oh my goodness Acting duck I was going to say Mystic River! THe book is excellent-truly and the film was not my bag at all baby.
Alot of people who hadn't read the book thought the film was v.good though.
I thought that Red Dragon was better as a book.
I haven't read War of the Worlds but I loved the film.
Charlie and the Chocolate factory film was good (Gene Wilder version) I've so many happy memories about watching it and drooling over the choclate river!!!
Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trio are brilliant books that apparently are to be made into film.
As I child I read and re-read the Narnia books and now The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is out as a film but I have seen it yet.
The Bone Collector by Jeffery Deaver was a good adaption but the book is better than the film.
