I am one of those people who tends to read a book before I watch a film adaptation...thought it might be fun to share my all time top 5 Books into Movies...
Number 5 – The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
Such a romantic story than spans a lifetime
of love and devotion – cannot watch this movie without crying. It’s a story
that will touch even the most jaded of hearts. A love we all hope for…
Number 4 – Bridget Jones’ Diary by Helen
Fielding
One of the movies that I actually love more
than the book. Just brilliant. Never fails to cheer me up if I’m feeling glum.
The casting of Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant is genius, but the
support cast are equally as fantastic. A movie that shows British humor at its
best. Superb!
Number 3 – Gone With The Wind by Margaret
Mitchell
My favorite book of all-time and the movie
entirely does it justice. At almost four hours long, it’s epic, but so worth
escaping to watch for the afternoon or evening. I truly believe another movie
of this magnitude will never be made again.
Number 2 – The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Where do I start? Such a grueling, difficult
rollercoaster of emotions, issues and themes covered in this wonderful book and
movie. I cried reading the book, but even more so with the movie. Steven Spielberg
is a genius and his art is truly showcased in this wonderful movie.
Number 1 - Forrest Gump by Winston Groom
One of my favorite movies of all-time –
just wonderful. Tom Hanks truly deserved his second Academy Award for the
starring role, and Sally Field and Gary Sinise are magnificent in their
supporting roles too. Just an amazing, life affirming story…
What are you favourites??
