The Grapes of Wrath is a tossup between the novel and the film.
There is a GM named Poles
Who has a clear set of goals
He’s rebuilt his team
So Bears’ fans can dream
Of winning some more Super Bowls

man, i've been searching all my life and honestly never thought i'd find the one person on earth who thought the road adaptation was good.karhu wrote:Best:
The Road is fantastic any way it's dished up. No Country for Old Men was awfully good, too, but The Road did a better job with a tougher challenge IMSO.
Worst:
Cloud Atlas, hands down. Terrific book, but the movie spent a moment or two being so bad it was almost funny, then got depressingly worse for what felt like eighteen hours.
Stretch:
The Fry & Laurie Wooster and Jeeves series was just about perfect, like the novels themselves.

I am currently reading 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold' I saw the movie as a kid and again recently watched it on YouTube. Both the book and movie are great.
