Movie Versions of Books

This group is about all the movies that have been made from books. Were they true to the spirit of the novel? And what about books adapted from movies? Would you watch a movie based on a book you loved or avoid it?

My cousin insisted on seeing the Narnian movie(THE LION, THE WITCH & THE WARDROBE). I think though it was altered it wasn't that bad! What do you all think?

For me, Clueless is the best rendering of Jane Austen's Emma on film. Usually, I don't like time shifts, but it worked....

Seriously, if you've seen the movie but not read the book, would you add it to your shelf?

The book was fabulous; the movie was just as good....
