Wasn't My Fair Lady inspired by "Pygmalion" a stage play by GB Shaw? which was turned into a movie "Pygmalion (1938)" and then into the Broadway show My Fair Lady, and finally into the movie musical. A small detail, but I think worth mentioning.
So shouldn't #2 be "Pygmalion"?

I would suggest the next poster changing #2 to Pygmalion/My Fair Lady for clarity. Of course, it's the OP's call.

Sounds good to me...
There are a few more films on this list to be had.
Films that were turned into Broadway musicals that inspired film versions of said show:
1) Little Shop Of Horrors 2) Pygmalion - to My Fair Lady 3) The Producers 4) Romeo and Juliet - to West Side Story. (I'm not sure if this counts as it was the play that inspired the musical, but R & J was indeed filmed many times before WSS was produced on Broadway. Whether or not any specific movie adaptation had inspirational value I don't know.)
Is this a baker's dozen, or do we just keep going (assuming that there are at least 13 such movies to list)?

The rules say to answer only once... but there are at least 2 more answers that I can think of...
I was kinda hoping that others would fill the holes to get up to 13.
The rule in Baker's Dozen is that you can't post on the list consecutively, only alternatively, unless the thread is struggling. You're limited to one entry on the list per post, not per topic. There's no rule that says that you can only post once. So post away. I can think of at least 4. I'm assuming that my post at #4 is OK .

Oops, you shook me off. I really must learn to read much more closely.

Likewise. I just realised that Smike never made it to being a movie musical, just a stage show. :-)
