dandridgemonroe asked: You've prob been asked this before and sorry if you have but what are your fave books that have been adapted into movies and that you recommend reading
I have done this once before, but it has been a really long time. Very happy to do it again! In honor of the Broke and the Bookish, I’m going to do my top ten favorite movie adaptations of books! Let me know what yours are as well- always love looking for more!
Instead of linking to the book’s Goodreads page, the titles below will take you to the movie trailer on YouTube!
1. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk- love the book and love the movie! I thought they did a great job of keeping it true to the original work!
2. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling- Childhood favorite- still love binge watching them!
3. Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tokien- Books are a classic but I loveeed these gorgeous movies!
4. The Shining by Stephen King- One of those times where the movie is completely different from the book BUT equally are wonderful to read/watch!
5. Holes by Louis Sachar -I recently taught this book and was reminded how much of a classic it was. I remember thinking they did a good job with the movie as well!
6. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë- I actually haven’t seen the new one, only the old, but I loved seeing this book put on screen! It’s one of my favorites from it’s time period.
7. The Princess Bride by William Goldman- Loved this movie so much! The book is great as well!
8. The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum- Great series and I really enjoyed the movie adaptations as well.
9. The Help by Kathryn Stockett- Love!
10. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn- My only super recent one. I thought they did a great job of translating this for on the screen!
So what did you think? What are your favorites? Thank you dandridgemonroe for the question! I hope this list helps you!
