Favorite movies that are books

What is your favorite movie that is also a book you enjoy? So I typically prefer the book to the movie but I like both. A Scanner Darkly, Fight Club, and Phantoms are my top three. Jurrasic Park and Starship Troopers get honorable mentions because they are awesome.

If you put subtitles on it’s like every movie is a book.

I didn’t know The Princess Bride is a book!? Heck yeah. Looking for that now

I think Jim Gaffigan said ,”You know what I liked about the movie? No reading!”

which means the movie is about a book thats about a man reading a book :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
