well for one thing...Harry Potter. Thats one of my favorite series. If you haven't already read them, sisterhood of the traveling pants. one of my favorite books ever is cobwebs, by karen young...thats awesome. also, the dueling princes, stealing princes, pulling princes set...i love those. One of those hideous books where the mother dies (yes, thats the title) i love that book, i've read it like 6 times. all of those are great...i hope there's at least a few you haven't read here! this is exactly what i told someone else, idk if you read that, but if you did, thats why it looks familiar :)

Yeah, it's really excellent. Goes further into some of the aspects of the story than the movie (which was also excellent).\n\nI can't think of an occasion where the movie beats the book though.

The Great Santini\n\nW/ a vivid imagination everything comes alive in this book about a Marine Pilot who gets in and out of so many different situations.  The club scene in the beginning of the book is sooooooo funny.

My favorite has always been Shakespeare. There's lots of help on the web for it, and it's just classic. To understand Shakespeare will give you lots of laughs especially with these new teen movies out that rip him off :) Plus it's just cool to read the stories that have inspired people for hundreds of years.

The Beach, it was made into a movie several years ago with Leonardo Dicaprio, but the book is so much better.  I wish I could remember the author for you.  \n\nAlso, I recommend The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime; A Seperate Peace; A Tree Grows in Brooklyn; and Catch-22.  \n\nThese are some of my personal favorites, I hope you like them too!

Little Women is my favorite book of all time.  There are some pivotal moments that happen to Jo during her life (and none of them are that she dies).  Meeting Laurie, Beth's illness and later her death, Meg's marriage because it was a growing-up moment for Jo, the death of Aunt March and inheriting Plumfield, meeting the Professor and later falling in love with him, becoming a published writer... I think that's maybe only 7 or 8 but I'm sure there's a few more in there. :)

Mine would have to be KING KONG! The recent film directed by Peter Jackson mainly because it backed up the theory of King Kong himself, where he originates from and how he came to be... :)

Where the Heart is. \n\nAwesome movie, awesome book.

I would vote for A Midsummer Night's Dream.  It's a great dose of comic silliness with just enough philosophical inquiry into the relationship between dream and reality to give you food for thought.  The last scene alone is worth the price of admission (or rental, or the cost of a good book).

The book is awesome, there's no doubt about that.  But then the film is probably the greatest cinematographic realisation of a classic book that I know of.  "So what's it going to be then, eh?" ...  Well, I gotta say the book wins at a pinch, just because the images are so evocative, the message so well realised and bleak and brutal, the prose so, well, prosaic - Nadsat withstanding.  The film shines, but it shines best in its correspondence to what the book has already evoked.  Stunning question though, dude.
