> I've got nothing against the classics, but I kind of hope that next time such a list comes around we see a little more contemporary representation. Of course, the somewhat flawed adaptations of Phantom, Rent and The Producers aren't helping that cause too much.

I think that's mostly it. The list was specifically for movie adaptations. The only contemporary musical adaptation I can think of that would even be in the running is Evita. Are there others that would have had a chance? Surely I'm forgetting something.

And I wish so much that there was even one good movie version of a Sondheim musical.
