Name me ONE film, just ONE

[LARF]

...that sticks faithfully to the story, telling it as it is in the book/graphic novel without some Hollywood flower arse pulling a fast one and slipping a coil in the U-bend of film that then spoils it for the rest of us!!!!

(sorry just heard about V)

[Dunk!]

Sin City?

[Conexus]

Rosemary's baby apparently (according to Stephen King anyways)

[Richmond Clements]

The Green Mile

[Pyroxian]

Yep, Sin City.

   Steve

[Funt Solo]

The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Of course, Blade Runner didn't stick to the source material (Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?) much, but in that case it was a blessing.

[Funt Solo]

Judge Dredd.

[Puts on flame-retardent suit.]

[Tiplodocus]

Much as I love the RINGS films, even I can see that there is an AWFUL lot of Hollywood crap shoehorned into them.  Fortunately, for me, the WOW bits outnumber the shield surfing, dwarf tossing, elephant killing bits.

Catch-22?

[Mangamax]

Without any fear of contradiction - "To Kill A Mockingbird"

[Satanist]

Clockwork Orange. The only difference is they missed out the last chapter.

So they actually filmed less of the book and didnt add anything.

[Mike Carroll]

Damn you, Rac! I was going to say The Green Mle!

Same writer, same director:
The Shawshank Redemption

[Wils]

but in that case it was a blessing.

Biting my tongue for the most part (DADoES being one of my favourite books ever), at least hinting at the replicant underground subculture would've been a plus for the film and added more weight to the fact of them casually being retired by the Bladerunners.

[Funt Solo]

Ah, poor choice of wording on my part.  Whilst Blade Runner pays some homage to the source material, it is essentially a completely different story, in terms of most of the plot and certainly in terms of the style.

I think both are excellent, to be honest.  I just don't know how filmable the book was (thus my "it was a blessing" comment).

[longmanshort]

Kramer vs Kramer ... wait, was it a book?

I think they should make a film version of The Stars, My Destination (if they haven't already). It'd make a cracking film ...
