Tick Tick Boom is really good. As far as the 2000s go, I loved Chicago, Dreamgirls, and Hairspray. Sweeney Todd was okay. Nine (I would've gone with Antonio Banderas than Daniel Day-Lewis, who was phenomenal as Guido in the 2003 revival. I liked Chicago but Rob Marshall is trying to apply the same formula that doesn't work for Nine), Mamma Mia, and the 2004 Phantom of the Opera movie were really bad, as was Rent (I liked that it had half the original cast but they were really too old for their roles at that point), and The Producers tried to use some 4th wall breaking that only works on stage and not the screen. Fast forward to the 2010s, Les Mis and CATS did not work at all and this was from a director that I liked for his work on "The King's Speech" (This pretty much echoes what you've mentioned about hiring directors that don't understand musicals). I haven't seen "The Last Five Years". "Into the Woods" was okay and I liked Meryl Streep as the Witch and Anna Kendrick as Cinderella. "Annie" wasn't good and I think it was this movie that lead Cameron Diaz into retirement.
