   • Jurassic Park (1993) I mean, duh. I can’t even do a hot take and say that any other movie is better than this pick, because there isn’t one. You know the story.
   • The Great Train Robbery (1978) Sean Connery and Donald Sutherland star in this really fun caper where two thieves rob a train full of gold. The whole film is basically them figuring out how to do it, and then they do it.
   • The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), who was always more interesting than Dr. Alan Grant, stars in this first sequel to the mega-hit, Jurassic Park.
   • Congo (1995) I’m going to be straight with you. Congo is a terrible movie. But, God, do I love it. It’s one of those so-bad-it’s-good guilty pleasures of mine that's just too enjoyable not to put high on this list.

   • The Godfather (Mario Puzo) £9.99. Buy the Godfather trilogy at Amazon. Film: 1972. Director: Francis Ford Coppola. Mario Puzo himself assisted on the screenplay for Coppola’s classic.
   • The Silence Of The Lambs (Thomas Harris) £5.68. Buy the movie at Amazon. Film: 1991. Director: Jonathan Demme. That The Silence of the Lambs is a great movie goes without saying – it won the Big Five (best film; best director; best actor/actress and best writing) at the Oscars.
   • To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee) £4.99. Buy the movie at Amazon. Film: 1962. Director: Robert Mulligan. If Harper Lee’s epoch-defining novel is about tolerance and compassion in the face of hatred and violence, then Robert Mulligan’s adaptation has it spot on.
   • Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk) £3.00. Buy the movie at Amazon. Film: 1999. Director: David Fincher. Critics often attack Hollywood for castrating a book’s central premise or diluting its message so as to garner a bigger audience.

Specifically: Hollywood stopped turning his books into movies. “It has been 15 years since there was an adaptation,” Grisham said.

   Can a movie do its source material justice?

   • But now and then, a film comes along that’s able to do its source material justice—whether by staying true to all the most important parts of a book or, in looser adaptations, by broadening its appeal to an even larger audience, modernizing an outdated story, or injecting much-needed life into a slower-moving tale.
