Susie wrote: "As always for me, Peter Falk as COLUMBO."

haha- even if there are no Columbo books- Peter Falk is NUMBER ONE for me too!!!
best casting ever!!! love his "battles" with Jack Cassidy and Patrick McGoohan!!

So many GREAT books by our members!!

let's support each other and root for each other!

Books written specifically to become films- ala the new Jason Bourne books- I cannot recall any Ludlum book - brilliant as they are- being filmed in his lifetime- yet some 10 years after his death- not only is there a new cottage industry of "Robert Ludlum*" books written by others- but several have been filmed- I truly wonder if Ludlum was against turning his books into films as many writers are- yet being dead for a decade- his estate feels..um..differently- just a thought

LOVE Pickwick Papers!!
That was Dickens' first novel right?

now you should watch the re-mastered DVD of the classic 1930 Film adaption with Lew Ayres and Louis Wolheim- unforgetable!!!

Howard wrote: "Rick, J. Edgar was a fine film, despite being panned.

The best part belonged to Judi, Judi, Judi Dench."

YES! I felt it was- next to John Carter- The best film of 2011-12

haha! true- just wish the copy I had was annotated- would help alot- what does "muckle" mean? used in almost every sentence!!

Howard wrote: "DiCaprio has been very good in certain roles but has fallen short in others, mostly due to miscasting in my opinion & I think Cameron's 'Titanic,' as most of his movies are, was cast badly in general."

I felt J. Edgar was one of the finest films in recent years- superb acting

Will Patton is a superb character actor in films!
