Are there any movies you have seen(I being more of a film buff) which you feel have really captured the books they were based on?
I've not got much left of that one, I was going to try and finish it tonight but being when it was written you can imaging that them 70 odd pages are not easy to just fly through.

Movies that captured the books? that's a pretty fucking tough question, I'm guessing that the majority of ones that I would mention are pretty famous films already

True Grit, To Kill a Mockingbird, Clockwork Orange etc

Blindness wasn't a bad film adaptation although it still wasn't anything on the book (by Jose Saramago, check it out if you haven't ever read it)
Swedish version of Girl with a dragon tattoo
Swedish version of Let the right one in
Room was really good, film and book

A couple of horrors that did it well would be Amityville horror, Exorcist, The Entity

A film that came out recently was A Monster Calls, the film was horrible and the book is for kids but it was fucking fantastic and actually nearly made me shed a tear at the end, I think I purchased it when I was drunk (I have a bit of a habit of doing that)

one of the books I ordered today was The Postman by Charles Bukowski, I think it may have actually been you that recommended that to me ages ago.
