With the finale of Harry Potter soon to be upon us, TheMoviePool takes a look at the history of book adaptations in filmmaking and have chosen the 20 best book-to-movie adaptations of all time.
Death Whisperer Review: Nadech Kugimiya makes for a beefy protagonist in this horror movie that any and all thrills!
What Jennifer Did Review: Documentary navigates twists and turns of the story really well.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
Good list. I really like "the Godfather" films but have not read the Puzo novel. "The Lord of the Rings" are great just like the books.
The next part of the list has to include "Gone with the Wind."
Chalk me up as another that didn't know Fight Club was a book first.
But yea. To say there haven't ever been any good ones is almost asinine. In fact, right now I can think of so many that I don't think your Top 10 will be able to fit them all.
Gone With the Wind (as mentioned)
To Kill a Mockingbird better be in there.
The Shining better be in there too.
Apocalypse Now
Schindler's List
The 39 Steps
Into the Wild
No Country for Old Men
Bourne Trilogy
Willy Wonka
A Clockwork Orange
Trainspotting
The Outsiders
Lord of the Flies
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Prestige
Ok. I'll stop now. Clearly more than 10. Some of these may not deserve to be in the top 10, but all good book-to-movie films.
Wow, i never knew these movies were based on Book & yet are my all time favorites.
The Prestige
Bourne Trilogy
Apocalypse Now
Gone With the Wind
Fight Club
Lord Of The Rings.
