Master Harold and The Boys, a Broadway play, was made into a movie about South Africa. Not great but worth seeing.

The Jewel In The Crown was a brilliant movie makeover of the trilogy. Read the books and saw the series at the same time trying to stay one chapter ahead. Not theatre but TV.

I loved "The Piano" and also loved "The Apostle". Robert Duvall can do no wrong. But I have never been able to see a Godfather movie from beginning to end. And I fell asleep during Batman. But I also fell asleep during Phantom when it played on Broadway. Trainspotting disgusted me; I just don't get the humor in neglected babies and shooting dogs in the butt.

I prefer to go to the movies alone so that I can get up and leave if I am bored. Sorry for the babble.
