Do you mean books that have been made into movies?

If so the answer is yes, and they were all horrible. Except V for Vendetta, I actually prefer the movie to the book.

I enjoyed the cinematic version of To Kill A Mockingbird (not more than the book), but like Target said, most film adaptations suck. (I highly dread the film versions of World War Z and Fahrenheit 451. They actually considered Tom Hanks to the play the role of Guy Montag? WTF?! That's like casting Kevin Nealon as a serial killer in a horror film.)

By the way, what the hell is with the offbeat title?

The Thief Lord.
Tuckeverlasting.
Twilight. (Probally the whole series.)
The Never Ending story.
Lord of the Rings. (All three of them.)

They need to make a movie of The Thief of Always, 'tis a good Clive Barker book that I think would make an epic movie.

The Lord of the Flies first film adaption is horrible. maybe not horrible, but the book is one of my favorites, and i don't think any adaption can do justice to a book i hold so high. whenever i read it now, i have these rediculous british voices in my head from the movie.

I've been going crazy recently. I've been wanting to see my favorite series made into a movie series. I've even been keeping an eye out for likely cast members.

I think there thinking about making a Ranger's Apprentice movie sometime this following year. I'm flipping out over it, I've read all the books in the series like three times.

I thought the Harry Potter ones were pretty good.....
Wathcmen was a good adaption (though technically it was a 'comic book')
Oh and the Lightning Theif BETTER BE GOOD
