What movie do you think is the best adaptation from a book you’ve read?
I honestly loved the Harry Potter movies IDC what anyone says lol.
& Lincoln Lawyer
Me too!
I agree. Great actors too!
And Me 🙂
Gone Girl. I felt the movie really captured the book.
I also loved the Harry Potter ones….and Hunger games
I agree about the Harry potter ones and hunger games. I also enjoyed the Hobbit and Lord of the rings.
Pride and Predujice with Keira Knightly (did I spell that wrong?) The story was very precisely tailored to the book, and was exactly as I’d expected the story to feel like.
I liked that one as well. But I like the one with Collin Firth a little better. but both are good.
That is one of my favorite movies with one of my favorite actresses. (Keira’s version)
Harry Potter series was good and all, but not the best adaptation I’ve ever seen, so…
The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I loved the book and it does have certain scenes missing but I honestly loved it.
I agree!!!
The Hunger Games hands down. They just got better and better. And the acting was just so well done as well as the world building. It really felt like I was experiencing what I had in the book and to be honest I liked the Mockingjay movies better then the book.
I agree. I thought they did it absolutely perfectly.
I agree x
For me… Interview with a Vampire
I enjoyed the movie version of Gone Girl.
Not movie but series. I think Outlander did a fantastic job
Yesssss!!!!!
The Godfather—1&2! Although, The Princess Bride is a very close second!???
Spud was pretty good ? as a fellow South African I’m so proud of that movie adaption to the book ?
I agree with Tori – Outlander is very well done
I could never get into the books and tried about three times. Love the show though.
Me Before You and The Hunger Games. For TV – Outlander.
I hated Harry Potter 4 and 6. It was nothing like the book…
I liked books 1-4 a lot. The others were good too but not amazing.
A Monster Calls. It was just perfect!
I want to see that but didn’t read the book.
Love love love this book!!
Glad to hear this. I love that book but haven’t seen the movie yet.
The Lord of the rings, true blood was better than the book , but not a loyal adaptation. The first season of game of thrones is good af
lol I disagree, especially on the True blood account… they went so far away from the plot it was ridiculous.
The Lord of the Rings. It was made even better than the book and I read all the books
Ohh yeag
I loved LOTR movies but for me books were way better…. movies cut too much out
Homeward Bound (the newer movie.). I loved the book as a child.
The hunger games, definitely.
TFIOS and Catching fire were pretty good
All of the Hunger Games movies
Stephen King’s Green Mile. It was seriously word-for-word exact.
The Shawshank Redemption is pretty close to the story. I also loved the Hunger Games movies. They did not disappoint me.
Water for elephants is a great adaptation
I still need to read this book! Been sitting in my kindle for years ?
The Kite Runner
Holes
This book was great. I’ve never seen the movie.
I still need to read this book!
I also enjoyed both the book and movie of this.
Gone With the Wind- hands down, all time favorite. ThornBirds, The North and The South, Roots (the original) were all excellent mini series.
Which North and the south?
I’m sorry @Tori! I was typing faster than my brain was thinking. I did enjoy The North and The South and always thought it would make a great book series!
i would agree, Gone with the wind!
There are multiple versions of North and the South series…. I was just curious which version you thought was best
Fight Club and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Little Women
The Outsiders
Perfume
the neverending story
The road
I like Bridge to Terabithia as much as the book. I liked the movie The Mighty better than the book Freak the Mighty.
Of mice & men. The screen play. Best thing I’ve ever watched. It was just like the book.
Harry Potter movies.
The harry potters weren’t that bad but if im being honest nothing can ever beat the book. If I had to pick the best I’d say The Outsiders
