Hundreds, if not thousands. And none of them should be made into stage musicals because the movies already exist, the movie casting in almost all cases can't possibly be improved, and the hour's worth of padding needed to turn a fleet 90-minute movie into a galumphing two-and-a-half hour stage musical is almost as much drudgery to create as it is to sit through--especially since the creators of the original scores aren't around any longer to expand them.
