message 1: by Barth (new)

Barth Not sure I agree with all of the books on the list (I thought To Kill a Mockingbird was a great film as well as a book). In this category, I would definitely add "Bonfire of the Vanities." I thought the book was far better than the movie.


message 2: by Bibiana (new)

Bibiana The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende is a great book which was ruined when it was made into movie. A better job was done with Like Water For Chocolate.


message 3: by Pedro (new)

Pedro No, "Jaime Escalante The Best Teacher in America?" it was adapted for the screen and called stand and deliver.
