ovies based on books are big right now. As a quintessential bookworm, I love this trend, and hope to see it continue. Even when the on-screen story varies from the book I read, I still enjoy seeing someone else’s vision of the story brought to life. In fact, sometimes, I end up liking the movie better than its original book form.
BOOKS TO MOVIES
Which is better..the book or the movie? By: Rebecca Fleming
Here are a few of my favorite book-turned-movies: •
Anne of Green Gables
•
The Black Stallion Returns
•
The Chronicles of Narnia
•
Beastly
•
The Devil Wears Prada
Of course, the movies listed above are a small sample of books that have become movies, and do not include movies I loved but have not read the books for (Sahara, Hidalgo, and How to Train Your Dragon to name a few). There are so many more – from Nicholas Sparks novels to the Twilight saga to Star Wars (yes, there are books about our favorite intergalactic rebels!) to a multitude of movies you may not realize are also books. Who knows, maybe there has even been a movie made of your favorite book – or your favorite movie could have been a book first. Investigate, experiment, and see which you prefer: book or movie?
