The movie should be an adaptation of a book that you have read. I'm not gonna be original. I don't read a lot. The Godfather (better than the book, the book is good) The Lord of the Rings (worse than the book, the book is good) The Shawshank Redemption (better than the book, the book is garbage) --------------- Read the book not seen the film: Sous le soleil de satan (read the book, not seen the film) Masterpiece Da Vinci Code (read the book, not seen the film) Average Of Mice and Men (read the book, not seen the film) Trash

Since The Fellowship was already picked, I'll go with The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) plus The Martian (2015) (adapted from "The Martian" by Andy Weir)

@Jessica would you like to add The Fellowship as your pick since cinephile opted out of it or I can merge all 3 in a single pick if you like?

Out of the books I have read my picks are: Jurassic Park (I preffer the film) The Man Who Would Be King (The film and the book are both equally good) El sur (the film left me intrigued with an open ending, the book disappointed me with a close to the story that was not at all what I imagined) Honorable mentions: The Last of the Mohicans Casino Royale
