Fried Green Tomatoes was an excellent book. The movie was OK, but left out the main (and most important) theme of the book, which was the lesbian relationship between the two main female characters.
Wuthering Heights was made into several different movie versions. I haven’t seen any of them yet. Probably the most well known is the 1939 Version with Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier and David Niven.
Sense and Sensibility The movie version with Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant is excellent. Haven’t seen the PBS version with Dan Stevens (Matthew from Downton Abbey).
The Jungle Book Of course there is the animated Disney version, which bears only a small resemblance to the original book. There is another Disney version which is partly live action and partly CGI, but it’s quite good, but also bears little resemblance to the book. Apparently there is another new version that is coming out soon (Ben Kingsley is one of the actors) that is a live action film that is truer to the book. There’s a much older version made in 1942(1942_film)
The Help Excellent book, pretty good movie, but it left out way too much.
A Christmas Carol Lots of really good movie versions, but I’m partial to the one with Patrick Stewart, but I also really enjoyed (didn’t think I would) the animated version with Jim Carrey.
