    Book ~ Movie

    Been off sick for 3 days so been in bed watching movies created from books. What's yer favourite?? There are hundreds if not thousands of movies that DONT do justice to the book. Let's have some that are just as good, if not better than the book.

    Here's a few I've watched, and read....

    Into The Wild
    One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
    The Shining

    Shawshank Redemption - based on a short story and turned into an absolute cinematic masterpiece!

    What, based on the above, suggests I haven't read the shorty story?!

    Stephen King's Different Seasons if you want the reference.

    Though I preferred the books, The Beach and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas are pretty good films too.

    Virginie Ledoyen in The Beach

    The Godfather, good book, great films.

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I didn't really like the book, enjoyed the film though.

    The Bible, tedious....but not nearly as tedious as Noah with Russell Crowe (ok, hands up....I've only read excerpts of the Bible )

    Sorry Sylar. That wasn't directed at you. Was just clarifying The rooolz.

    Wiseguy and Goodfellas are both very good.

    In fact I couldnt pick one over the other.

    Wise Guys - the book was better but it didn't have Joe Pecsi's famous scene in it.
    The Midnight Special book was far superior to the movie. Don't know why they changed the ending for the film. It was crap.

    I'm not sure if I think it's better, but Trainspotting must be close

    Would agree.

    Very different but both excellent in their own right

    LOTR I think is a super adaptation from the book, although I still think a place should have been found somewhere for Tom Bombadil ...

    Really enjoyed "The House of Spirits" adaptation of Allende's book ...

    Preferred the Connery/Caine version of "The Man Who Would Be King" to Rudyard Kipling's story...

    Thought "It" the movie was a decent take on Stephen King's book ...

    To Kill A Mockingbird.

    The only book I read and enjoyed whilst at school. Classic book and brilliant film, probably a life changer really. Gregory Peck is just so cool.

    The book would have to come with an audio facility that played the "mernup, murnup, mernup" etc, in the appropriate places. :)

    Liked both the book and movie of 'American Psycho'. Yon Bret Easton Ellis is some lad!
