List best book and best movie version of that book.
« on: April 30, 2012, 09:18:03 am »
I’m gonna go with a classic here.  Agatha Christie’s And then there were none.  Movie version I gotta give it up to Louis Hayward.  His version is the only one with a happy ending but its humor truly makes it a classic with staying power even in this day and age.  —Guess it’s why it was put on dvd!

Book Star Wars Trilogy by Alan Dean Forester, Donald F. Glut, and James Kahn! Best movie, Retrun of the Jedi.  Luke is just weak and sappy in the other two.

Book, well double trilogy Starwars.  Best movie Episode III Revenge of the Sith. That fight scene at the end between Hayden Christen and Ewan McGregor is classic!  And when he turns into Darth Vader…oh, I could watch that forever.
