MOVIE MADNESS: The Votes Are In!


Thank you all so much for participating in MOVIE MADNESS MARCH!  What a great month it has been, and I cannot thank you all enough for contributing, commenting, and spreading the love!  Today marks the final day of our month of movies, and with that comes the votes for the best and worst book to movie adaptations according to our readers.

I was quite surprised with the responses on this survey!  I thought that we would have a lot more duplicates that we did, but sadly we did not.  There were a couple of responses that were repeats, but for the most part, I only have a simple list of movies for you.  Without further ado, let's take a look at the results.  Those marked with an asterik are the duplicates that I have mentioned.

FAVORITE BOOK-TO-MOVIE ADAPTATIONS

Hunger Games 
Lord of the Rings*

Shawshank Redemption
 The Dead (a short story by James Joyce)

    I enjoyed reading the The Dead despite not being a Joyce fan, you have me curious to see the film. I think both a Room With a View and Howards End need to be on this list. Babette's Feast is a brilliant film but I don't know how true it is to Karen Blixen's novella. And if I can be so bold as to nominate a play, Six Degrees of Separation is a wonderful, wonderful film.

      hogglestock.com ... Do you mean the Six Degrees of Separation starring a very young Will Smith?? I saw that movie ages ago and it was a good one!

    Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the Vampires Lord on his Email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
