Top Ten Tuesday: Top 10 Book to Movie Adaptations

'Top Ten Tuesday' is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. I love making lists, so this feature fits me perfectly! If you also take part in this feature or have any additions to my lists, please get in touch; I'd love to hear from you!
 
 
Top 10 Book to Movie Adaptations

This week we got to pick our own top 10 list and I decided to go with a top 10 that has been done before but I wasn't able to join in with the fun. I always prefer to read a book before I see its film adaptation, even though I don't always manage to stick to that particular rule. Today's top 10 consists of 10 book-to-movie adaptations I personally loved; I'd love to hear what some of your favourites are! :)



1. Harry Potter



Obviously the Harry Potter series deserves to be mentioned in this top 10. I think the entire film series was incredibly well done and really did the books justice, even though lots of things from the books never made it into the actual films.




2. Stardust



A truly brilliant film adaptation and one of the only instances mentioned in this list where I honestly think the film is better than the book.




3. Pride and Prejudice (1995)



Without a doubt the best 'Pride and Prejudice' adaptation; I love almost everything about it.




4. Little Women (1994)



One of my favourite films of all time <3 I couldn't get enough of it when I was a girl and it's still one of my favourite novels.




5. The Devil Wears Prada



Another great film adaptation that stayed really close to the original book and the casting was incredibly well done.




6. Twilight



I know lots of people think the film series of 'Twilight' was horrible, but I especially loved the first film, almost as much as I loved the first book of the series.




7. Confessions of a Shopaholic



A must-see for any chick lit fan, and a must-read as well, of course!




8. The Notebook



All Nicholas Sparks film adaptations are amazing, if you ask me. I picked 'The Notebook' for this list, but I honestly love all of them.




9. Something Borrowed


One of my favourite books and films; one where, once again, the casting was incredibly well done.




10. Matilda



Another childhood favourite, both film and book. Mara Wilson was meant to play Matilda!
