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.

The trilogy is collectively my favorite book and my favorite movie. Extended edition of course. :face_with_monocle:

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:

The Girl with all the Gifts. Watched that one and just found out it’s a couple books. Also Under the Skin is a weird one off. The director refused to read the book but took the synopsis and ran with it. Pretty cool

The Wizard of Oz
