90. "Little Shop Of Horrors."
Sat Jul 5, 2025, 09:20 PM
Jul 2025

Yes, I know they changed the ending from the stage musical. But I still love it.

Rick Moranis and Ellen Green singing “Suddenly, Seymour” is so unexpectedly moving that it just makes the entire movie.

And falling in love with Ashman and Menkin’s song “Somewhere That’s Green” made it that much more magical when hearing their song “Part Of Your World” years later in Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”.
