Best & Worst Books to Movies

<< < (8/14) > >>

ampersandwitch:
The Girl Interrupted movie totally sucked.

Lines:
I saw the movie first (and liked it) and then realized it was based of a book and once I read the book, I was disappointed with the movie. I really wish it would have jumped around like the book did, but noooo. Now I have the habit, if I know there is a movie coming out that is based off of a book, I compulsively have to read the book first.

ampersandwitch:
In other news, American Psycho is a great movie out of a decentish book.
The Prestige is amazing, and out of the shittiest book evar.

Orbert:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest really surprised me, because I'd seen the movie first, a couple of times, then had it as assigned reading for a class. Whoa! First person, Chief Bromden? It did make that very last scene make sense, though. I'd never figured it out. Okay, I knew what he was doing, but the significance somehow escaped me.

Faker:
Was reading down through this and my first reaction was "wow no one has mentioned The Godfather or One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest yet" but then they did, so yay people!

I gotta say that The Godfather movie is by far superior to the book, so that puts it top of the list in terms of adaptions for me.

Haven't seen the movie of Catch-22 yet, but I always thought it would work well as a movie, the way a line of dialogue would segue from one scene to another always seemed more like a cinematic editing device than a literary one.
