Books to films?
How many of you enjoy watching a movie adapted from a book? If you do what movie do you think did the best job of staying true to the book.

I can't stand reading a book that I've watched the movie for, or visa versa. I always HATE whichever I encounter second because it never is the way it "should" be in my head. I actually have a rule against doing this now. That's why I can never read the Harry Potter books--my husband and sons like watching the movies, so if I read the books, I would stand a large chance of violating my rule.

I don't read to many books that have been movies . I guess kind of lazy on my part, I figure if I see the movie why read the book.

I dont mind it. I like to see the way that they are differ each other. Most if the time the book is a whole lot better.

I am the same as Indi, I will not see a movie that I have already read the book because it is never the same as in my head. the only exception I have ever made was the Chronicles of Narnia, but I read that series in elementary school so it did not bother me.

Sometimes in the movie they have to leave so much out.Like The Stand.Stephen King.They butchered that poor book.I def enjoy the books more.If I havent read the book it doesnt bother me to watch the movie.

most of the Harry Potter movies follow the books pretty good...some of the best books to movies I have ever seen the only exception was the 3 movie.
