Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

  This is such an awesome musical.  Based off a crappy B-movie (directed by Roger Corman) which was turned into a successful Broadway show, this movie is super fun, campy, and star-studded.

Plus it's got a giant murderous plant that sings.  That's awesome!

Seymour (Rick Moranis) is a sadsack who lives in a failing florist shop in Skid Row.  He's desperately in love with the gorgeous but damaged Audrey (Ellen Greene), even though she's in an abusive relationship with a sadistic dentist (Steve Martin).  He finds a bizarre little plant during a total eclipse and sticks it in the front window to bring in business.  The plant grows exponentially after he discovers its favorite food:  blood.

Plus, singing!
