Two things that I really love are books and movies. ( I love music too, but that may be another blog post.) I wanted to make a list of teen movies I love to watch that also came from books. Sometimes, the book to movie transition is obvious, but sometimes, it's a little more discrete.
One of my absolute favorites is
Ten Things I Hate about You staring Julia Stiles and the late Heath Ledger. Did you know that
Ten Things I Hate about You is based on a play by William Shakespeare called
The Taming of the Shrew? Although
Taming of the Shrew is NOT my favorite Shakespeare play, I do enjoy the
Merchant of Venice. . .
Clueless based loosely on Jane Austin's
Emma. While it has been an EXTREMELY long time since I've read even a part of
Emma, I do still have
Clueless on DVD.
Another great book to movie adaptation is
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Now I much prefer the movie version that came out just a few years ago. Anything with Alan Rickman either on screen or as a voice over is automatically wonderful for me. Both the book and movie make me laugh like crazy.
My current favorite movie adaptation is
The Twilight Sage: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. I love this saga and
Eclipse has always been my favorite book in the saga because that is when Bella finally makes her decision between Edward and Jacob or as I like to refer to them sometimes, air conditioning and a space heater. (LOL)
These will probably be the first books to movies I read/watch for the really cool
Page to screen challenge. Happy reading and viewing!
