This time I am in awe not just of how few films I have seen but also how few books I have read. And I realized I've read a bunch of things that were turned into films but they either sucked (i.e. The Golden Com) or I never did watch the films (i.e. 1984, The Book Thief, and others).
So, here's a top 5, which happens to include five films that I really, truly loved, based on five books that I also really, truly loved.
