From the page to the big(ish) screen 🍿 Some of my favourite book to screen adaptations (and a couple others!)
19
Arguably even more devastating than the book?
This Is Going To Hurt
Ugly cried…
Sitting in Bars with Cake
Based “loosely” on the novel by Jeff VanderMeer
Annihilation
One of my all time favourite movies.
The Shining
Granted I couldn't finish the book but I found this wonderfully eerie.
Leave the World Behind
This feels wonderfully autumnal. Or alternatively a great plane watch.
The Flatshare
Feminist sci-fi anyone?
The Power
The ending sneaks up on you. For a second I wanted to tap out but it got so so good!
Behind Her Eyes
The iconic wedding scene!
Crazy Rich Asians
Friendship first. I'll be honest the book wasn't for me but the show does look cute.
Everything I Know About Love
I've been told this is better than the book 👀 I love Jessie Buckley.
I’m Thinking of Ending Things
Got the book after the film...never read the book but the film is a classic for a reason!
The Stepford Wives
Upcoming release for weird girl book fans!
Nightbitch
The show that gave us Paul Mescal & Daisy Edgar Jones! Another perfect Autumn watch.
Normal People
The premise is very heavy but I'm so intrigued by the book now.
We Need to Talk About Kevin
Whilst you're on Paramount+ for The Flatshare add in this eerie thriller. I hate this guy!
The Serial Killer's Wife
A Spanish book & show that gives fan fiction energy.
A Perfect Story
A recent adaptation for fans of female rage.
Sweetpea
The perfect autumn, weeping, fuzzy romance. I adore the rest of the book series if you haven't read them before please do.
Me Before You
Recently released and based on a Matt Haig book. It's giving Santa Clarita Diet - which I loved.
The Radleys
How could I forget. Maybe the first book adaptation I ever watched.
Bridget Jones's Diary
