'I' Read the Book Before Seeing the Movie or TV Production

Sometimes a movie is based on a book, and sometimes the book is a novelization of the movie. These are examples where I have read the book before I saw the movie. Books are listed first with the movie versions I've seen following. An exemption to this is found with the first Harry Potter story. I read the Philosopher's Stone version before seeing the movie, and read the 'Americanized' version The Sorcerer's Stone after seeing the movie and included it in that order. The story is the same but certain words are adjusted for localisation. Examples are: dustbin to garbage can, torch to flashlight, and oddly motorbike to motorcycle. I could be wrong, but I thought motorcycles were referred to as motorbikes in the US. Anyway, mark the ones you have read or seen.
