I've never met a movie I liked better than the book it was based on. But some of the movies are good on their own merits.

Not a fan of #12 myself, but otherwise a great list! Thanks for sharing :-)

You'd probably get a kick out of my TT "13 things I miss about my pre-mom life": http://bendingthetwigs.blogspot.com/2007/06/tt-13-things-i-miss-about-my-pre-mom.html

Great list! I've either read them or seen them, except the Divinci Code. Sense and Sensibility is one of my all time favorite movies.
Thanks for visiting!

Oh no! Not blasphemy. And here I thought it was just stupid fiction.

I have only seen the notebook and not read it and it was AMAZING. So if the book was a lot better, I can't even imagine it!

I've seen and read numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Which Little Women did you see? I've seen 3 versions -- one with Wynona Ryder s Jo (my favorite), one with Katherine Hepburn as Jo, and one with I think June Allyson.

With all of the toys, books and school stuff filling our home, it tends to looks as if it is void of any order. In reality we are very systematic in the way our main parts (each family member) are connected, so as to form one whole unit (our family), thus creating "organized chaos".
