Re: Best book to film adaptations
Although as I'd had them so long when I was sorting out I did find a few 1980s / 1990s jazz mags in there.
Which was nice.

Nobody's mentioned Shakespeare movies............
Can't recall seeing any that were any good (although a film about Shakespeare, 'Shakespeare In Love' was very entertaining).

West Side Story? Don't really go for musicals, they're a bit gay...

Try Bran Nue Dae, the first Australian aboriginal musical - it's quite a good laugh. You too will be high kicking and shouting THERE'S NOTHING I WOULD RATHER BE, THAN TO BE AN ABORIGINE into the Dubai morning sky.

Quirky and good, I went into it not knowing it was originally a comic (or whatever the term is these days) and that certainly came through ... best film I've seen for a long time.
Kept my interest right to the end and that is rare these days
I've not seen Kick Ass yet, might give that a go next.

Deffo get Kick Ass. Great film.
Musicals are rubbish though, aren't they. Proper girlie material.
My step daughter insisted I watched Dream Girls with her. **** me, was that two and half hours of torture or what? It was about two hours and twenty minutes too long.
Agreed though, the only bearable one is Rocky Horror.

Re: Best book to film adaptations
