As for the Painted Veil, I think I'm the only person who was truly swept away by it. <br /><br />Cowboy mom, I wish I could come down there with a big box of allergy pills and a bunch of movies and just watch them with you.

I guess I have a lot of either movies to watch or books to read. location, location, location. little tiny grrr.<br /><br />I've only seen and read both movie and book of The Lion the which and the Wardrobe. I Loved the movie I thought they did an excellent job but I can't like it better then the book. I'm to attatched to the books. <br /><br />The Anne of Green Gables ones, on the other hand, Definately movie over books. I tried really hard to read the books and I never could get through them.<br /><br />Pride and prejudice, Loved them both. I loved seing the characters brought to life.<br /><br />The other movies you mentioned I've never heard of, again, Location location.....teeny grr!!! except the Bourne series. I should 'a'' guessed they were based on books but I probably wouldn't take the time to read books like that anyway.<br /><br />I want to read some of the others and see the movies. They sound like my type of stories.Cathy Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503964361190816955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-86393026319250000492011-04-30T12:03:08.210-06:002011-04-30T12:03:08.210-06:00Lovely post!

And I've not seen the movie, but I know there's a REALLY AWESOME song in it sung by... you know who. <br /><br />I think I've seen The Painted Veil, but I guess I wasn't as blown away. It looks like I need to find Snow Falling on Cedars too.<br /><br />Agree with you on the Bourne stuff, Anne, and P and P, for sure.<br /><br />I know nothing about The Jane Austen Book Club... will have to check that one out too!Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926501219758538615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-24868671591891712802011-04-30T10:25:37.581-06:002011-04-30T10:25:37.581-06:00Kim, Yeah, Neil Gaiman is hit or miss with me.

I LOVE the books but since the movies can be watched in a shorter amount of time (even though they are long), I can easily get my "fix" without having to read the book. I'm not sure I could say that the movies are better but I'm so glad they're so awesome.<br /><br />One movie that I think is way better than the book is Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I have to confess to not being a Neil Gaiman fan so that probably affects my opinion.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585721638280496666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-61158755891533903212011-04-29T14:50:11.987-06:002011-04-29T14:50:11.987-06:00Jenni Elyse, Thanks for stopping by.

I wrote a post about it last year in June. It's a movie that isn't very widely known I don't think and I love it. <br /><br />I read the Bourne books so long ago, I can't really remember all that much about them except that I liked them a lot. Liked the movies too, but I'm not sure they were much like the books.<br /><br />I think I liked the movie Practical Magic more than the book. Actually, I wrote another post about books to movies also last June.
