The Harry Potter movies are the best movies I've seen & they are from my favorite books.
Have to say Twilight!
Jurassic Park!

I would have to say two older books and movies, To Kill a Mockingbird and Gone With the Wind.
It has to be the Lord of the Rings trilogy :)
Hunger Games.. but the Chronicles of Narnia is a close second.. or maybe it should be first
My pick is The Notebook.
Great acting and story.

Hi Lisa :) I really think that The Lord of the Rings trilogy was the best book-to-movie adaptation. I'm looking forward to seeing what Peter Jackson does with The Hobbit!
Thanks for the giveaway!
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is the best book-based movie that I've seen. It has just the right additions while keeping the plot intact and not adding other major plot points. Unfortunately, the other two were really terrible in those respects :(
Percy Jackson & The lightning Thief! :)
I thought "The Town" (directed by Ben Affleck) was better than the book, Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan. :)
Thank you for an awesome giveaway! :)

I love Of Mice and Men.
I have a deep, undying love for the movie adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird. It's timeless and still a quality movie, even today.
This is a hard one since the books are ALWAYS better than the movie. But Harry Potter was GREAT
I would have to say that the Princess Bride was a great adaptation of the book, though to be fair I loved the movie for many many years before I ever caught wind there was a book!
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is probably #1.
Hunger Games is also pretty good!
I loved all the Harry Potter movies. But I'd choose the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It looks really good.
Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper. I was not thrilled with the changed ending, but still a good movie made from an outstanding (my favorite) book.

I'd have to say Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. Both are brilliant!
My two favorite movies from books are -
Practical Magic
Message in a Bottle
I thought both were very well done!
Lord of the Rings!!
I loved Pride and Prejudice and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Twilight definitely.
I like The Lord of the Rings. julierupert@gmail.com
Harry Potter of course ;D but besides the Harry Potter movies I'd have to go with the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies. I loved them so much :)
Im going to say IT by stephen king
Thank you for the great giveaway:)

The Harry Potter series!
Easiest question ever! Harry Potter! <3
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Harry Potter. Seriously, I can't think of a better movie adaptation.
I would have to say Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings off the top of my head.
I thought the book to movie adaption of The Help was really good
!
The Shawshank Redemption from Stephen King.
Personally, I'm with you. The movie is usually never as good as the book. I feel it's basically because when I read, I have my own thoughts and interpretations as to how I think the book should be and then when I see it on film it doesn't match up to my imagination. And believe me, I have a vivid/exact imagination. For instance, the Twilight Saga was ruined when made into film...but the Hunger Games was pretty close to how I pictured things...except of course they had to leave out some things I thought should have been portrayed. This is a great question! Thank you. wendyrailey@yahoo.com
The Hunger Games by far! I also loved Twilight.
My favorite is probably LOTR. Love those movies!
The Hunger Games :)
My fave is Harry Potter or Lord of The Rings.
LORD OF THE MOVIES was incredible to read & on the screen I was blown away.
I think the Harry Potter movies were amazing. Sure, they had some errors, but I'd much rather have them than no movie at all. They really brought the magic to life.
I think the movie version of Stephen King's Green Mile was absolutely amazing. The books (released as a series) were favorites, but the movie awed me.
Lord of the Rings followed closely by Pride and Prejudice
Harry Potter books.
Best Book to Movie: Schindler's List
I loved The Time Traveler's Wife, I Am Number Four, Hunger Games, and Harry Potter. THANKS!
I would have to say Gone With the Wind :).
I loved the Harry Potter movies!
Movie Twilight and Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief was my favorite :)
I agree~ I'm always more satisfied with the book than the movie! I can't think of an example of when the movie is best!!! But~ I did enjoy the Lord of the Rings trilogy. :)
Gone with the wind
I think the first Harry Potter movie did a great job of capturing the wonder and world-creating of the book.
I absolutely loved The Princess Bride. It was perfect!
The best movie I have seen that was made from a book is Gone With The Wind.

BEST book to movie translation? Hmm...for sticking to the original I'd have to say, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the one with Jonny Depp. Believe it or not (if you haven't read it), it's MUCH closer to the text than the Willy Wonka version!
I love the Harry Potter movies and Pride and Prejudice.
To Kill A Mockingbird
I would have to say To Kill a Mockingbird and/or the Harry Potter movies.
I love the Harry Potter movies, carawling(at)hotmail(dot)com
The best book to movie adaptation in my opinion is The Kite Runner and the Harry Potter series, of course!
Thanks for the giveaway :)
The best movie(s) I've seen from favorite books:
. The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
. The Bridges of Madison County
I thought the Hunger Games was done well.
LORD OF THE RINGS!
Yeah, I'm the first ;0)
Jurassic Park is what I'd say.
The Notebook.
I loved Pride and Prejudice ..

Some of my other favorite adaptations have been Water for Elephants, Pride and Prejudice, Adaptation, and Confessions of a Shopaholic.
The Lord of the Rings definitely :) (Particularly The Fellowship of the Ring)
