I’d gladly take off a few off the list and add The World According To Garp, A Clockwork Orange, Farenheit 451, My Life As A Dog, Nosferatu, and Cabeza de Vaca. As for the synopsis of Kiss of the Spider Woman, Luis doesn’t invent the films. He’s retelling films he’d seen in theaters and he doesn’t choose them because they are romantic but because they are psychological insights into human behavior. The films he describes are Cat People and The Enchanted Cottage. I believe the zombie movie Luis describes is I Walked With A Zombie.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the screenplay for “2001: A Space Odyssey” was written by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke concurrently with the novel which was written by Clarke alone. The movie wasn’t based on the book, but both were developed at the same time.

Only the second godfather movie was based on the book, and that was the back story

I have to admit there are a few I would have added in:

To Kill a Mockingbird
The Razors Edge
The Wizard of OZ

I would gladly take off; Diggstown, The Secret of Nihm, and Remo Williams to put these on.

But ultimately lists are just a matter of taste. If you think, Diggstown, The Secret of Nihm and Remo williams are better than; Too Kill a mockingbird, The Razors edge and the Wizard of Oz; that is perfectly acceptable, I would have gone a different direction is all.

I would have added more Jane Austen: Sense & Sensibility, Emma, and I probably would have used Knightley’s P&P; A Tale of Two Cities–sure, I saw the musical and enjoyed that live performance better, but the old black&white is still great; Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, to be sure, would make my list (I don’t have a Christine/Raoul figurine for nothing–yes, I got one for my birthday when I was 16 and it plays “Think of Me” so just call me a nerd already); and Jane Eyre–the Masterpiece Theater production made me go and get the 466 page book from the library 3 days ago and already I am at page 300.

Excellent list.

I particularly like the inclusion of Ragtime. Most people haven’t heard of it, but it is definitely a great film.

Also, bout the inclusion of Dead Zone. That was the first movie that I remember seeing Christopher Walken. The scene where he says, “The ice is going to break!!!” and hits the very expensive vase with his cane, just gave me chills, and gives me chills each time I see it. When I saw that, I though, “Wow. He’s going to be a great actor.

And he can even dance on ceilings.

I’d realign “The Lord of the Rings” as one book made into a three-part movie, for one. This because, well, duh, where’s “The Exorcist?” Plus, there would then still be room on this list of 100 for one of my fave adaptations of book-into-film, “Catch-22″.
