If there's major changes from the source material that you like, say why. If you like that it's very faithful and keeps large sections of dialogue or the characters are exactly as you imagined them when you were reading, it would be good to read that he has well. It would be interesting if there's some disagreement and the potential for a debate. I mentioned the Kubrick version of The Shining, something which will probably be on my list, but I like the way Kubrick and Johnson stripped out the core of King's book and turned it into something extremely claustrophobic and open to interpretation so different viewings mean different things and, as the documentary Room 237 showed, people will interpret it in many different ways. In that respect, and this is just my opinion, the film is arguably more interesting than the book.

Horror movies based on literature was the first subject i came up with when i took over this thread in page 38. Seeing as this includes tv adaptations. Well you recall those Ghost Stories for Christmas based on MR James stories? That's my top 10 right there with the Hallmark 2004 mini series of Frankenstein starring Luke Goss, thrown in for good measure. |

It doesn't need to be horror and the source material could be comic books or graphic novels I suppose. I thought it would be interesting to have a broad range of lists and opinions about what people like in an adaptation of a literary source.

I don't think we've done poetry and I did say poems were eligible, so if someone wants to put the case forward for The Raven (1963), Jabberwocky (1977) or O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), I think that's okay as well.

I haven't read The Living and the Dead (the novel on which Vertigo is based). Is it quite accessible?
