saw ALOT of these on broadway (broadway was so affordable back then)...but i look at some of these from the perspective of the transformation, not just how good the movie was...
some faltered with the casting (dreamgirls, evita, rock of ages)...some did respective interpretations (sweeney todd, grease, chicago)...some are cool (jesus christ superstar, hedwig)...some classic (cabaret, gigi)...and 'hairspray' actually started as a movie, then went to broadway, then became another movie...
but, to vote...i know which one i love (rocky horror)...i know which one i like alot (hair), especially since a friend of mine was in the movie..and i know which one i kinda liked (rent), especially since a friend of mine wrote the broadway show (may he rest in peace), so...
in all due respect to my friends, i still have to go with rocky horror...

May I suggest "Funny Girl" (1968) with Barbara Streisand and Omar Sharif. It is really good. It which led to a sequal called "Funny Lady" (1975)
- South Pacific
- Flower Drum Song
- Oklahoma (even if it did cut the merchant's song.)

I would also suggest to read the collection of interconnected stories that the play was based on, "Tales Of The South Pacific" by James A. Michener. It is excellent reading.

Simply the greatest piece of entertainment ever made in my opinion, and how can you go wrong with Tim Curry?
