B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping film adaptations of books into the ol’ VCR. 

Friends, I know Elliott is known as our resident bookworm, and she’s more than earned the title. 

Sure, I’ve been devouring the Indian Lake trilogy, and I read a different Stephen King book every October, but I’m not the voracious reader El is. 

However, I think I’ve made it clear that movies are my jam. And, that includes film adaptations of books. 

Before we get started, I need all of you to know that I had to reign myself in. 

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of film adaptations of books, so I limited myself to 12 for a couple of reasons. 

First and foremost, I’m going with all of the adaptations that immediately popped into my head. 

Secondly, I went through big Hunger Games and Twilight phases as a teenager, but, as an adult, they’re not my faves. 

Lastly, yes, I know Salem’s Lot is a miniseries. In my defense, it’s directed by Tobe Hooper, and I always watch both parts; it deserves its spot on this list. 

ALRIGHTY, that should be everything. Without further ado, here are 12 of my favorite film adaptations of books: 

• The Great Gatsby
• Pet Sematary
• Salem’s Lot 
• Practical Magic 
• Gone Girl 
• To Kill A Mockingbird 
• Silence of the Lambs 
• The Social Network 
• Jackie Brown 
• American Psycho 
• Crazy Rich Asians 
• Killers of the Flower Moon
