So you guys whats your favorite book turned movie?
Or favorite movie that was based on a book?
I think I’d have to say hmmmm for once not Twilight - I hated the movie!
It totally lost the flavor of the book.
and not Brick Lane either - all the characters were hidious and totally screwed up my interpretation of the movie.
Not Namesake either —
I think I just prefer books.

Re: Book Turned Movie
Jurassic Park?
Re: Book Turned Movie
**I think out of all the novel based movies i've seen .......
Jason Bourne is one ... but they changed the story completely ........
Twilight is also there .... as i guess they didn't changed the story much .......
Harry Potter n all the dan brown's novel based movies are surely not there

Re: Book Turned Movie
Jurrasic Park was a book! Nikki you and I are into completely different books aren't we - everytime you say something I learn something new.
cadet I totally forgot about HP loved the movies but i've never read the books.
Re: Book Turned Movie
hahah, yes I think a couple of the series is written by Michael Crichton. The books are more detailed in some places but I think the first Jurassic Park was the best.
Re: Book Turned Movie
There was an old pakistani movie "Muth'tee bhar Chawal" based on the novel by Rajinder Singh Bedi. Novel's name was 'Eik Chadar Mailee See". Later on indians made a movie on that with the same title as of novel.
Pakistani version was real classic.

peez peez peez peez peez folding hands together like Choti
My favorite is "Pride & Prejudice" which was masterly turned into a classic movie by A&E and BBC combined production... though there are older adaptaions too..
Usually, movies dont do justice to books - with one exception I have seen , movie Dr Zhivago was better than the book!
Re: Book Turned Movie
TLK I've seen that movie - although I was pretty young then.
Re: Book Turned Movie
"Lord of the Ring" was the best I think, they should make a movie based on 'The Hobbit' as well....my kids loved listening to the audio book.
Atonement.
Re: Book Turned Movie
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Emma by Jane Austen
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier--BBC version

which one, the paki one or the indian one
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Emma by Jane Austen
Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier--BBC version
angels and demons movie is a good movie but missed some very key elements of the book
i.e. the development of the mysterious assassin and making the reader wonder about who was behind the killings and why the assassin a muslim was doing it..
or the role of CERN, the book makes the reader think thet modern day CERN is the stronghold of the illuminati.
or the part about the camerlango being the son of the pope.
i enjoyed the movie but really thought it missed some major points that made the book so much more engaging
