I’m not claiming all their adaptations are wonderful, but the books are certainly great.
#Famous books turned into movies movie
There are certainly hundreds of other book to movie adaptations to choose from, but these are a good place to start. So here are 100 amazing books that have made it to the big or small screen (or in some cases, both.) These books that are also movies are old and new titles, including fiction, nonfiction, comics and kids’ books. But it is fun to watch books that are movies and see what has changed and what has stayed the same. And while some adaptations have actually been better than the books ( Jaws, Die Hard), it’s a rare adaptation that can beat the source material. Recently we’ve seen the screen debuts of such hits as Big Little Lies, The Handmaid’s Tale, and American Gods, and there are so many more books made into movies in the works.ĭespite the near-constant adaptation of books made into movies, “the book was better” seems like a popular refrain among readers. And there are a ton of books that are movies that now have successfully been adapted for film and television, going way back to the start of moving pictures. When the rights to a book sell, it doesn’t guarantee a book will appear on the screen, but it’s usually a good gamble for studios to grab them in case the book does well. It seems like every time a new book deal is announced lately, there’s almost always news of the screen rights also being sold.
