Well my list would be pages long, just like my list of books [English/history teacher & school librarian--so I'm hopeless...], but I can't do my Christmas baking without "White Christmas" & "It's a Wonderful Life". The Harry Potter movies are really good, but not even in the same universe as the books. The Chronicles of Narnia & Lord of the Rings movies also did a fairly good job of recreating the stories visually, but the books are so rich. I really liked The Help & War Horse, but movies that fictionally document history can make us uncomfortable. One of the greatest things the Harry Potter books did was to turn a new group of young and old on to reading! Many continue to move from one series to another after finishing Harry. One of those series is "Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. Check with middle school to college agers, the first movie comes out in March.
