    Films Based on Literature

    What is your best film based on literature?

    Mine is "War and Peace" directed by Sergei Bondarchuk.

    I think mine would be "Great Expectations", 1946, directed by David Lean

    There are so many! A favourite is The Idiot directed by Akira Kurosawa.

    like danik said, there are so many.

    the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe is in my all time favorite movie list, so id have to go with that one.

    but then, so is the princess bride so maybe its a tie.

    and i'll put in another plug for a movie I recently posted about on another thread, I loved pride and prejudice and zombies.

    and if you like that sort of thing, well then Abraham Lincoln, vampire hunter is worth watching too.

    I was thinking of finding a war and peace movie to watch free, since i read the book last year, so maybe i'll see about that one, but I found the book pretty tedious and aggravatingly disjointed, so im not in a hurry to do that.

    I still have gone with the wind to watch!
