Great Books That Have Great Movie Adaptations - Page 2

These are books that are the source of at least one acclaimed movie (according to IMDb). So people who enjoy book-movie combinations might find this list useful.
From my viewpoint, this is a list of the books behind some classic movies that I wish to (re)watch. Whether I (re)read the book before watching the movie is unpredictable.
Quiz: In almost all cases the names of the associated quality movies are obvious. But what about 'Carmen'? Or 'Inside Hitler's Bunker'?
