No Country For Old Men The Road The Lord of The Rings The Green Mile The Princess Bride First Blood The Town (book: Prince of Thieves) Harry Potter 1 & 2 Never Let Me Go Let Me In (Let the Right One In) To Kill a Mockingbird Bridge to Terabithia Forrest Gump (better than the book) Perfume: The Story of a Murderer The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (both versions) …these are the ones I can think of right now.
Stand By Me (from the novella “The Body,” by Stephen King) The Shawshank Redemption (Stephen King) The Green Mile (Stephen King) Most of the Harry Potter movies (J.K. Rowling) The Accidental Tourist (Ann Tyler) The Great Santini (Pat Conroy) Matilda (Roald Dahl)
Chocolat by Joanne Harris. The film was a good version. Slightly different in some aspects but it made it more appealing. I just didn’t like the fact they used the town mayor in the film as the antagonist when it should have been the priest like in the book. The priest makes more sense.

Stardust
yes. i agree.

Carrie (better than the book).

A Town Like Alice, originally titled The Legacy, by Nevil Shute. Epic, in the truest sense of the word, both in print and on film.
Chocolat by Joanne Harris. The film was a good version. Slightly different in some aspects but it made it more appealing. I just didn’t like the fact they used the town mayor in the film as the antagonist when it should have been the priest like in the book. The priest makes more sense.
Hunger games. All of them.
