One movie you'd like to adapt into a book.

Usually the equation is written the other way round. Let's flip this for once. What is that one movie you'd like to adapt into a book because it didn't give you a closure or didn't explore other characters.



There was a movie that released in 2005 called Naina. While the topic and treatment of the movie was fantastic, Urmila Matondkar's act left me a little in want of something more. I strongly believe that subject could have been better dealt with in a book than a movie.

I'll stop now to give room for the suggestions of others. ☺️

@Pedro_P , won't you suggest your favourite Scissorhands movie? And @rahuldev , kindly suggest your best horror movie.



PS: Don't show this to @Dev , but I don't think he watches movies at all. Lol..

A fish called Wanda. John Cleese did the original screenplay. If there was a book, I am sure he would have done a very good job with the book too.

That is a tough one Shivani. I cannot think of a movie that I would prefer adapted as a book.

That's an interesting list. Though 27 Dresses, I think it was better off as a movie.

It's a 1988 movie. A little dated. I am not sure if you will like it very much. But it's a caper - a heist if you will and a comedy, so you just might. I suppose you could give it a whirl. John Cleese and Michael Palin are, of course, old time Monty Pythoners.

Dated, yes. And many times it so happens that what you enjoyed earlier doesn't hold much interest now. Perhaps we are now used to crisp and clear HD prints with better sound technology and all, it's a bit tiresome at times to sit through those movies. From personal experience, I tried watching this movie again but couldn't finish it.

I downloaded all of Monty Python (the entire series), and I am struggling through it. I don't find it the least bit funny. I don't know what the fuss is about. British humor is not for everybody.
