Stacker's 100 Best Movies Based on Books - Page 2

"...Hollywood has been adapting prose & other source materials for more than a century. There are only so many original screenplay ideas out there, no small percentage of which are likewise based on previous ideas & formulas. Without exceptional books there would be far fewer impressive films. Talented directors deliver their own takes, often to the chagrin of the authors. In other cases, the directors stay impressively true to the source material. It goes to show that the mere visualization of a novel can affect how the content might be perceived. Stacker compiled data on all top-rated movies to come up with a Stacker score, i.e., a weighted index split evenly between IMDb & Metacritic scores. The film had to be based on a book, including novellas, comic books, & short stories; have an IMDb user rating & Metascore; and have at least 5,000 votes. Going from great to greater, here are the 100 best movies based on books." - stacker.com
