Mogsy: Favorite Book Turned Into A Movie

Okay, there are books I love whose movie adaptations end up being train wrecks that I abhor. On the other hand, there are also examples of great films based on books I’m not all that crazy for. So, in coming up with my answer for this question, I wanted to think of an instance where I actually enjoyed both the book and its movie.It‘s actually tougher than I thought.

In the end, I had to go with this one. After 20 years (holy crap, has it really been that long?!) the movie is still just as entertaining for me now to watch as it was in the theater the first time I saw it as a little kid, and it was based on what was, in my opinion, one of the best books by Michael Crichton.
