Top Ten Tuesday - Books That Made Great Movies

 

Happy Tuesday and welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's topic is TV Shows or Books that would make amazing movies. I'm going to flip it...books that made amazing movies. For us, bookish people the movie never quite lives up to the amazing book we read. For me, however, these books are spot-on with the book.

The Harry Potter series.

I loved this book. I think I read it twenty times or more. I read it to my girls when I was homeschooling them, and then the movie came out and we bawled all over again.

I haven't seen all of the movies from The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe but the ones I have seen have been spot on. 

Raise your hand, how many of you read this in your high school lit class?? ✋✋ Patrick Swayze was the perfect Darryl!!

I couldn't wait to see this movie and when I did it made me love the book and the story of Hosea even more.

I read this book during my Jr. year of high school and at the end of the semester, we watched the 1974 version with Robert Redford. Then I just liked it because it had Robert Redford in it, now I see how spot-on it was. 

I received a copy of this book from my fourth-grade teacher as a going-away gift when we moved from D.C. to Colorado. I'm not sure when I first saw the movie but even now it still brings back memories of a book embedded in my memories.

Can you think of any movies based on books that stayed true to the story you read? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
