I'm not always a huge fan of books being made into movies. Sure it's awesome to see your favorite fictional characters brought to life on the big screen, but for sometimes it can also a bit cringe worthy, because for the most part it's impossible for movies to bring to life everything I love about a book. I feel like the movie rarely does the book justice, but there's been a few movies who have exceeded all my expectations and have done the book justice. Here are a few of my personal favorite classic movie adaptations. In no order:
1. Gone With The Wind- Oh the chemistry these two have seriously comes to life perfectly in this movie. Everything about this movie brought the book to life beautifully.
2. Pride & Prejudice- (the vision w/ Colin Firth)- This is one of my all time favorite movie adaptations. This scene makes me laugh every time I see it (enjoy Sophie! *snickers).
3. The Princess Bride- this is one of my all time favorite movies. I thought the movie did the book justice in bringing to life everything I enjoyed about the book.
Hopefully I'll be adding The Mortal Instruments movie to my list of favorite movie adaptations next year *crosses fingers* What are some of your favorite movie adaptations?
Oh I hope you are right about The Mortal Instruments too! And now that I have seen the Lovely Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy I do believe I will be swooning for the rest of the day~
ReplyDeleteLOL! Mr Darcy has that effect on people :)
DeleteI really hope I'm right about the TMI movie too! I'm so anxious to see it.
Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth was absolutely brilliant and so true to the book. I wasn't as fond of the Keira Knightly version. And the original Masterpiece Theatre from the 80s is horrid, but some people really love that one.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. P&P with Colin Firth was brilliant! That was the most true to the book movie version. I love it.
DeleteThe Princess Bride is definitely my #1 movie ever. I also really like the adaptation of Chocolat by Joanne Harris.
