name has over 15 syllables). As opening night draws near, what can go wrong? Well, there’s no accounting for taste… |

First of all, all of your examples except for Steel Magnolias are MUSICALS, not plays. But that’s being picky. Some other examples are A Streetcar Named Desire, Noises Off, Glass Menagerie, Dangerous Liaisons, pretty much anything Shakespeare, A Few Good Men, etcetera.

I just saw an excellent movie based on a play called "Bug" with Ashley Judd.
Brilliant psycho drama
