Lord of the Rings no doubt about it
and the soon to be released Davinci Code
What's everyone's favorite movie that was based on a book? I'm trying to come up with some movies and books that I haven't read yet. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah LOTR was awesome, IMO there isn't a better adaptation. Though I wonder how true to the book the code will be.

I cant wait for Jackson to do The Hobbitt.
Animal Farm, One Flew Over The Coo Coo's Nest, The Shining.
"There he goes, one of Gods own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die"
I never really liked the Hobbitt, the Silmarillion was better. If Jackson's Kong is any reflection of what his future work will entail, I don't know. Though with the LOTR there was a great story line already there.

Anyone know if Jackson is indeed planning on making The Hobbit?

NEW YORK - Peter Jackson won't be returning to the Shire any time soon. The Oscar-winning director is planning to film "The Hobbit," the prequel to "The Lord of the Rings," trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien, but two studios must first fight over legal rights to the film.
Jackson said New Line Cinema has the rights to make the movie, but MGM has the rights to distribute it.
"I guess MGM's lawyers and New Line's lawyers are going to have a huge amount of fun over the next few years trying to work it all out," he told reporters recently in Los Angeles, according to AP Radio. "I'm obviously busy for a couple of years on 'King Kong' so those lawyers can just go at it for a long time."
"The Hobbit" tells the story of Bilbo Baggins, who found the ring and eventually passes it on to his nephew, Frodo Baggins. Frodo's journey to Mount Doom to destroy the ring is the basis for the "Rings" books and films.
Jackson said if he were going to direct the movie, he'd want it to feel like the rest of the trilogy. On Sunday, Jackson won an Academy Award for best director shared the adapted-screenplay award with his two co-writers for the final "Rings" film, "The Return of the King."
"I'd want Ian McKellen to be back as Gandalf, I'd want it to feel like it was part of the same mythology that we've done with 'Lord of the Rings,'" Jackson said.
"The Return of the King" swept this year's Academy Awards, winning all 11 categories in which it was nominated.
Jackson is in the middle of remaking "King Kong," due out next year, starring Naomi Watts.

The 13th Warrior and We Were Soldiers.
"Freedom is not free, it requires great sacrafice. The price is paid in blood."
13th warrior was a great movie, though a lot of ppl haven't seen it.
