This is a weekly feature by The Broke and the Bookish. I have come across some really excellent book bloggers by participating in this feature, which is why it’s one of my favorites. This week’s topic is:
Top Ten Best/Worst Book to Movie Adaptations
Although there have been quite a few adaptations that didn’t work for me, I decided it would be more fun to focus on my favorite ones this week.
-
- The Lord of the Rings
-
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine
-
- Treasure Planet
-
- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
-
- The Hobbit
-
- How to Train Your Dragon
-
- The Hunger Games
-
- The Vampire Diaries
-
- Twilight
-
- The Man in the Iron Mask
For me, the Lord of the Rings was not only the best book to movie adaptation, it was the best movie ever. It’s my all-time favorite, and nothing has come close since… except for maybe The Hobbit.
Yes, Twilight is on my list. I liked everything but Robert Pattinson. Get off my case.
The book “On Stranger Tides” actually follows the third movie the closest as far as story is concerned, but I liked the latest one better, so it counts.
I realize Vampire Diaries is a television show, but it happens to be my favorite so I hope you’ll let it slide.
There you have it! What movies ended up on your list?
The Obsessive Bookseller 
The Hobbit. Of course. WHat was I thinking not placing it on my list? Please visit my blog, I am doing a Blogoversary giveaway. Anne@Head Full of Books
