In
all probability one of the best movies ever made, with some of the best
movie quotes, is "All About Eve"--a classic in every way. I have always
liked 'backstage ' movies  whether about Broadway or Hollywood. These are a few of my favorie and sadly many, like "The Star", have not been seen.

Hollywood
seems to deal better with adapting plays to the movies than musicals
though there are exceptions to the rule such as "West Side Story", "The
King and I", "Sound of Music",  "Oklahoma", etc., but don't ever see the
movie versions of "A Chorus Line" or "Man of La Mancha"!

Here are some of the better movie adaptations of plays:
