Gone Girl was really really good, obviously the Lord of the Rings, V for Vendetta, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the David Fincher one), and the Dune miniseries by Syfy was surprisingly good. However, Ender's Game the movie was horrible. I hated it. It is just about my favorite book of all time and they RUINED it! How is it possible that you cast Bonzo as someone SMALLER than Ender? It doesn't make any sense and I hate it. Someday I will rectify that situation. Somehow.

I thought Catching Fire was the best book adaptation I've seen, it was so well done!
I didn't have one, but now I recently realized it's How I Live Now (book by Meg Rosoff) best movie ever I swear
I thought they did a good job with the Twilight movies, considering how massive and involved the books were. I also thought the Hunger Games movies have been better than the books. I liked the movie of Austenland better than the book as well.
They did a great job on tfios. I loved how they made every scene of the book, and only took out 2, which they put as deleted scenes.
Hunger Games and The fault in our stars! <3
Harry PotterCatching Fire
The Maze Runner
Harry PotterCatching Fire
The Maze Runner
"Hunger Games," "Catching Fire," "Fault in Our Stars."
The hunger games, they did such an amazing job usually i'm disappointed when my favourite books are made into films but not this one!Also the maze runner, there are some parts that i don't like but overall i think it was good!
Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars!
Harry potter...I suppose. Although I could have been very happy with a better goblet of fire sxene, peeves, and some other little tidbits...
Hard choice. Either Divergent, Hunger games or Harry Potter
fight club, the princess bride, harry potter, lotr, silence of the lambs, the shining, a clockwork orange, the talented mr ripley(purple noon is amazing too)
It has to be The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I loved the book and the film was surprisingly similar, having been directed by the author, Stephen Chboski
I really have to say Harry Potter and the Sorcceror's Stone!
LOTR (i grew up with them)Hobbits
Princess diaries
Tfios and paper town
The traveler's wife (the book and the movie are just a tear jerker to me)
Hunger games trilogy ( i didnt read the book but the movie is GREAT)
Confession of a Shopaholic
The notebook
The Lost valentine (great movie. Cry for as long as i could remember)
If i stay
#thats all i guess. More are coming.

Paper towns was a really good films
Yes. I totally agree with you:))
Hunger games,Perks of being a wallflower,Harry Potter Series and Twilight
I really loved the movie Insurgent and in fact I didn't really like the book.
The Hobbit, Carrie, Hunger Games, and hoping the 5th wave will be just as good as the book!
the last song , i think the movie was made first and then the book . im not sure but i liked both
Of course I loved Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies, but I also loved Divergent. I personally think that Divergent was very well made and the soundtrack was beautiful. Huge potential. But Insurgent and Allegiant... let's not talk about that. Also, The Hunger Games movies were very well done I think. I even liked Twilight. Yes, the movies were cingeworthy at times, but anyway, I have a special place in my heart for Twilight, so I enjoyed the movies!
The hobbit / Lord of the rings and Harry Potter of course.
I love How to Train Your Dragon, although, only movie, not the book.
The Harry Potter series and Divergent and Insurgent.
Harry Potter and The Hunger Games (especially Catching Fire) were one of the best in my opinion.
Harry Potter definitely. I saw the movies before reading the books(not beginning after the last one came out but by I started reading them in around 2007-08 and by the time I had gotten to each book the movie already came out) so I wasn't really biased watching them and I'm still not. Like my favorite movie in the series is the third one, even though everyone says it's the worst but it's just always been my favorite haha
Really thought the 5th Wave movie was much better then the book
