Harry Potter (2002-2011)
Although eight films, J.K. With two screenwriters and four directors, Rowling’s Harry Potter film series had to step back significantly.

This is a great adaptation for fans who can’t wait to see what they just read.
The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003)
In general, the Peter Jackson movie trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous epic fantasy novel. Jackson simplified the plot, but most people didn’t have a problem because Tom Bombadil wasn’t enough. Using advanced computer graphics, Jackson can depict the world famous fantasy world in a realistic and convincing way, while retaining elements of hope, courage and sadness.
No Country for Old Men (2007)
One of the best writers of all time, Cormac McCarthy explores the idea of good and evil, and this division can be absurd in No Country for Old Men, one of his more intimate novels. The Coen brothers remain very faithful to the novel; In fact, they are absolutely right that you should read the book before watching the movie, because if you don’t, every line will set the picture in the movie before you create your own. Not too bad considering how skillfully they shot put together.
Wonder Boys (2000)
Fantastic writing, entertaining characters, and amazing moments abound in Michael Chabon’s book about a writer who can’t manage to finish his second novel, which has swollen to thousands of unpublishable pages. To put it another way, it’s inside. Fortunately, screenwriter Steve Kloves was given the freedom by Chabon to take the plot on and rewrite some of the minor aspects and remove a significant amount of material. These adjustments, together with an absolutely outstanding performance by Michael Douglas, elevate an already excellent adaption to a spectacular one that only grows with each passing year.
Room (2015)
Emma Donoghue was confident that her work would get the attention of filmmakers, so she created the screenplay before it was released. The end product is a tight, incredibly accurate translation that is elevated to greatness by Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay’s performances. Lenny Abrahamson’s choice to use only one set for the room and keep the exterior shots until after the escape complements the book’s short and sinister tone.
Having a Wallflower (2012)
Author Steven Chbosky released the popular tale in 1999, and it quickly became a hit among young people. From the beginning Chbosky intended to turn his work into a screenplay. Even the most ardent book fans adored the film adaptation that writer-director Chbosky created more than ten years later, thanks to producer John Malkovich’s assistance in capturing the novel’s challenging themes of drug use and strained relations.An all-star ensemble that includes Kate Walsh, Emma Watson, Paul Rudd and Ezra Miller only enhances the original material.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018)
Jenny Hahn’s New York Times bestseller about gender, sexuality and teenage pressure has been revived with an impressive adaptation on Netflix. Within a week, the film became a fan favorite and became a classic as one of the best book-to-film adaptations. PS I Still Love You ends on a hot stone (ideal to keep the audience), but it’s a movie for all the boys I’ve loved before borrowing a few scenes for the orchestral swelling moments of every good romantic movie.
The Killer Roses (2023)
