Hi: My favorite book/movie is Gone With The Wind. I have read it several times in all formats, back in the days when it was 13 braille volumes, (I believe it's 9 now). I read it on record with House Jameson reading it and thought he was excellent. The last time I read it on tape it was read by Mizzi Freedlander and while I like her reading in some books I kept thinking of House Jameson reading it.
As for the mmovie, I have it on Vhs, both regular and descriptive and just recently bought it on Dvs. I like to watch the movie alone unless I'm watching it with someone who truly appreciates it.

I tried reading that book a few years ago, but I couldn't get through. I thought Scarlett OHara complained to much, and I was going for a summer reading record at my school that year and the book was slowing me down. (I got the record by the way.) I like the movie too. Have you ever read the sequel? I found it more fun.

Lord of the Rings for both the book trilogy and the movie trilogy. J.R.R. Tolkien is just so indescribable when it comes to how to rate his writings. Peter Jackson did an excellent job adapting the books to the movies. I wish it was an ongoing series so there could be more movies made. Perhaps someone like Mr. Jackson will pick up on Tolkien's other writings someday. Kate

Hi: I read the sequel to Gone With The Wind and hated it. As a rule I'm not a fan of abridged books but in that case I should have just stuck with the abridged instead of plowing through that whole boring book, lol. I onlyy watched the first five minutes of the movie and turned it off. I agree that Scarlett was a whiner, but considering the times she lived in she was a spoiled pampered Southern beele and did have to grow up, smile.

I think my two favorite books are The Grapes of Wrath and Love in the Time of Cholera. I actually just watched Gone With The Wind again over the holidays, and thought it was a lot of fun, though it's over the top at times (whenever sickeningly sweet Melanie is on the screen :-)). I liked Scarlett's bitchiness, especially since the movie quite obviously poked fun at it.

I am a fan of Gone With the Wind. I think it is a really good book.

I am a huge Harry Potter fan and a huge Lord Of The Rings fan. All the films are fantastic and I have all of them on video and DVD.

For good books that've been made into good movies, Pride and Prejudice, but the Ehle and Firth mini-series version, natch. And the Shipping News. The book and movie are both really different, but both wonderful. Otherwise, favourite book would probably still be the Education of Little Tree, by Forest Carter, and favourite movie would be Paradise Roads.

## Post 11 by Perestroika (Her Swissness) on Monday, 13-Mar-2006 7:01:27

Hmmmm, I have so many favourite books, but my top two are Brave New World, by Aldus Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell. as for moovies, nothing beats Dead Man Walking for me...i still cry when i see it, even though i've seen it over 15 times. come to think of it, it was a damn good book too.

## Post 12 by cuddle_kitten84 (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 13-Mar-2006 12:47:13

ooo all of the harry potter films, emma watson, rupert grint and danielle radcliff are such good actors in the harry potter ones, and i also love lord of the rings, amazingness for me.

## Post 13 by bozmagic (The rottie's your best friend if you want him/her to be, lol.) on Wednesday, 15-Mar-2006 10:07:03

I love both Harry Potter and The Lord Of The Rings film trilogy.

## Post 14 by guitargod1 (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Wednesday, 15-Mar-2006 16:34:25

I'd have to agree with the harry potter and lord of the rings comments. The books and the films were/are both very good in my opinion. The Shining was also a very good book/movie.

My favorite book/movies are Willy Wonka/Charlie and The chocolate Factory (not sure which one it is). I like the old Chocolate Factory movie one though, haven't seen the new version). I also like The grinch That Stole Christmas (the book, cartoon, and movie versions), and The Indian in the Cupboard.

## Post 17 by Classicrock (Generic Zoner) on Monday, 24-Apr-2006 22:43:14

My fave books are The Gift by Danielle Steel and The Giver by Lois Lowry.

## Post 18 by ellectra (Veteran Zoner) on Friday, 28-Apr-2006 11:39:59

Star Wars. :-D

## Post 19 by blbobby (Ooo you're gona like this!) on Friday, 28-Apr-2006 12:27:44

When I started reading this topic I was going to say "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein, but, I was a hippy in the sixties and that was mandatory reading.
But, thinking of it: I think my favorite movie is "Stand by Me" and book (well, part of a book) would be "The Body" from "Different Seasons" by Steven King. For those who do not know, "Stand by me" was taken from "The Body".
Gosh, I think I'm jabbering!

Fever Pitch, but the english version!

## Post 21 by changedheart421 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Thursday, 01-Jun-2006 15:30:40

my favorite book/movie would be Once In A Lifetime. It was a book written by Danielle Steel but turned in to a Lifetime movie.

