Name the two Best Picture winners that were adapted for the big screen from plays that captured the Pulitzer Prize.
Pictured: Rabbit Hole, the 2010 film based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play. It has been nominated for one Academy Award (Nicole Kidman -- Best Actress).
Driving Miss Daisy

I think one might be the Capra classic, "You Can't Take it With You," which preceded the pairing of Barrymore and Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" by about 10 years. It's also interesting that Barrymore and Stewart had a reversal of fortune in those films because, in the first film, Stewart was the wealthy one. I saw this film on TCM, and it was charming, smart, and funny. I have not seen or read the play.

I would've guessed Amadeus.

DRIVING MISS DAIISY and YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU are the two correct answers.
AMADEUS won the 1981 Tony Award for Best Play, but I don't believe that it received the Pulitzer Prize.
