Movies/Movie Titles from literary works

[pat93fox]

I am doing a paper on movies based on or titled after aspects of great literary works. I have made a list of the obvious-Little Women, The Dead(james joyce), all of Shakespeare etc....... but I need some less obvious ones. Any input would help me out.

The Time Machine,War Of The Worlds from HG Wells.American Psycho by bret easton ellis (please do this one and see what your teacher says)

[ilovemovies]

Of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, I'm pretty sure The Thin Red Line was based on a novel. All of the Stephen King adaptations, all of the Tom Clancy and Michael Critchon adaptations. Charlotte's Web, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, all of the John Grisham adaptations.

My thoughts exactly, best movie ever man.

But seriously, at least 25% of movies are based on books. It could take a while.
