So, the I Am Legend thread got me wondering.
My personal faves:
- Little Women
- DC comics
- A Clockwork Orange

...
Hmm...let's see..
Faves: Gone With the Wind, Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice (The BBC version, not that horrid version with Kiera Knightley), Interview with the Vampire, Romeo & Juliet (1968 version), The Crow, Harry Potter 1-3, Bridget Jones's Diary, Batman Begins, Wuthering Heights (w/Laurence Olivier), Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet (w/Mel Gibson, but also like the Ethan Hawke version), Stand By Me, Carrie, The Shining, Othello (w/Laurence Fishburne), White Oleander, Jaws, The Outsiders, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
Can only think of a few baddies at the moment: Queen of the Damned, Mommie Dearest (but it's still a guilty pleasure), and The Da Vinci Code. There are tons more...but since they're bad...kinda forgettable.
omg, the hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy was a HORRIBLE adaptation.
's how i feel about it, anyway.
Totally agree with you, Wheels. Such a great book, too! There was a BBC version, but I've never seen it, so I don't know if it's any better.
