I'm weird, then. I love the books, hate every TV version, and adore the RDJ movies. I'm not even a movie person--especially not action/thrillers--at best, I'll sit through 1-2 movies a year, usually not in a theater. (Nor am I anywhere near being a teenager.) No, they're not canon, but for what they were, they were well done.
The books, I reread about twice a year.
