"Weaterman" is on our list to see. I've seen so many versions of "Oliver Twist" that I guess I could stand one more. |

Dickens is an abysmal read, but his books seem to make good movies... the opposite is more common, great books made into lousy movies. We don't go see many movies... in fact I can't recall what we went to see last. My wife & I don't have the need to "be entertained" since we seem to be able to entertain ourselves. But I heard some talk about a new Pink Panther movie which I'd probably like. A few months ago, I ordered a DVD of Walt Disney's "Fantasia" which is the only DVD we own... we have some of the BBC's Sherlock Holmes series, and a stack of sailing videos, on VHS tape... probably will end up throwing them all away. It is a tradition in our household that we watch TV so rarely that when we turn it on, the dog barks at it. DSK |

The epitome of great books made into bad movies has to be "Catch 22" One of my favorite books and one of the worst movies ever. |

Gee, I lived for Dicken's books when I was in junior high...and read Bronte, Austen and Forrsester when I was in high school. All of their works translate well in the movies, but I liked the books better. Every so often I dig them out for a good re-read. |

The epitome of great books made into bad movies has to be "Catch 22" One of my favorite books and one of the worst movies ever. The movie tried to get the flow of the book, and IMHo ended up a disjointed mess although it had it's moments. I like Alan Arkin & Bob Newhart. katysails wrote: Gee, I lived for Dicken's books when I was in junior high... You have better taste in Litterah-choor than I do. I thought most of those Victorian novelists were dreary & long-winded. The plots were great though. How many movies have been made of 'Tom Sawyer'? Any good ones, or even half-decent? I've seen at least eight or nine & they all sucked. DSK |

DSK There was that one excellent rendition of _Huckleberry Finn_....and the there was _Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court_ and all the weird spin-offs (the Danny Kaye version)....I always thought the Jack London books were tedious but I did like the movie versions... |

Nah, no Oscar list for most of these . . . they were just the movies we watched while the titanium queen began her mending. Scout |

Which one was that? ...and the there was _Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court_ and all the weird spin-offs (the Danny Kaye version).... Hah! I saw that... long time ago... I thought it was pretty good back then. Danny Kaye was pretty funny. ... I always thought the Jack London books were tedious but I did like the movie versions... Jack London is like James Fenimore Cooper, great for adventure but not so great on content or accuracy. I loved all those adventure books in my early teens, then discovered actual history and realized that nothing remotely like it ever happened (or could). Then Mark Twain's essay "The Literary Offenses of James Fenimore Cooper" killed the whole game for me. Another don't-see movie is the 'Last of the Mohicans' from the early 1990s, don't remember who starred in it. It should have been titled 'Men with Long Hair & Torn Clothes Running in the Woods' as that pretty much sums up the plot, the dialog, and 90% of the action. Neither J.F. Cooper nor Mark Twain would have recognized it IMHO. A good one (even has some sailing in it) is the Spencer Tracy version of 'Captains Courageous.' Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
Best Oscar Predictions
The Maltise Falcon is a better flick than read, same with to Kill a
mocking Bird. I also think Spencer Tracy as the Old man of the sea was as excellent as the book, however "For whom the bell tolls" is a better read. I agree with Catch 22 great book , movie sucked. Oh and all the James Cravell books, King Rat, Shogun, Tiapan, were all better books than movies/mini series. The Dove was a better book too! Joe |

For sure - nothing wrong with the new and improved - particularly as long as the latter is true. Scout |
