Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly hosted by The Broke and Bookish. Every week the girls from the Broke and Bookish come up with a subject and I will try to find 10 results combined with that weeks topic.
This weeks topic is going to give me some serious problems. I hardly ever watch movies and if I do I am not always aware if there is a book with it or not. On the other side I am not running to the cinema because there is a movie for a book I love either. I love to use my own imagination and hate to get it spoiled because Hollywood felt the need to put a blond actor where I had a nice looking dark man in my head. So I will just start to try and name 10 movies I guess and see where I end up.
1. Harry Potter (all of them)I have seen all of them obviously and I did like them. Still when I re-read the books earlier this year I felt the atmosphere better and noticed they did miss out on some things too that I felt really made the books special.
2. Twilight (all of them)Yeah I did it. I read all the books and saw all the movies in my personal opinion they are so awful it becomes funny and I like a good laugh.
3. Bram Stocker's Dracula (the 1992 movie)I like the movie way better than the book. At least I was able to make it to the end of the movie ;)
4. The Hunger GamesI read the books just before the release of the movie and was curious how they would handle certain situations. I liked the book better because I felt the emotions and the messages of the people better in the book.
5. The Time Traveller's WifeI first saw the movie and liked it a lot. Read the book last year and I think that is one you should read before seeing the movie.
6. Water for ElephantsAm not sure which one I liked more for this. The atmosphere was great with both the read and the movie and I enjoyed them both. I saw the movie before reading the book with this one too.
Ow wow! That is more than I had expected but after checking this against my reading list I must admit this is as far as I get with my book/movie list. I am curious how many times I am going to say "I saw that one" while visiting other blogs today.

Write reactiesI enjoyed The Time Traveller's Wife, both the book and the movie. Obviously the movie could not include everything from the book but I liked it. And the soundtrack was gorgeous =)

I also have read and watch Twilight :) I didn't like the films that much, but I really like romance, so I liked the books.
ReplyThe time traveler's wife is a special book for me; I loved it very-very much.
I also have seen Water for elephants, but I really didn't get into the film. I think that one of the best points of the book were the chapters in which Jacob was old, and they were absolutely missing in the film.
And I have to say that I'm a little like you because I don't watch so many films and it's been years since last time I went to the cinema. From time to time I take some films out from the public library, but that's all.
I only saw about 1 Harry Potter movie, I'm planning on reading the books, then watching the movies.
ReplyI read and watched Twilight saga, I enjoyed the books, the movies were nice too, but the books are the best. I saw Hunger Games, didn't read the book yet. Saw Time Traveller's Wife and Water for Elephants too - didn't read the books.
