Are you looking for a good time over the weekend? Why not
grab a copy of the following top ten books that
made into movies and enjoy the leisure of watching your favorite characters
come to life in the eyes of directors and producers.
Carrie
Stephen King is known as one of the masters of horror
novels. Most, if not all of his novels, were considered best sellers including
Carrie. This was made into a film by director Brian de Palma and starred Sissy
Spacek and Piper Laurie. It is a masterpiece on its own and received a domestic
gross of $33,800,000, an amount extremely big during its opening on November 3,
1976. There are rumors that a remake of this movie starring Chloe Moretz is
said to be released in the near future, so you may wish to see the original or
read the novel before it hits the big screen once again.
The Hunger Games
This movie was released in the first quarter of this year
and was able to set a record of $67.3 million on its opening day. It is highly
praised by movie critics. The actors were applauded for their superb acting
skill earning her a nomination as Best Actress in the Academy Award. The movie
has been released in Blu-ray and DVD on August 18, 2012 so you would most
likely find a copy of it through most online stores.
The Notebook
There are numerous novels written by Nicholas Sparks that
made it into the big screen, but this particular story sent everyone believing
in love. After watching it in the big screen, many considered it necessary to
go read the pages of the novel to see it in full detail. They were not
disappointed because Director Nick Cassavetes made an excellent job with the
movie.
Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown has been acclaimed in the literary genre because
of his interesting and mystifying novels. It remained Number 1 on the New York
Times Best Seller list and the movie did great as well. If you failed to watch
this due to numerous commitments, then you should not let the opportunity to
purchase an original copy pass you buy. Moreover, you would love Tom Hanks
portrayal of Robert Langdon, as he takes you into a journey to the world of
religious conspiracies.
Jaws
Although only an adaptation of the best seller created by
Peter Benchley, those who have watched this film in the big screen can still
recall the terror brought by Steven Spielberg to moviegoers. The actors did an
excellent job in portraying the emotions of the characters, which makes it one
of the best films ever made to date. News of a possible remake by Universal
Studios has circulated in the early months of 2010, but it still remains a
rumor until now. In any case, you can watch the genius of Spielberg in this
film at the comfort of your own house by buying a copy of it online.
