I’m not a big movie watcher, but one of my favorite books that has a decent movie adaptation is The Accidental Tourist. The casting was fabulous, William Hurt is Macon Leary.
Remains of the Day is another book that was nicely handled in the movie adaptation.
Two classics, To Kill a Mockingbird and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn are well done, but ATGIB is skimmed down a good bit.
I would love to see The Good Earth done again in movie form. With actual Asian actors, and without the Uncle being so goofy and offensively handled.
I know there are more...
