As for Phantom, I've seen it on stage twice and absolutely love it. I don't think I want to ruin the memory by seeing the movie. I'm pretty sure it's reopening soon (if it hasn't already) here in Chicago and I might take my wife to see it. I dig on Andrew Lloyd Webber and other musical theatre. Seen Les Miserables, Phantom, and Miss Saigon from ALW and have also been to Rent a couple of times (this is my fave). And I have not seen any movie versions of any of these (save for the gorefest version of Phantom with Robert "Freddie Krueger" Englund -- I just couldn't say no).
