honestfi Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 This may be in the wrong place and belongs in Classics, I wasn't sure. Mods, please move if you have to.. Thinking of Clueless, an adaptation of Emma, I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts about films in a similar vein, good or bad? Another obvious one I can think of is 10 Things I Hate About You (The Taming Of The Shrew). Okay, so both of these are chick-flicks really, and the critics quite liked them, but are there any that in your opinion are a disgrace to the book? Or even any clever adaptations, and stand out? Not so much adaptations that stick to the era, or have the same words (such as the costume dramas we've been getting lately, or Olivier's Richard III, for instance) more remakes, where they've used a book's story (a classic, usually) and just used the storyline. Were there any films such as these that made you want to get the book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
