Today's challenge was very difficult for me. I am supposed to share a favorite book that has been turned into a movie. The example that was given for today was Pride and Prejudice, which is one of my favorites as well, but the movie version I like is the Keira Knightly version:
I thought I might list a few of my favorite books to movies in no particular order:
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper - although this movie is not very true to the book, I really enjoyed this movie.
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - I love this book, and I love this movie. The movie leave a lot out, but it is so well-done, that it is a masterpiece in its own right.
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell - Once again, this is one of those movies that stands apart from its book. It is a classic on its own, even though it leaves a lot out that is in the book.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I was extremely excited about this movie. I am glad to see that it did not disappoint me!
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien - Really, I have to say that I am impressed with the entire Lord of the Rings movie versions, but I'll stick with this one for now, since it is the newest!
And finally, I love the Harry Potter movie/book series. I thought I'd pick the last one, since it impressed me the most. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling
Oh Melissa a lot of good choices! Gone with the Wind most definitely! Loved the book and loved the movie, you are correct "both classics!" I thought they did a great job with The Hunger Games also!
ReplyDeleteIt is too hard to just choose one! There are others that are really great too!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, you thought of a bunch! Last of the Mohicans was very well done on film. Great picks!
