It's okay. I just wanted to give some suggestions. I know The 5th Wave won't be out until next year, and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl was just filming last month downtown, so those can probably wait. The Queen of the Tearling won't be out for a while; there's just a lot of hype about it. Rainbow Rowell is waiting until she is less busy to start Eleanor and Park so that will probably be a while too.

Ok, thanks. I could have gotten them done last night, but it was so late, I'll get them done sometime this weekend.

Twilight
Warm Bodies
Beautiful Creatures

They are all up now! :)

I think all of the requested topics are up, does anyone have any suggestions.

Here are some relatively standard films-adapted-from-books:

To Kill a Mockingbird
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Lolita (Kubrick's, not the remake)
A Clockwork Orange
The Shining
Apocalypse Now (from Heart of Darkness)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (which is far more serious than the title implies)
The Lord of the Rings series
The Hobbit
The Godfather
My Fair Lady (from play by the same name which is from Shaw's Pygmalion)
Soylent Green (from Make Room Make Room - Harrison)
The Andromeda Strain
The Great Train Robbery
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Million Dollar Arm (brand new - May 2014 - with the book in galleys at the same time the film was in post-production)

Here's a not-so-standard one - Stanley Kubrick collaborated with Arthur C. Clarke for four years on:

2001: A Space Odyessy

Current book-to-TV:

Masters of Sex

Current comic/graphic-novel to TV:
The Walking Dead (this one has heavy involvement by the author)

Book to TV- True Blood

Thanks guys, someone will get right on them

Sorry that some of the request have not yet been filled, everyone has been super busy, so I have decided that anyone who requested a topic can make it. But please try to follow the formats of other ones, and put them in the right folder.

Could we start a topic where we can post movies we believe are better than their source material? AKA Movie > book.

Yep go ahead. Please try to follow preexisting things to help you, I am really paranoid about things like that
