Here is a cool link that keeps with the “blog” nature of our site. Jason Kottke, master of all that is blog, has posted a list of the “50 Best Book to Film Adaptations” ever. It is his adaptation of a list written by Mark Brown of The Guardian. Here is a small snippet of the list, if you would like to see the rest click on the link above and see for yourself:

1. [BM] 1984
2. [BM] Alice in Wonderland
3. [M] American Psycho
4. Breakfast at Tiffany’s
5. Brighton Rock
6. Catch 22
7. [BM] Charlie & the Chocolate Factory
8. [M] A Clockwork Orange
9. [BM] Close Range (inc Brokeback Mountain)
10. The Day of the Triffids

This raises an interesting and eternal question for all movie fans: What is your favorite Book to Film Adaptation? Or maybe, what is your Top 5? My personal list would look something like this:

1. Jurassic Park
2. Lord of the Rings (any of the 3)
3. The Godfather
4. The Princess Bride
5. The Wizard of Oz

What does your list look like?
