Singing along is encouraged in Frank Oz’s musical cult classic about meek floral shopkeeper Seymour (Moranis), who nurses the vampiric alien plant Audrey II (voiced marvelously by Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops) while battling it out with a demented dentist (Martin) and winning the heart of Audrey (Greene). With all-star cameos by Bill Murray, James Belushi, John Candy, and more, Little Shop of Horrors is “just the right mixture of playfulness, tunefulness and blood lust.” (The New York Times).
