Besides SK movie adaptations, what are some of your favorite and least favorite movie adaptations of books that you've read?
It depends for me. If it's a book that I really like, I can be critical. Sometimes, I do admire of different directions or takes of adaptations, but only if it works.
My least favorite: any The Great Gatsby adaptation. I wasn't much of a fan of Robert Redford's. There was a TV movie that came out with Paul Rudd as Nick Carraway and that was ok. Toby Stephens made a really good Gastby, though. And...I did NOT like Baz Lurhmann's The Great Gatsby. Not that it's a bad movie, necessarily...I guess I was disappointed with it. I thought Carey Mulligan did a really great job as Daisy, though.
My favorites:
Harry Potter series
Lord of the Rings trilogy
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Godfather
Have to add The Fault in Our Stars, too.
