Movies based on your favorite novels.

Reference: My recent re-read of Murder On Orient Express by Agatha Christie, and release of latest movie based on this novel.

Transforming genre fiction into memorable cinema is no simple task. I'm not much of a movie watcher, and I somewhat purposefully try to avoid ( ) watching movies based on my favorite novels, if possible. Reason, I have rarely seen films which have honestly replicated the very inner soul of the novels which I like.

This inspires me to obtain more opinions on the experience of other members.

How often does a film adaptation of a novel you love meet your expectations?

If you find any movies which fully satisfy your expectations of visual representation of a favorite novel, please share with us, this will definitely be helpful to people like me who have so far averted to watch these fascinating visual transformations.
