So I’ve written about movies that were better than the books they were based on, but what about books based on a movie? This week’s question from Alison Can Read and Parajunkee ponders just that. What movie would you like to see made into a book? I have a few:
- The Royal Tenebaums
- What Lies Beneath
- Moonrise Kingdom
- O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Loosely based on Homer’s Odyssey)
- Your Sister’s Sister
Any to add? Which movie would you choose? And, if I’d chosen a TV show, how awesome would it be to see Jericho as a novel?

Love O Brother. Nice choice! I picked Gosford Park.

I love that movie (it was in my Ryan Phillipe fan days!). It definitely seems like it could be a book (I always thought it might’ve been)…

I’m not a big movie-person, and I gotta admit.. I haven’t watched any of the movies you’ve mentioned, or at least don’t know their English titles. (So, maybe I watched them in German, but.. they always change the titles, and most of the times, it sounds ridiculous.)

Fun list! Jericho would make a cool book. And Moonrise Kingdom seems like a natural for a book adaptation.
Have a great weekend!

Quite tricky to think of movies that aren’t based on books (well, the kind of movies I like anyway). I did LOVE Little Miss Sunshine starring Steve Carell, Toni Colette and Greg Kinnear although not sure the humour would translate. The other one is American Beauty – I loved this film and think if well written, it could be equally as dark and funny.
