Listful Mondays: Book Movies

Book Movies I Own or Want to Own


Welcome to Listful Mondays again! Today's list was not difficult, but did require much roaming the house to find all the movie stashes. (And I'm in now way certain I found them all.) What I found interesting is there are many movies I have which I don't automatically think of as "book movies," but which very much are. Another interesting thing - I would guess book movies make up roughly a third of all the movies we own! (I did not include Disney's fairy tale adaptations.)

Book Movies I Own:
  1. Much Ado About Nothing
  2. Pride and Prejudice (1995 - the 6 hour one and my favorite)

  7. The Spiderwick Chronicles
  8. Sense and Sensibility (1995)
  9. Sense and Sensibility (2008)
  10. Persuasion (2007)
  11. Northanger Abbey (2007)

  13. Jane Eyre (1997 - my second favorite)
  14. Jane Eyre (1983)
  15. Jane Eyre (1996)
  16. Rebecca (1997 - haven't actually finished watching this...)

  1. I can't wait for the new Wuthering Heights they are working on.

    Where the Wild Things I have at home :)

    Time Traveler's Wife I hated (but then again I hated the book too).

    The acting was awesome in My Sister's Keeper.

  3. I bought the book North and South after watching the movie. Haven't had a chance to read it yet though!

    I also love your list because I'm going to read Jane Eyre and watch the movie for a challenge I'm doing. Now I know to rent the 2006 version!

    My book wish list:
    The Pacific (companion book to the HBO series) - Hugh Ambrose
    The Swan Thieves - Elizabeth Kostova
    The Girl Who Played with Fire - Stieg Larsson
    Beatrice and Virgil - Yann Martel

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and becoming a follower! I love your blog and became a follower as well! Love the list idea!

  4. I will intensify your aching by mentioning that North and South is a must see, especially if you love Pride and Prejudice and its adaptations. Not that the story is similar per se. It's just that I think lovers of one or the other will need to see it.

  5. I liked North and South better than the BBC Pride and Prejudice (but I'm probably the only one that feels that way). John Thornton is way more attractive than Mr. Darcy! He actually made me swoon and that NEVER happens to me while watching movies!

    Oh, and I went out and bought The Pacific today after listing it as being on my wishlist. I couldn't help myself!
