Let's play a little game. I'm calling it "Decline and Fall." The goal is to list ever-declining versions of the same work of art, generally movies and plays and the like. The goal is to start with the best version and work your way down. For instance:
Taming of the Shrew (the play),
Taming of the Shrew (Elizabeth Taylor version),
10 Things I Hate About You,
10 Things I Hate About You (the TV show)
(Note: A shining beacon that all it not lost: Taming of the Shrew in the BBC remake Shakespeare Retold.)
My Fair Lady,
Pygmalion (the myth),
Pygmalion (the play),
She's All That
Freaky Friday (2003),
Wish Upon A Star,
Vice Versa,
Freaky Friday (1976),
Freaky Friday (1995),
It's a Boy Girl Thing
