My Favourite Movies Based on Books

Today is World Book Day so I thought I would rank my favourite movies that are actually based on books. I'm only basing my list on movies that I've seen as I know how critically acclaimed Lord of the Rings, Schindler's List and Shawshank Redemption are but I haven't seen them. 

10. Love, Simon

09. The Bourne Supremacy 

08. Blade Runner

06. Jurassic Park

05. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 

04. The Social Network

03. Jaws

01. Forrest Gump

"Life is like a box of chocolates."

Forrest Gump is my favourite movie of all time so too learn it was based on a book of the same name written by Winston Groom was perfect. Tom Hanks' performance is incredible, definitely worthy of the Oscar he received and the whole movie is just so emotionally investing - never failing to make me cry. 


I love absolutely all of these movies and from number eight onwards, every movie would have a chance of appearing in my top fifty movies of all time.

  1. Have you read the book of Forrest Gump? Would be interested to know how different it was. I often find it difficult to enjoy a film version of a book - nothing beats your own imagination of characters for me.
