Tobacco Road - John Ford (1941)
I haven't read the book, but a glance at a synopsis of the novel made it clear that Ford and his screenwriter Nunally Johnson did something similar doing a all-dancing musical set in a Shriners childrens hospital. Bessie's hymns reflect Ford's interest in traditional American music.

The Last Broadcast - Stefan Avalos & Lance Weiler (1998)
Despite a disappointing ending, I enjoyed this smorgasbord of low-budget video techniques and humor. Prior to the final omnisient minutes I caught a whiff of _The Thin Blue Line_. Afterwards a scent of _Frenzy_. Loved the title "Editor for the Prosecution"

An incredible cast including Groucho Marx, Robert Benchley, Vincent Price, and Keenan Wynn act out the story of a single molecule who refuses to obey the laws of physics and gets put on trial. a parable of the rights of the individual, all told in rhyme!

The Steel Helmet - Samuel Fuller (1951)
The first shot of the helmet transforming into a squirming, wounded Gene Evans grunting his way through his downed comrades is worth the price of admission alone.
