Are you looking for recommendations for great books that were made into
movies? Or something more specific than that?

If yes to the first question, the book Gone With the Wind is 100x better
than the movie!

I'm afraid I deleted the original message on this topic, so I hope it's OK
to post my response to everybody. I thought of Dune by Frank Herbert; The
Martian Chronicles (TV movie, but available on video) by Ray Bradbury;
Something Wicked This Way Comes also by Bradbury; Andromeda Strain by
Michael Crichton; Jurassic Park by Crichton; Twenty Thousand Leagues under
the Sea by Jules Verne; The Time Machine by H.G. Wells; War of the Worlds by
H.G. Wells. These are the sci-fi books/films I can think of. There are a
bunch more. I hope this helps.

I have a lengthy list I did for a similar (very popular) display a year or
so ago, which I keep updated as new movies are announced. Unfortunately, it
is in a Microsoft Word table, which I tried to attach to an e-mail but it
bounced back. If you would like a copy, e-mail me directly and I can drop a
print-out in the mail. It, of course, only includes titles we have here at
Ridgefield, and I restricted it to fiction because it was easier that way
for me. But it should get you off to a good start.

Good luck -- I think you will find this gets a lot of positive feedback.

any great ideas. I am afraid that I am not a movie buff and so far I have
"the Horse Whisperer, Fried Green Tomatoes" and that's it. Thank you for all
your help

I just saw an ad for the new Roman Polanski film, The Ninth Gate, starring
Johnny Depp. It is a film version of The Club Dumas by Arturo
Perez-Reverte.
