Little Shop of Horrors
Frank Oz’s 1986 horror-comedy musical, an adaption of the off-Broadway hit—itself an adaptation of the 1960 Roger Corman cult film—sees geeky floral-shop worker Seymour (Rick Moranis) nice-guy his way into the heart of his dream woman, Audrey (Ellen Greene). But with love comes complications, including the interference of her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend (Steve Martin, having a blast playing a sadistic dentist; Bill Murray has a cameo as a pain-loving patient), and Seymour’s increasingly aggressive pet plant/alien, Audrey II (voiced by Motown legend Levi Stubbs). The film is pretty true to the stage play, with one notable exception: It has a much happier ending. (Rent on Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube, Vudu)