## Post 22 by Pure love (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Friday, 02-Jun-2006 4:12:49

Okay. Gone with the wind is too sad for me. Lol my favourite book is call "I Kim, who you" by Frank W. Chinnock. My favourite movie is ... oh gosh I have so many. Safe the last dance, Honey, 8 mile, Bend it like Beckham, my big fat greek wedding ... and many more. Lol

## Post 23 by Pure love (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Friday, 02-Jun-2006 4:13:30

Oh and how could I forget Love actually and about a boy. Hugh Grand is ... cute, in my opinion. Cute voice.

I generally like to read books that are either made into movies or are based on movies. I like the movies, but I much prefer the books because the books have tons more detail, and I can imagine better than the movies portray. I believe that while the Harry Potter movies are good, they don't do justice to the wonder of the books. When I see one of those movies, I just see so much chopped out. But someone told me that if they put all the stuff in the book in the movie, the movie would be like 9 hours long. They should make a Harry Potter TV show. That way they can fit all of one book into one season.

## Post 25 by Esme Cullen (Generic Zoner) on Wednesday, 23-Aug-2006 19:49:31

My favorite book is the Left behind Series by tim Lahey and Jerry Be Jankins. I love the entire serries. I also love the Hary Potter serries. I like the Harry Potter movies but Left behind I like the dramatic audio a lot better than the movies they have out for the serries

## Post 26 by Harp (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Wednesday, 23-Aug-2006 21:25:11

No chance could I ever in a million years narrow this down to one book! lol. Two that particularly stand out for me are (To kill a mocking Bird) and, as somebody else mentioned earlier, (Lord of the flies)
But really I couldn't even pick one author never mind one book. To name a few fave author's though. Clive Cussler, Patricia Cornwell, Tami Hoag of late, just gotten into her stuff. Lee Child, Alastair McLean, the list goes on.
So far as movies go I'm really not a fan of them full stop though I did enjoy Airplane when I was younger and it still makes me smile and for something a bit more modern any of the American pie movies or Road trip.
Thanks. Dan.

My favorite book is Atlas Shrugged, but has never been a movie. I hope it will though. My favorite movie, and I also like the book, is the Fountainhead.
I really like Gary Cooper as Howard Roark and Patricia Neal as Dominique Francon. Good script written by Rand, it’s almost as good as the book and King Vidor did well in directing it.

## Post 28 by Nitara (Veteran Zoner) on Friday, 23-Jan-2009 22:15:22

I don't like it when books I read are made into movies. The movies very rarely do the book justice. That being said, I think the only movie versions of books I truly like are The Shining and Pet Sematary.

## Post 29 by metal angel (Help me, I'm stuck to my chair!) on Saturday, 24-Jan-2009 0:37:36

Never saw the Shining, saw pet Semetary and thought it was ok. Couldn't get in to the book, but loved Carrie and Christeen! (Both books and movies)
Other books/movies I love are the HP ones, Twilight, (Saw it twice), Silence of the Lambs, Hannible, Red Dragon though it could have had more action in the movie, and hannible rising! Also Interview with the vampire and Queen of the damned!
And, All the resident evil movies!

I like white oleander by janet fitch that is an awesome book and so is the lovely bones by alice seabold

## Post 31 by Shadow_Cat (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Monday, 26-Jan-2009 1:55:29

Wow, did someone make the Giver into a movie? I never knew. I'd be interested to see that.
I rarely like the movies that are made from books either, because they completely distort the book, when there's no need to. Anyway, Lonesome Dove is a good movie, though I'm usually not into that genre. Also the LOTR movies, the Green Mile, The Bone Collector, Little Women, and I'm sure there are others I'm missing.

## Post 32 by Nitara (Veteran Zoner) on Tuesday, 27-Jan-2009 19:59:52

I will have to agree with you about the lotr movies. They left some things out, but they did a fantastic job over all. I was quite surprised. You could tell that everyone who was involved with making the movies wanted to do the best job possible.

## Post 33 by Shadow_Cat (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Wednesday, 28-Jan-2009 5:07:47

Well, in the case of LOTR, they had to leave some things out. There's no way they could pack everything from the books into those movies. But they still did a darn good job with them.

## Post 34 by metal angel (Help me, I'm stuck to my chair!) on Friday, 30-Jan-2009 16:03:53

Amen to that! *Wishes Newmoon was out already!

## Post 35 by Ginny Weasley (Veteran Zoner) on Monday, 02-Feb-2009 16:00:59

The Lovely Bones is a good book. I like the movie It. I never read the book but i want to though. The movie is pretty good.
