Have you ever read a book and thought that it would be a great movie? List some books that you think will be a great movie...

The Truth About Forever By: Sarah Dessen I love this book and when ever I read it I would picture it in my head as a movie.
The Outsiders By:SE Hinton Yes, I know that this already became a movie. But I would love to see or make a modern version of it. I thought of this because I hated the movie because of all the parts it was missing.

Oh my gosh, totally. I love this book so much. Read it 6 times.

Another was Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli (I think). I <3 that book.

You rock. Whenever I tell my friends I really like the book Stargirl, they always say to me, "Isn't that a kid's book? I read it a long time ago!" I think it would be an interesting movie, but I can't help but think that if it was, the character Leo would be ruined by some Hollywood pretty boy who is actually 10 years older than the actual character.
