    Default Books that should, or shouldn't have been turned into movies.

    Any books that would make a good movie or any movies that put the original book to shame? Any books that you are glad to have been turned into movie?

    All of the books by Sarah Dessen should be made into movies.
    Twilight movie sucked; ruined everything for me. Sometimes I think the same thing about Vampire Diaries.
    All of the Nicholas Sparks novels that have been turned into movies are awesome.

    I'd say anything by Scott Westerfeld, but movies have this special way of ruining books.

    A few more Stephen King books should be turned into movies. I mean, they always do, anyways.

    Also, I'm really glad A Clockwork Orange was turned into a movie. It was marvelous.

    Going to be obvious and say the Twilight series. The books are terrible and so are the films

    Would love to see The Darkangel Trilogy, The Wicked Lovely Series, and the last two books in The Hunger Games Trilogy in theaters one day.

    I really wish they would not make the Stephanie Plum novels into movies. It's just asking for trouble..

    I'd like to see a remake of George Orwell's 1984....Anthony Hopkins as O'Brien would be fucking amazing.

    The Hunger Games never should have been made. It was possibly the worst book-to-film adaptation I've ever seen.

    The last four Harry Potter films sucked ass, too, but I won't say that they shouldn't have existed, because the first four (especially Goblet Of Fire) were worth it.

    I really hope Stephen Fry's The Liar gets made into a film soon; he's supposedly been working on it for years now.
