Ranker: The Best 300+ Movies Based on Books - Page 4

"List of the best movies based on books voted on by cine-bibliophiles everywhere. Many movies are based on books but whenever a new movie based on a book comes out there is an endless amount of whining about how Hollywood isn't original and why can't they write their own stories? That's simple, it's because these amazing stories are already written and Hollywood has the means to bring them to life, and sometimes they do it better than even your imagination thought possible. (Then again, sometimes they simply can't do the original book justice or were later also adapted into TV shows to continue the story or do it better)."
