Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments There are so many great movies that are based on books. Share what you love or hate about them.

OR

Sometimes a book just reminds me of a movie, even if they are completely unrelated. Ever happen to you?


message 2: by Greta (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments I'll start :)
I just read Just One Day (Just One Day, #1) by Gayle Forman and for some reason, it really reminded me of the classic Carey Grant movie, An Affair to Remember


message 3: by Sara (new)

Sara I like The Death And Life Of Charlie St. Cloud by Ben Sherwood ! And I liked the changes they made in the movie better than the book.
I also love the movies better for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, #2) by C.S. Lewis


message 4: by Sara (new)

Sara A book I love way more than the movie is A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks


message 5: by Greta (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments Did anyone see the movie Cloud Atlas? How was it? I know it's based on the book. Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell

Yes, I totally agree that the movie was better than the original the lion, the witch and the wardrobe... I first read the movie tie in version, and it has more adventure compare to the original version.


message 7: by Greta (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments I feel embarrassed to admit that I never read all the Narnia books. I did see the first movie, though.

I agree with you about The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, #2) by C.S. Lewis . I thought the book was kind of boring, but the movie was really good :)

Omg, you must read! lol. They're so good.

Oh, and I saw Cloud Atlas, to the person who was asking. It was...confusing. I want to read the book now though.

message 25: by Greta (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments I never even heard of Flipped...the book or the movie. I have to see if I can get it.

You should try it, it's really good. It's a middle grade book, the story is cute and innocent. You'll like Julie Baker.

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments Has anyone ever seen the movie Tuck Everlasting? I've seen the movie (which was good,) but I know it's based on a middle grade book Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt


message 28: by Erin (new)

Erin Latimer | 73 comments Tuck Everlasting made me cry! I hate movies that make me cry! lol. I'm a wimp...


message 29: by Sara (new)

hmmm... I like sad movies, i'll try to watch it this weekend. =D


message 32: by Greta (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments I didn't exactly find Tuck Everlasting sad, although there were sad parts, I found it more poignant.


message 33: by Greta (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments i have to sadly say that I am looking less forward to the movie Warm Bodies after having finished the book.

The movie looks really funny. Is the book meant to be funny?

It has been so long since I saw it I can't remember if I thought sad or something else. I just remember crying at one point.

message 40: by Jonababez (new)

Jonababez | 2453 comments Of course, I love The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1) by Suzanne Collins movie! I just watched today the DVD of it that my friend gave to me. :)

I've watched The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold movie but I haven't read the book, so I'm not sure if it was a good adaptation.


message 41: by Tayla (new)

Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 3057 comments I thought the lovely bones movie was HORRIBLE!


message 42: by Greta (last edited Jan 26, 2013 07:57PM) (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments I loved the book! Jona, it is a must read!
Never saw the movie.


message 43: by Mishma (new)

Mishma I agree with Tayla.The movie was horrible.I loved the book so much,but the movie ruined it.


message 44: by Jonababez (new)

Jonababez | 2453 comments It was an ok movie for me. :)


message 45: by Jonababez (new)

Jonababez | 2453 comments How about The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger movie? I've watched the movie and not read the book too. :)


message 46: by Mishma (new)

Mishma Well,the movie's different from the book.If you read the book,you can see it's so different.


message 47: by Novel (new)

Novel (velsanchez1) | 2886 comments I read the book (The Lovely Bones)but never bothered to watch the movie... I guess it was a wise decision then. haha


message 48: by Mishma (new)

Mishma It makes me sad when they ruin a good book when they make a movie.That's why I am hoping desperately that The Host will be great.


message 49: by Tayla (new)

Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 3057 comments The lovely bones book was so amazing. While watching the movie I was just like..... Are you kidding me. I love Stanley tucci and he was really good as mr. Harvey but the rest was just dumb
