Live Poll: IMDb Poll Board: Favorite Movie Adapted From Book

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

plus The Martian (2015) 

(adapted from "The Martian" by Andy Weir)

@Brijesh ,

For your consideration:

Pls, replace The Fellowhip of the Ring by Il gattopardo (1963). 

Your Name. (2016)

Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

Sideways (2004)

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
