What's your favorite book to movie adaptation? Was it true to the original?

Lord of the Rings, for me. So well done. Seems like its very difficult to do well, though.

This Dark Tower adaptation looks like a stinker. What a shame it's a fantastic series.

the first shining from kubrick. it was very far from the book and improved in many ways.

SW-User

@SW-User oh.. also 'the mist'... the one with the very terrible ending.

@SW-User I love Kubrick but that movie gave me nightmares in childhood haha. Did you see the documentary about that movie, Room 237, or some such. His attention to detail was amazing

SW-User

@DanielChristensen yeah, I try to point everyone to that. the attention and the subtle things going on.

@SW-User I'm watching The Mist tv show. Okay so far

SW-User

@DanielChristensen yeah, me too. I don't love it... I really hate the short format.
