That being said, I do read and watch Longmire on TV--not a movie, but oh well. Thanks for responding.

I LOVED Nicholas and Alexandra, but never saw the movie. Rebecca, of course--both book and move versions. IMHO, books are nearly always better than their film counterparts, but some stand out as being almost equal: Lord of the Flies (the 1960s-something version), and The Collector, with a very young, creepy but gorgeous Terrance Stamp. I loved Dr. Zhivago (the book) and when I saw the movie in its original released, I loved it, too. Seeing it again recently, tho', I was disappointed. And how about Little Big Man? Both book and movie were excellent. Another, Natalie Babbitt's YA, Tuck Everlasting...just popped into my head. Both are wonderful.<br /><br />Thanks for the mental prod:-) Kathy Fischer-Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846116949645699035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386912343147794659.post-51134960512727749492014-09-11T16:22:28.829-06:002014-09-11T16:22:28.829-06:00Not being a movie buff I usually like the book bet...Not being a movie buff I usually like the book better. Loved Dr. Zivago in book form. Movie disappointed me. The movies I felt really put the book across The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Watching the movie, I could remember parts of the book . The A & E version of Pride and Prejudice was wonderful and caught the essence of the book. I tend to watch this once a year.Janet Lane Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488093917556546485noreply@blogger.com
