When it comes to blogging memes, I don’t follow any consistently, but I like jumping in when I like the topic (not to mention, when I’ve got the time!). It’s rare that I post on a Tuesday, but Alison Doherty at Hardcovers and Heroines inspired me to discuss my favorite movie adaptations of books.

Without further ado! In order from good to greatest:

• To Kill a Mockingbird, based on the book by Harper Lee

• The Crucible, based on the play by Arthur Miller

• The Princess Diaries, based on the book by Meg Cabot

• Fight Club, based on the book by Chuck Palahnuik

• The Age of Innocence, based on the book by Edith Wharton

• Howl’s Moving Castle, based on the book by Diana Wynne Jones

• The Great Gatsby, based on the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald

• Harry Potter series, based on the books by J.K. Rowling

• Never Let Me Go, based on the book by Kazuo Ishiguro

• The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit series, based on the books by J.R.R. Tolkien

I was surprised to find out that Daniel Day-Lewis starred in two of these films…but then again, I shouldn’t be because he’s an amazing actor! So which movies would you add to your list?
