I think that there so many movies that are based off of books, that people don't realize half the time that they were books first.

 

Anyways for my pick, it would have to be Goodfellas.

LotR: FotR! Great film, have the Special Extended Edition DVD!

 

(based on StormHammer's post - the one under this one)

Blade Runner? Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Not a bad one, either... Have it on DVD, the Director's Cut!

OK, I'm going to insert it and listen to the music at the end... Which is good, frankly...

 

Harry Potter 2 was also nothing bad...

 

And, of course, Star Wars, which was also written as a book of 9 episodes before the films.

Blade Runner...based on the book 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?' by Philip K. Dic.k

 

And the 50's film version of Day Of The Triffids was execrable tripe, IMHO. The series shown on Brit TV was marginally better...but it needs a far better (and more faithful) treatment for the big screen.

Bladerunner was excellent.

 

Sphere was a good crack.

 

JP books are FAR superior - DONT watch the films - read the books. More to them, beter in all aspects, plus

Hammond is eaten by end of Book 1!

 

Else - Interview w/ a Vampire - excellent!
