Greek Chorii

[gfish]

I was reading some Sophocles this week, and I started thinking about the concept of the greek chorus. They're a very weird thing, a misshapen relic from the first attempts at mass media. It would be interesting to do a movie with a chorus in it.

But first, research!

I'm looking to flesh out a rental schedule for next week. We usually rent by theme (this week was spaghetti westerns), so why not all movies that feature hot greek chorus action? Web searches came up with Mighty Aphrodite and Disney's Hercules. A pretty sad collection, so I'm open to suggestions. What other movies have chorii?

I think Phedre (French film adaption of Racine play) has a Greek chorus in it. Actually, pretty much any adaption of a classical play will probably have a chorus...
