I'll agree with Memoirs of a Geisha. I really didn't like the movie though. ![]() Ah, and Pride and Prejudice. ![]() |

Memoirs of a Geisha was really good. So was The DaVinci Code (IN MY OPINION). I can't think of any more that I really liked besides that one.

Memoirs of a geisha, Narnia was pretty decent, Lord of the rings, Holes, Eragon, yeeah. I'm not picky. But the books are usually better than the movies, but w/e. haha

^ Agreed about A Series of Unfortunate events. I was expecting much more from that one. Big dissapointment.

Fight Club!
Seriously, awesome movie... And to be honest, I do like the HP movies. They're fun, and that's pretty much what I want out of them... |

I think generally we can agree that books made into movies suck. I mean, there's only two ways it can turn out. Either the director tries to follow the book exactly, the like da vinci code, and the movie becomes just a boring revisualiation of the book, or the director takes their own license with the book, and people hate it.
there is the rare occasions in which these don't really hinder books; as when a book isn't really ingrained in popular culture, or is so engrained in popular culture that we as a populace won't mind either of these senarios. The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are pretty good examples. so i get the feeling this is becoming more of a "pick which movie you like that also used to be a book", rather than anything truely dealing with books. that being said, i truly enjoyed fight club. however; i cannot speak for how any book has been rendered into a movie; i don't know of any truly exemplary case. that's not to say one doesn't exist, just that it's probably unlikely. |

I Wasn't too keen on the Da Vinci code.
I think there were far too many changes to the book. The book was a LOT better. |

The new Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite movies
![]() All of the Disney classics are good. They're based off of very old stories, like the Grimms Brother's tales. |

I really enjoy the Harry Potter movies.
The worst move ever, though, was Eragon. Eeeeeewwwwww |

for all those who said eragon was gd im sorry i have 2 disagree! it was dire compared 2 the book!!!!
but then gain we all have opions!! i much love the books compared 2 movies most of the time because there is so much u can do with a book but hardly anything wid a film! i found harry potter good first two but then its starting to become 2 much cut and alot shorter versions of the films!! the new pirates of the carrabean was 2 mins longer than the nu harry potter comin out!! the new harry potter should b at least half hour longer i feel!! but then i still ave 2 see it |
