Redbook's 40 Popular Movies You Didn't Know Were Based on Books (From Cosmo)

"You know how there's always that one friend who's like, 'Well, the book was *way* better than the movie. Have you not read it yet?' Yeah, we all have 'em! And they probably mean well, but it's still annoying! So here's a handy list of fan-favorite movies that were actually based on books for you to memorize before the next time you hang out with that know-it-all cultured friend of yours. Gonna go out on a limb here and say that most people probably don't know that these movies have literary origins because the film versions are just as good, if not—in some cases at least—better!" - redbookmag.com
