Favorite Novel Based Movies!

There are very few Movies that can pull off the pure essence of a great novel. Here are a few I think did a great job. But of course the books are always better :)

Fried Green Tomatos
Girl, Interrupted
To Kill A Mockingbird
Prozac Nation
Lord of the Rings (they were alright)

"Friend Green Tomatoes"
"The Color Purple"
(Almost Every Stephen King Movie)
*There Are Many Others Just Cant Think Of Any Right Now*

Fried Green Tomatos. x)

Pay it Forward...

King Of Kings
Spiderman
Ai

Memoirs of a Geisha.

awesome, awesome.

i prefer books cause you can hear what they thinking...hamlet was good

Interview with the Vampire

hated Queen of the Damned, which had a good bit of The Vampire Lestat added in too

I loved to read to kill a mockingbird but i hated to watch the movie, i dont know why. The Lion the witch and the wardrobe movie is my all time favorite book/movie along with the harry potter series.

All of the books are better than the movies. I have always thought this way and always will.

I think that Jaws is both a great book and great movie, a rare event.

Gone with the wind- Yes it is a classic, but both the book and movie are amazing.

There are many good ones. Actually a lot of the best movies comes from novels.

My life as a fairytale (you probably didn't hear bout it, it's a movie based on the life story of Hans Christian Anderson and his book bout it)
